Hey,
In the past I used Duolingo to study languages, but now I’m more privacy-conscious and looking for better options. And their recent data breach only solidified that intention.
I recently saw someone posted a comparison table for privacy policies of Duolingo and a number of competing products. Unfortunately I cannot find it now.
Can you give any suggestions? I’m not opposed to paid services, btw
It's this:

I believe the consensus is that it was deliberately misleading, but I should find the post that was made on here again

That's not to say that Duolingo is privacy respecting, of course, far from it. But it may not be as bad as it was made out to be
OMG that's the one! Thank you! I need to review the article and discussion though
