- Thanks to GDPR and if you are in Europe, you can request to download a copy of your personal data from Duolingo via https://www.duolingo.com/abc-privacy
- The page tells you to send an email to privacy@duolingo.com
- Then you receive an email which tells you to go to the page https://drive-thru.duolingo.com/ and click on “Access Personal Data”
- You receive a confirmation email and few minutes later another email with a link to download a copy of your personal data
- After uncompressing the file “duolingo.zip”, you can see quite a few files.
- In particular, you can see in the file “metrics.csv” which shows that Duolingo tries to guess your approximate birthdate/birthday:
approximate_birthdate,country_code
YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.fff,XX
It is kind of funny to see Duolingo trying to guess my birthdate up to the milliseconds!
Feel free to request your personal data too! 😊
Please let me know in the comment: how good the Duolingo guess was? ✍️
