  Use of De-identified, Aggregate or Anonymized Information

  We use de-identified, aggregate or anonymized information to help us analyze the use of the Website. Where permitted by law, this Privacy Policy does not limit our use or disclosure of de-identified, aggregate, pseudonymous or anonymous information, and we reserve the right to use and disclose such information to our partners, advertisers, and other third parties at our discretion. 

  How We Disclose Your Information

  2U shares your information with other entities or individuals in the following limited circumstances: 

  1. The School: We may share your information with the relevant School in order to provide the Program, track your participation in the Program, and/or fulfill our contracted responsibilities to the School. Once we share your personal information with the School, 2U does not maintain control over the School’s use of your personal information. We also share de-identified, aggregate, pseudonymous or anonymous information with the School for their own research and analytics purposes. The School’s use of your information is subject to its privacy policy.

  2. 2U, Inc. and its affiliates: Where you have expressed interest or given your consent, we share your information with 2U, Inc.’s affiliated companies to provide you with information about other educational programs.

In particular, we use third-party providers for website hosting, maintenance, marketing services, courier services, certification services, business operations, payment services, and identity verification services (“Service Providers”). These Service Providers are only given access to your information to the extent necessary to process your information and/or provide services to 2U, and they are prohibited from using or sharing your information for any other purposes. Where permitted by law, 2U discloses limited information about you to Service Providers to serve relevant advertising on third party platforms to you or to other audiences.

  4. Your Employer or Sponsor or their Designee: We share your information with your employer or sponsor, or someone designated by them, in the event that such third-party is paying for your Program.

  6. Legal Matters; Safety: We access or share your information to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety; as permitted by law; or otherwise as required by law. We disclose your information to protect the security of the Program, the Website, servers, network systems, and databases. We also disclose your information, as necessary, if we believe that there has been a violation of our Terms of Use (including investigation of potential violations thereof), any other legal document or contract related to the Website, or the rights of any third party.

  7. Fraud; Security: We access and disclose your information to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or other technical issues.

  8. Consent; Other: We share information with third parties when we have your consent or otherwise as described to you at the point of collection.

  9. Sale or Transfer of Business or Assets: 2U may sell or purchase assets during the normal course of our business. If another entity acquires us or any of our assets, information we have collected about you may be transferred to such entity. In addition, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, such information may be considered an asset of ours and may be sold or transferred to third parties. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee use your information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

  10. International Transfers: We may transfer personal information from your location to other countries, including Australia, Canada, the European Economic Area, Mexico, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where our employees and/or servers are located. Where your personal information is transferred outside of the country where you are located, such information is adequately protected by an adequacy decision by EU authorities, Standard Contractual Clauses, or a Service Provider’s Binding Corporate Rules. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be provided for your review on request to privacy@2U.com. 

  Information Security and Data Retention

  We are committed to protecting the security of your information. We maintain what we believe to be appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure your information and to prevent unauthorized access, maintain accuracy, and ensure appropriate use of your information. The accuracy, safety, and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you – or where you have chosen – a password for access to any parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask that you not share your password with anyone. Even though we do our best to protect your information, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee our security measures. We are not responsible for any unauthorized access to or acquisition of your information. 

  We retain your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you. We also may retain your personal information for a longer period of time which enables us to: 

  • Maintain business records for analysis and/or audit purposes; 

  • Comply with record retention requirements under the law;

  • Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims;

  • Address any complaints regarding the services;

  • Enforce our commercial agreements; and

  • Support our legitimate interests, as described in this Privacy Policy. 

  Accessing and Managing Your Personal Information

  If you have created a profile or are enrolled in a Program, you may access your personal information through your user profile. 

  In some instances, you may be eligible to (a) ask us for a copy of your personal information; (b) correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information; and/or (c) obtain the personal information you provide to us in a structured, machine readable format. In addition, you may have the right under applicable law to object to the processing of your personal information in some circumstances. 

  Your rights regarding your personal information may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person or would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights), or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. We will inform you of the relevant exemption upon which we rely when responding to any request you make. 

  Our use of certain personal information is necessary for us to provide information to you about the Program or to provide services to you through the Website or otherwise. If you choose not to provide this personal information or request that 2U delete or restrict the processing of this personal information, you may not be able to participate in the Program, and we may not be able to provide you with other services, including those provided through the Website or advertised about the Program. 

  If you wish to access, manage, or delete your information as described in this section, please fill out 2U’s Data Request Form.  If you believe your rights regarding your personal information have been infringed upon, please contact us privacy@2U.com. Individuals with unresolved concerns who are located in certain jurisdictions -- including the EU, Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, South Africa, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom --  have the right to lodge a complaint with their applicable data protection authority.

  Additional Information

  You may have specific rights relating to the disclosure of any personal information that you provide to us and/or education records that we may create about you under the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (“FERPA”).
