What kind of data is Duolingo amassing that anyone would care about? I just checked the permissions, and it doesn't have anything enabled which would not be necessary for it to function. Unless the government is interested in my mangled pronunciations or foreign words?

Probably users learning the local language

Right, "give us the info for anyone learning Arabic in this area..."

Especially since you have to start learning a new language from your native language, so they can see the difference between a ukrainian user and a Spanish-speaking user learning English
