Students, schools and younger users

Rekorder isn't for children under 13. Between 13 and the age of legal adulthood where you live, you can use it only under the supervision of a parent, a legal guardian or a school acting on your behalf. Schools can use Rekorder for classroom work. The school or teacher is responsible for getting any consent needed before student content is recorded or shared.

This article summarises the Children's Privacy and Use by Schools section of the Privacy Policy and the age rule in the Terms. If the wording differs, the policy and Terms apply.

Age limits

• Under 13: Rekorder is not directed to anyone under 13, and we don't knowingly permit them to register. We don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
• 13 up to the age of legal adulthood: You may use Rekorder only under the supervision of a parent, legal guardian or an educational institution acting on your behalf. The age of legal adulthood depends on where you live.
• When you sign in: By signing in, you accept the Terms, and that includes confirming that you're at least 13.
• If we learn we hold data from a child under 13: If we collect personal data from someone under 13 without verified parental consent, we take steps to remove it from our servers, consistent with COPPA.
• If you're a parent or guardian: If you know your child has given Rekorder personal data, contact us. See How do I contact support?.
• Where a country requires parental consent: If we rely on consent to process someone's information and their country requires a parent's consent, we may ask for the parent's consent first.

Using Rekorder in a school

Students can show up in a recording without anyone planning it. A name, a voice or a face can be picked up in a classroom or tutorial recording, for example. When Rekorder is used in a K-12 or other educational setting, our policy says that this content:

• Is used only to provide the service, as the school or the individual user has configured and directed it.
• Is not sold.
• Is not used for behavioral advertising.

Rekorder has no school-specific features or plans, such as student accounts or admin controls for a whole school. The controls it does have are the ones any team gets from a workspace. See Workspaces: what they are and when to create one and Owner, admin and member: what each can do.

What the school is responsible for

Educators, administrators and institutions stay responsible for:

• Getting any parental or other consent required under FERPA, COPPA or applicable state student-privacy laws before they use Rekorder to capture, store or share student-related content.
• Configuring sharing and retention settings so they suit the school's use case.

Rekorder doesn't collect this consent for you. The steps below can help you cover your side.

1. Check what your school or district requires before recording students.
2. Tell everyone that you're recording, and who will be able to watch. See Telling people you are recording them.
3. Choose who can watch each recording. See Private, specific people, or anyone with the link.
4. Review how long recordings are kept. See How long recordings are kept.
