Parental permission to use Remind

Avatar

Remind is designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a federal law that requires parents to consent to their child's participation—and for teachers and school administrators to verify that parents have agreed to Remind's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy on behalf of their child. That's what verifiable consent means.

When a student under 13 signs up for Remind, parents receive an email detailing the steps required to offer verifiable consent for their child. There are two options: 

  1. Parents can download a form from the original email, print and sign the form, and upload a photo of it using the links provided. 
  2. Parents can use their credit card. There will be a $0.50 transaction on the card that is immediately refunded. Once this permission is given, Remind will not store your credit card info.
