How are child / restricted accounts different from regular accounts?

• Any parent who creates an account for their under 13 child becomes the permanent guardian and teacher of the account.
  • Child accounts created with parental approval will be deleted after 7 days if no parent connection to the account is confirmed.
  • The maintenance of a child account is reserved only for the use of one of the parents or legal guardians. Violation of this policy may result in the deletion of that account in its entirety.
    
  • Additionally, a Parent can prohibit, approve, or deny teacher access through their Parent Account. 
    
• Child accounts cannot add personal information to a profile. 
  
  • Child accounts cannot disclose any personal information on their account, except for username and progress data to a teacher added to the account through a class.
  • Parents may add personal information to the account profile through the Parent Account Settings. 
    
• Under 13 accounts cannot participate in Khan Academy forum discussions,
  • This includes not being able to post questions/answers.
    
• Under 13 accounts cannot receive email communication from Khan Academy.
  • All communications from Khan Academy will be sent to the Parent or teacher email associated with the account. 

• In regards to the Computer Science programs on Khan Academy: 
  • Programs created by an under 13 user are only viewable to the user's parent and teacher - not to the general public on the Browse Projects page. 
  • No one will be able to upvote Computer Programs made by an under 13 user.
