Enabling or disabling Children's Education Status setting

As an admin or owner, you can use the Children's Education Status setting to self-identify your Zoom account profile and report if your organization uses Zoom products to provide educational services to children under 18.

Notes:

• Zoom only accepts signatures for Zoom’s Consent to Educational Data Collection Practices from authorized superintendents, principals, administrators or teachers. Your organization will be required to re-sign Zoom’s Consent to Educational Data Collection Practices on a yearly basis at renewal.
• All international and U.S.-based customers must enable the Children's Education Status setting.
  • If you are a U.S. customer who provides educational services to children under age 13, you are required to e-sign Zoom’s Consent to Educational Data Collection Practices.
  • If you are an international customer who provides educational services to children under age 13, you are not required to e-sign Zoom’s Consent to Educational Data Collection Practices.
• Please contact your CSM or Support for any questions.
