Pronounce provides speech analysis, pronunciation feedback, grammar feedback, vocabulary suggestions, AI speaking practice, and related English-learning tools.
Children and students may use Pronounce when access is provided or authorized by a parent, guardian, school, teacher, educational organization, or other authorized adult or institution.
Depending on how Pronounce is used, different people or organizations may control the account.
If a parent or guardian creates, pays for, supervises, or manages a child’s use of Pronounce, the parent or guardian is responsible for determining whether the child may use Pronounce and for managing the child’s account.
If Pronounce is provided through a school, teacher, university, district, tutoring organization, or other educational organization, that organization may be responsible for authorizing use, providing notices, obtaining required consents, managing users, and controlling student information.
Pronounce provides the service and processes information as described in this notice, the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms and Conditions, applicable agreements, and applicable law.
Pronounce is not intended for independent use by children under 13 without appropriate parent, guardian, school, or teacher involvement where required by law.
If a child under 13 uses Pronounce, the parent, guardian, school, teacher, or organization that creates, authorizes, or manages the account represents that it has authority to allow the child to use Pronounce and to provide any consent required by law.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and related rules may apply when online services collect personal information from children under 13.
Where COPPA applies, Pronounce relies on a parent, guardian, school, teacher, or authorized educational organization to provide any required consent or authorization for child use, where legally permitted.
When Pronounce is used in an educational context, a school or teacher may be permitted to consent to collection of personal information from students for educational purposes, subject to applicable legal requirements.

A person who accesses or manages a child account represents that they have legal authority to do so.
Schools, teachers, and authorized educational organizations may access student account information, learning activity, progress, reports, and related data where such access is part of the educational account, classroom, dashboard, or organization setup.
The school or educational organization is responsible for:
Account deletion is handled through the user account where the account-deletion feature is available.
When an account is deleted, Pronounce processes deletion of account-related data in accordance with our deletion process, subject to legally permitted retention, backup retention, fraud prevention, security needs, tax and accounting obligations, dispute resolution, and other lawful purposes.
Parents, guardians, schools, teachers, and authorized administrators should use account tools to manage access, review information, update settings, or delete accounts where available.
