If you use Fluency Tutor to monitor/review students reading, to set them reading tasks, to control what content the students will have access to, and/or to make use of analytics/data tools on Fluency Tutor, then you are considered a Teacher User.

Such a user would be considered to be a Student User.
If you are:</p>
<p>5.
a Teacher User, you undertake that prior to interacting with any Student User through Fluency Tutor you will make this privacy notice available to them and procure that Student User’s agreement, and where such Student User is under the age of 13, their parent’s or guardian’s agreement, to be bound by these User Terms on their behalf, as if ‘you’ and ‘your’ referred to that person where appropriate.
You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to procure such compliance.
