Ethical Practices

Privacy

We understand the importance of protecting user's personal information and will ensure user's privacy expectations will be met. We will be transparent about any information we collect and will provide users with options to manage their privacy settings.

Anti-Discrimination

We understand the potential for technology to inadvertently allow discrimination. To combat this, we will define a list of words/phrases to prohibit. This list will be updated to include any new terms or variations. In addition, our software will utilize a censoring mechanism to not allow these banned phrases to be displayed. Common approaches for this include: string matching algorithms, regular expressions, or a third party content moderation API. We can conduct inspections of users activity to minimize the risk of all forms of discrimination. Users that are seen frequently using inappropriate words/phrases will have their account banned.

Harm Prevention

The misuse of our software to cause harm is taken very seriously. Our web app will incorporate measures to protect users from malicious actions. Users will be able to report other users for any harmful activity. We will update our security and monitoring if any new threats emerge and to keep up with evolving user needs.
