Code of Conduct

TL;DR.

Be respectful. Harassment and abuse are never tolerated. If you are in a situation that

makes you uncomfortable at the Event, if the event itself is creating an unsafe or

inappropriate environment, or if interacting with a Hackathon representative or event organizer makes

you uncomfortable, please report it using the procedures included in this document.

Hack For Change stands for inclusivity. We believe that every single person has

the right to hack in a safe and welcoming environment.

Harassment includes but is not limited to offensive verbal or written comments related to

gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion,

social class, economic status, veteran status. Additional cases of harassment include but

not limited to sharing sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, brigading,

doxxing, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events,

inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. If what you’re doing is

making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to

stop doing it.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers, organizers, Hackathon staff, and anyone else participating

in the event are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, attendees should

not use sexualised images, activities, or other material both in their hacks and during the

event. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised

clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, HFC (Hack For Change) may take any action it deems

appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no eligibility

for reimbursement or refund of any type.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other

concerns, please contact HFC using the reporting procedures defined below.

HFC representatives can help participants contact campus security or local law

enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel

safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all hackathon venues, online interactions in

relation to the event, hackathon-related social events, and on hackathon supplied

transportation.
