When they initially sign up, each member of your community agrees to your community's Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy.
This is the sign up modal where members agree to these polices
Code of Conduct
Your code of conduct is an agreement on the rules of behavior for the members of the community. It should outline the norms, rules, responsibilities, or proper practices that a member should follow when in the community.
If you'd like to reference the Gradual Community's Code of Conduct for inspiration, it can be found here.
Once you have the Code of Conduct created, save it as a publicly accessible web document as you'll need to enter the URL in your community settings within the dashboard.
Event attendees
Event attendees agree to the community's Code of Conduct by joining the event, and will see a direct link to the Code of Conduct on event registration confirmation pop-ups.
Privacy Policy
Your Privacy Policy states how the platform treats personal information or 'Personal Data' that is gathered when using or accessing the platform. You may be able to use the same Privacy Policy that you use on your website.
Once you have the Privacy Policy created, save it as a publicly accessible web document as you'll need to enter the URL in your community settings within the dashboard.
Terms of Service (Optional)
You can also load a Terms of Service document to your Gradual account, if you have that policy in addition to the Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy. Similar to the other two mandatory documents, once you have the Terms of Service created, save it as a publicaly accessible web docuent as you'll need to enter the URL in your community settings within the dashboard.
Note: This is optional to load, so if not Terms of Service are loaded, the policy link will not appear when members sign up.
Update these policies
Ensure that your most recent Code of Conduct, Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (optional) are listed in your community settings.
Sign into your dashboard and select Settings
Select Community and beside Policies, select the Edit button
Enter the URL of the policy and select Save
Any changes to your community policies will be logged in the admin activity log so you can track all changes to this setting.
