This policy sets the rules every Core Developments staff member must follow, including how official @coredevelopments.org email accounts may be used. All staff agree to this policy when they join the team or receive an email account.
Core Developments reserves the right to suspend or terminate any @coredevelopments.org email account at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. That decision rests solely with Core Developments.

​
Email Accounts

​
Ownership

All @coredevelopments.org email accounts, and everything sent or stored in them, belong to Core Developments. An email account is provided to help you do your role and is not a personal account.

​
Acceptable Use

Do

  • Use your account for Core Developments work only
  • Communicate professionally and respectfully
  • Keep your password private and use two-factor authentication
  • Report suspicious emails or security issues right away

Do Not

  • Share your login with anyone
  • Use your account for personal sign-ups or business
  • Send spam, harassment, or inappropriate content
  • Speak on behalf of Core Developments without approval

​
Suspension and Removal

Core Developments may suspend, restrict, or delete any email account at any time and for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Breaking these rules or our Terms of Service
  • Leaving or being removed from the team
  • Inactivity
  • Security concerns
When an account is suspended or removed, you lose access to it and its contents. Core Developments is not required to give a reason.

​
Contacting Schools

Core Developments does not email schools. Staff must not contact any school, teacher, or school staff using a Core Developments email account or on behalf of Core Developments.
The only exception is a genuine emergency, such as a risk to someone’s safety. In an emergency, staff should notify Core Developments leadership first whenever possible.

​
Staff Rules

Treat community members, users, and other staff with respect at all times. Harassment, discrimination, and abuse are not tolerated.
Do not share private project information, user data, or internal discussions outside the team.
Only make public statements, promises, or agreements on behalf of Core Developments if leadership has approved them.
Protect every Core Developments account you have access to, including email, Discord, and project tools. Never ask a user for their password.
Use staff access to bots and tools only for your assigned role. Do not misuse moderation powers.
Follow reasonable directions from leadership and your department lead.

​
Breaking the Rules

Breaking this policy can lead to a warning, suspension of your email or other accounts, loss of staff access, or removal from the team. Core Developments decides the outcome.
