Our shared standard
BPYC's online community should reflect faith, fellowship, service, respect, and special care for young people. These guidelines apply to accounts, profiles, messages, photos, galleries, event participation, volunteer work, documents, meetings, and any other interaction supported by the website.
Be respectful and truthful
- Treat every person with dignity regardless of age, background, ability, gender, role, chapel, or opinion.
- Use your real identity and submit accurate information for official records.
- Disagree without insults, humiliation, threats, gossip, or retaliation.
- Do not impersonate parish leaders, officers, members, guardians, or organizations.
Protect children and private information
- Never use the system to groom, exploit, sexualize, threaten, isolate, or pressure a child or vulnerable person.
- Do not publish home addresses, private contact details, access credentials, consent records, donation receipts, attendance records, or other restricted information.
- Obtain appropriate permission before uploading or republishing another person's image, testimony, document, or personal story.
- Follow guardian-consent, supervision, photography, event, and check-in requirements.
- Report a safeguarding concern to responsible parish leadership. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
Keep content safe and relevant
Do not upload or link to malware, scams, spam, explicit sexual material, graphic violence, hate content, illegal material, copyright infringement, or content unrelated to an authorized BPYC activity. Do not use parish contacts for unauthorized sales, fundraising, political campaigning, or mass solicitation.
Public galleries and announcements may be shared beyond the member area. Before submitting material for public use, consider whether publication is safe, respectful, accurate, and properly authorized.
Respect system access
Use only the records and functions allowed by your assigned role. Do not share accounts or QR credentials, copy restricted documents, scrape member data, bypass approval steps, alter attendance dishonestly, or attempt to discover security weaknesses without written authorization.
Reporting and enforcement
Report harmful content, privacy incidents, account misuse, or safeguarding concerns through the BPYC contact information on this website. Preserve relevant details, but do not conduct your own public investigation or spread allegations.
BPYC may remove content, limit visibility, correct records, revoke QR credentials, restrict features, suspend accounts, preserve evidence, notify guardians or parish leadership, or refer serious matters to appropriate authorities. Actions will consider safety, context, fairness, privacy, and applicable parish procedures and law.
