Tidepool Code of Conduct

This code of conduct applies to all community members (e.g., open source contributors and other volunteers) and Tidepool team members in all Tidepool communities online (including but not limited to Tidepool's internal and external Slack groups, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), while working in the Tidepool office or remotely, at all events hosted by Tidepool, at diabetes community and industry events attended by a Tidepool employee, whether or not directly representing Tidepool.

Tidepool is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, color, sex (with or without sexual conduct and including pregnancy and sexual orientation involving transgender status/gender identity, and sex-stereotyping), national origin, age, disability (physical or mental), genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, parental status, marital status, and political affiliation as well as gender expression, medical condition, mental illness, socioeconomic status or background, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, computing experience, or clothing.

We do not tolerate harassment, bullying, or intimidation of community or Tidepool Team members in any form. Harassment, bullying, and intimidation include, but are not limited to:

• offensive verbal comments related to the protected classes above,

• sexual images in public spaces,

• deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, photography, or audio/video recording against reasonable consent,

• sustained disruption of meetings, talks, or other events,

• inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention,

• negative (e.g. shaming, degrading, or critical) comments related to someone’s choice to wear a mask, choice of diet, choice of diabetes therapy, or other health-related or medical-related matters.

Harassment, bullying, or intimidation does not need to be recognized as unwanted or unwelcome by anyone other than the person being harassed or bullied.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Community members violating these rules may be sanctioned or removed from community spaces. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please file a complaint following the steps of our Complaint Policy.
