Spirit of the Policy

We understand that in a digital world, personal information goes beyond name and address. We believe that there are some instances that posting personally identifiable information about yourselves or others can be allowed, however, these circumstances must meet incredibly specific requirements, such as, locating a missing person. Our goal is to protect the personal information of every Medal user, including their digitally identifiable information such as IP address among other information. 

Principles and Rational

Rational 

Privacy and the protection of personal information are fundamentally important values for Medal. We understand that in a digital world, personal information goes beyond name and address. We work hard to keep your account secure and safeguard your personal information in order to protect you from potential physical, financial or other types of harm. You should not post personal or confidential information about others without first getting their consent. We also provide people ways to report imagery that they believe to be in violation of their privacy rights. 


Principles

The goal of our Community Standards is to encourage expression and create a safe environment. We base our policies on input from our community and from experts in fields such as technology and public safety. Our policies are also rooted in the following principles:


Safety

Safety: Safety is an essential factor in community building. At Medal, we are dedicated to removing content that encourages or causes real-world harm, including (but not limited to) physical, emotional, or financial injury as well as privacy violations that could harm a targeted individual(s).


Voice

We embrace the different backgrounds and diverse views of our community. We want to provide a platform and opportunity for users to not only share their gaming experience but build lasting bonds with one another. We err on the side of allowing content, even when some find it objectionable unless removing that content cant prevent real-world harm to the user. We vow to discuss and consider allowing content that otherwise violates our stands if we deem it to be newsworthy, or important to the public interest based on global and national trends.
