Code of conduct
Be nice. Don't do anything you wouldn't like being done to you.
DATA_FAIR is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the discretion of the conference organisers.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
* Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination, related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance and or clothing, masking, body size, race, age, religion, and other
* Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
* Harassing photography or recording
* Sustained disruption of talks or other events
* Inappropriate physical contact
* Unwelcome sexual attention
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, event organisers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no additional explanation needed.
Event organisers may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants. We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social activities.
Participants and organisers will also keep in mind everyone's health and safety. Participants are encouraged to stay home if they experience any symptoms of respiratory illness. The venue is equipped with ventilation.
If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible to one of the conference staff. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of our event for everyone. You won't be asked to confront anyone and we won't tell anyone who you are. Our team will be happy to assist you to feel safe for the duration of the event.
This anti-harassment policy is based on the example policy from the Ada Initiative and other volunteers.
