Acceptable Use Policy
Guidelines for responsible use of the StatStack platform. We expect all users to treat the platform, its data, and each other with respect.
1. Purpose
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") defines the acceptable and prohibited uses of the StatStack platform. It applies to all users, including organization administrators, staff members, and creators.
This policy supplements our Terms of Service. Where there is a conflict between this AUP and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service will govern. By using StatStack, you agree to comply with both this AUP and the Terms of Service.
2. Responsible Data Handling
StatStack enables organizations to manage sensitive creator information, including personal addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, salary details, and contract terms. This data carries real responsibility.
- Organization administrators must have appropriate consent from creators before collecting their personal data through the platform.
- Creator data must not be shared outside the platform without the explicit consent of the creator.
- Salary and contract information must be handled confidentially and only shared with staff members who have a legitimate need to access it.
- Access permissions should follow the principle of least privilege. Only grant staff members the specific permissions they need to perform their role.
