Pace requires members to keep conversations confidential and private. This allows us to build a sense of safety and trust with others.

Violation of this policy

Pace prohibits members from sharing anything said in session and in chat at any time. Members understand that everything said in session and/or in chat is confidential. By signing up for a Pace membership, members agree to keep secret anything shared by other members.

Members also understand that there’s an exception to this privacy and confidentiality that applies to facilitators. If a facilitator believes a member needs additional support, the facilitator has the obligation to share this information with the Care Safety Team to ensure everyone involved is safe.

Violations of this policy include, but are not limited to:

• sharing with individuals outside of the group, without consent, other members’ private information (e.g., first and last name; email; social media handles);
• sharing with individuals in the group, without consent, other members’ private information (e.g., first and last name; email; social media handles) shared in private (e.g., direct message);
• sharing with individuals outside the group, without consent, other members’ private media (e.g., videos in which the member is a part);
• sharing with individuals in the group, without consent, other members’ private media (e.g., videos in which the member is a part) shared in private (e.g., direct message).
• sharing with others on any social media platform (e.g., FB posts, tweets), without consent, information pertaining to in-group shares;
• sharing with individuals outside the group, without consent, other members’ experiences and feelings;
• sharing with others on any social media platform (e.g., FB posts, tweets), without consent, other members’ experiences and feelings.

In addition, these below are also a violation of this policy:

• threatening to expose other member’s private information;
• sharing any information that would allow others the ability to easily identify the member without express consent.
• attending session in a non-private place

Non-violation of this policy

Members are allowed to share their own private information, including emails, social media handles, full name, age, and any identifiable media (e.g., tv show, movie, or interview a member was a part of), among others. Also, sharing with others outside of Pace about your experience and feelings at Pace is a non-violation of this policy and recommended. However, only share your own experiences and feelings.

Pace recommends keeping the conversation within the Pace app and not using other messenger services to communicate. This way, Pace is able to offer any necessary support in the event that this or other policies have been violated.
