Guidelines and Principles

Guidelines, Privacy and Policies to make sure Al's work remains accessible and we uphold a strong integrity.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to connect with this content. To Al, the integrity behind his work is incredibly important and our hope with this page is that we can make ‘open,’ the Privacy Policy, Guidelines, and Principles for Al’s website and content.

Please take some time to read and digest this information so that we can uphold a high standard of integrity and openness in the space between us.

Privacy

Al’s online community, content, courses, and programs support participants in delving into new and sometimes uncomfortable topics. We explore the known and unknown; the liminal space between what has been and what is yet to come. These experiences can carry with them feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability.

We have done our best to design our places and programs so that you may share your story with others in a variety of ways. Nevertheless, even when a course or forum area is restricted-access, it is also public in the sense that there may be hundreds of people participating.

Obviously, some areas are more private than others. You should think carefully about what you feel comfortable sharing in the various environments since it is not possible for us to guarantee complete confidentiality.

Privacy Agreement

When sharing in a public forum (Facebook comment, post comment) please remember that anything you share is public and it is your responsibility to make sure you are comfortable in sharing this information. Whilst we do our best to moderate, prevent and resolve any conflict, we cannot be responsible for your post in the first instance.

When something is shared in a private, course-specific Facebook forum, live call, or webinar, please keep personal information among the participants and refrain from sharing it outside of our community. This is a key to us creating a ‘container’ for courageous conversations and is crucial to our work and others’ safety.

Of course, we do encourage you to share the power of our courses with friends and family, however please do not attribute anything shared to anyone specifically. You may talk about the concepts, observations, or topics explored, however, please only share your personal content and de-identify anybody else.

To prevent ambiguity, if you share a story that you don’t want shared in any form, even anonymized, then please say so explicitly. And if you are fine with a story to be shared with your name attached, also say so.

Terms of Service

The following Terms of Service apply to your use of our online community (website, Facebook Groups, and Courses) and course environments. You are solely responsible for your conduct in regard to these terms. By registering with us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the following:

You acknowledge that you will receive email content from us for the purposes of sharing ideas, conversation, and community.

We reserve the right to remove any comment or discussion that jeopardizes the safety and security of our community.

We respectfully request that you refrain from solicitation and promotion of goods, services, websites, or requesting money (profit or non-profit).

Personal contact information (including Facebook, Twitter, email/mailing addresses, and telephone numbers) that is not your own, should never be copied, shared, discussed, posted, or requested publicly in the community (ie, blog posts, discussions, wall posts).

In short, you agree that you will make your best effort to seriously consider and remain in alignment with the values and responsibilities voiced here, and of course, will under no circumstances act in a manner that violates laws and community boundaries that have been established to respect and protect others.
