Account integrity
Each authorized user must have their own account. Credentials may not be shared. Account information must be accurate and kept up to date. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials and for any activity under their account. Compromised credentials must be reported to security@preventionos.org without undue delay.
- 6.
Sensitive data and participant care
preventionOS is designed for prevention training and the operational lifecycle of prevention work. Users may not use the Service to store or process content that the Service is not designed to handle, including unredacted clinical case records, forensic interview transcripts, identifiable child welfare investigative content, or other content that belongs in a case-management or clinical record system. Users must follow the Customer's policies and applicable law for handling participant information, including any policies about parental consent for minors and about disclosure of training participation.
- 7.
Use of optional AI features
Where the Customer enables optional AI features, the Customer remains responsible for reviewing and approving AI-generated output before it is sent, published, submitted to a funder, or used in a way that affects a participant or partner. Users may not use AI features to. (a) generate content that violates Section 3. (b) generate communications that are misrepresented as not AI-assisted where disclosure is required by law or by Customer policy. (c) generate content intended to harm an identifiable individual.
- 8.
Resource use
preventionOS provides the Service on a fair-use basis sized to the Customer's subscription. Users may not engage in usage patterns that are not consistent with normal prevention-program operations and that materially affect the experience of other users. Where reasonable, preventionOS will contact the Customer to resolve resource issues before taking enforcement action.
- 9.
Reporting violations
Suspected violations of this AUP can be reported to security@preventionos.org. preventionOS will review reports and take action as warranted. Reports made in good faith do not need to identify the reporter, although a means of follow-up is helpful where the situation requires investigation.
- 10.
Enforcement
preventionOS may, in its discretion. (a) provide notice and an opportunity to cure where the violation is curable and the user is acting in good faith. (b) suspend specific users or specific functionality where preventionOS reasonably believes a violation poses an immediate risk to the Service, to Customer Data, to a Data Subject, or to the broader prevention field. (c) terminate a user, a Customer subscription, or both for serious or repeated violations, in line with the MSA. Enforcement under this AUP does not waive any other right or remedy preventionOS has under the MSA or under applicable law.
- 11.
Updates to this AUP
preventionOS may update this AUP from time to time. Material updates will be communicated to the Customer at least thirty (30) days before they take effect, and will be governed by MSA Section 10(b). Any update will not apply retroactively to a Customer's past use of the Service in good faith under the AUP version in effect at the time, and Customers will retain the AUP terms in effect at the start of their then-current term until renewal. Non-material updates that do not reduce Customer rights or expand prohibited conduct in a meaningful way (clarifications, contact updates, formatting changes) may take effect on posting. The current effective version is presented within the Platform on first login and on material updates.
