Safeguarding

One of our non-negotiable policies at Collab Company involves our commitment to the safety of everyone, without exception, and have therefore designed our infrastructure to perpetuate safeguarding practices at every level. As such, everyone involved in or associated with our company will be provided with waivers or codes of conduct which have been specifically tailored for the type of work you will be undertaking within Collab Company, as necessary. Given the nature of Collab Company as a hub of creativity for all ages, we are aware that many of our users may be minors (under 18 years of age) and we therefore encourage all parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide the online activity and safety of those in their care. Collab Company does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from unsupervised children without the consent of their parents or guardians. Our bespoke codes of conduct for all features of our company involving minors reflects this. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
