Section 1 - Community Standards & Contributions
👥 ("Play Nice & Share Cool Stories")
We love great stories about data, ethics, and saving the world—but let’s keep it real, kind, and truthful. No fake news, no trolls, and definitely no hate speech. If you post something awesome, we might share it (with credit, of course).
Pathfinder Exploration Community thrives on the contributions of individuals who are passionate about making a difference. Our platform is designed to spotlight individuals and organizations that embody our core values: Passion, Action, Tenacity, and Humility (PATH).
By submitting content (such as podcast interviews, blog articles, community posts, or feedback), you agree that:

Content that promotes misinformation, harmful data practices, discrimination, or unethical behavior is not permitted.
-
We reserve the right to remove any content that does not align with our mission or violates ethical standards.
Section 2 - Ethical AI & Data Transparency
🤖 ("We Use AI, But We Promise It’s Not Evil")
AI helps us clean up transcripts, enhance content, and keep things running smoothly—but don’t worry, we won’t replace your words with robot gibberish. Also, we DO NOT sell your data, because that’s just rude.
At Pathfinders, we are committed to ethical storytelling and responsible AI usage. We believe in transparency, accountability, and protecting the integrity of every story shared on our platform.
-
AI & Content Editing: AI may be used for transcription, clarity enhancements, or summarization, but the original voice and message of contributors will always be preserved.
-
Data Privacy: Pathfinder Exploration Community does not sell personal data to third parties. Any data collected is used to improve user experience, engagement, and platform functionality.
-
Responsible Data Use: We encourage responsible data storytelling, ensuring that any shared insights contribute to societal good, protect privacy, and align with ethical standards.
Section 3 - Accuracy, Completeness, and Timeliness of Information
🕵️ ("We Try Our Best, But Double-Check Your Facts")
We do our homework before posting, but if you’re making big life decisions based on something you read here—maybe fact-check it first. We're not Wikipedia (but hey, neither is Wikipedia sometimes).
While we strive to provide valuable insights and accurate information, the material on this site is for general informational purposes only. Users should independently verify information before making decisions based on content from this platform. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.
We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we are not obligated to update any information. It is the user’s responsibility to stay informed about changes.
Section 4 - Modifications to the Service and Pricing
💸 ("Prices Change. Life Happens.")
Sometimes we adjust prices or update our services. If that happens, we’ll try to give you a heads-up—but be nice if your favorite deal is gone, okay?
Prices for our products and services are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part of content thereof) at any time without prior notice.
We shall not be liable to users or third parties for any modifications, price changes, suspensions, or discontinuation of services.
Section 5 - Third-Party Links and Collaborations
🔗 ("Click at Your Own Risk")
We work with some pretty cool partners, but if you click on a third-party link, you're entering their world. If things go sideways, don’t come back yelling at us—we warned you.
Pathfinders collaborates with external organizations and changemakers to amplify impact. Our site may contain links to third-party services, guest interviews, and partner content. While we aim to feature trusted sources, we are not responsible for the content, policies, or actions of third-party sites. Users should review third-party policies before engaging with external links.
Section 6 - Prohibited Uses
🚫 ("No Funny Business, Please")
Just because this is the internet doesn’t mean you can spam, scam, or be a menace to society. If you do, we’ll probably kick you out faster than you can say “Oops.”
To maintain a safe and ethical community, users are prohibited from:
-
Posting false or misleading information
-
Uploading content that infringes on intellectual property rights
-
Using the site for fraudulent, abusive, or discriminatory practices
-

We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these guidelines.
Section 7 - Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
⚠️ ("We’re Not Wizards, So Use This Site at Your Own Risk")
We do our best to keep everything running smoothly, but if the website crashes, your cat walks across your keyboard, or you make a bad decision based on our content… that’s on you, my friend.
Pathfinder Exploration Community does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free service. While we make every effort to provide valuable content, we are not liable for damages arising from:
-
Inaccuracies in content

Service interruptions, cybersecurity threats, or third-party actions
Users engage with our content at their own discretion and risk.
Section 8 - Governing Law & Contact Information

We follow Ontario, Canada’s rules, so if you have legal beef with us, that’s where you’ll be heading. If you need to chat, email us instead of sending a carrier pigeon: info@pathfinders.social

Section 9 - Data Retention & Privacy Updates
📂 ("We Hold Your Info, But We Won’t Be Creepy About It")
If you buy something or submit info, we keep it on record unless you ask us nicely to delete it. Also, we update our privacy policy sometimes—because, well, the internet never stops changing.
When you place an order through our site, we will maintain your order information for our records unless you request its deletion. We may update our privacy policies to reflect changes in practices, operational needs, or legal compliance. For privacy inquiries, contact: info@pathfinders.social
