SDB Code of Conduct

  • Be the digital guardian in your area: As an officer of Shambhala, protect and advocate for the protection of individuals (their digital rights and data about them).
  • Be virtuous: Shambhala gathers, records, and processes accurate data about people for their benefit. Therefore, do not send unwanted email or contact people without their consent. Never mis-represent them or use Shambhala data or email to harass, abuse, or harm another person.
  • Obey applicable laws and regulations: never use Shambhala email for spamming or for commercial or political purposes.
  • Follow Shambhala’s policies: Only use Shambhala data for official purposes and delete when no longer needed. Only share Shambhala data with trusted people who will also be bound by these terms of use. Unless required for purposes such as organizing local practice events, registration or financial management, data extracts from the SDB to be used in independent databases are not permitted.
  • Be security minded: Never share your password with others or bypass mechanisms designed to enforce these terms of use.
  • Enforcement: These terms of use are enforceable by Shambhala (Kalapa Media staff) and your local authorities. Your privileges may be revoked if you do not comply.
  • Persistent obligation: Your obligation to comply with these terms of use does not end when you cease being a DBA or are not connected with Shambhala.

Why does Shambhala have these “terms of use”? To make privacy and other rules clear to everyone so that Shambhala’s tax status is protected, our email is not blacklisted, and we are able to get our message out to the world. These terms of use were approved by the Shambhala Digital Oversight Commission in November, 2018.

As a Shambhala Database (SDB) user you are agreeing to the following:

Here i would like to have a list of “down-to-earth” recommandations

  • Do not share your password with anyone
  • Do not copy data from the SDB to another system unless you are authorised by the SDB staff to do so
  • Do not send emails outside of a newsletter channel unless there is a good reason
  • Inform us if you don't need to access the SDB anymore
  • Connect on a regular basis (once a week) to the SDB to execute your “data Rota”
  • Read and agree to the latest code of conduct at least once a year (you will be automatically reminded to do so)
