Contract Priority
This public page complements your signed agreement, collection notices, and local legal review. If there is a conflict, the signed agreement controls.
Audience
Written for school authority, board, district, and education authority deployments in a school-managed environment.
02
Safety by Design Controls
MakerHub applies product and policy controls intended to reduce risk and support early intervention.
- Role-based access controls for students, teachers, administrators, and support roles.
- School-governed class, group, and assignment scoping.
- Restricted access to records and uploads based on institution-managed permissions.
- Support for safety training, completion tracking, audit logging, and classroom supervision workflows.
03
Prohibited Harm, Exploitation, and Unsafe Content
MakerHub prohibits any content or behavior involving child exploitation, grooming, coercion, harassment, abuse, threats, or hate-based targeting.
Any suspected child sexual abuse material, exploitation attempt, credible threat, or severe safety concern is treated as a critical incident.
04
Reporting and Escalation
Users must report child safety concerns immediately through school or school authority reporting channels and to MakerHub when platform action is needed.
For immediate danger, contact emergency services and follow local school emergency procedures first.
- Students should report concerns to a teacher, principal, counselor, or other trusted staff member right away.
- Staff should follow their institution's mandatory reporting, safeguarding, and escalation procedures.
- Platform reports may be sent to support@makerhub.app with relevant account identifiers, class context, links, and timestamps.
- Do not continue engagement with a suspicious account or content while awaiting review.
05
Incident Response
MakerHub may take immediate protective action, including content restriction, account lockout, session invalidation, evidence preservation, and access review, when a child safety risk is suspected.
Where legally required or institutionally directed, MakerHub may cooperate with schools, regulators, child protection authorities, and law enforcement in incident investigation and evidence preservation.
06
School and Family Responsibilities
Institutions are responsible for supervision standards, account governance, family notices, and mandatory reporting obligations in their jurisdiction.
Schools should maintain internal escalation playbooks for digital and physical safety incidents linked to class activity, media sharing, and project work.
Families and guardians should continue to use their school's usual reporting channels for safety concerns involving a student account or assignment.
07
Safety-Related Record Handling
Safety-related logs, reports, and artifacts may be retained as necessary for investigation, legal compliance, and institutional follow-up.
Access to sensitive safety records should be limited to authorized personnel with a legitimate need to know.
08
Review and Updates
MakerHub reviews child safety controls and response procedures based on platform risk, legal developments, and school feedback.
Schools are encouraged to provide recurring digital safety, safeguarding, and reporting training for both staff and students.
This policy may be updated to address legal requirements, safety standards, or platform changes. Updated versions include a revised effective date.
