6. Interactive services

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site. “Interactive services” means, for example:

  • Badges – our website awards badges to children who have taken one of the 12 types of social action listed on SuperKind, or who have achieved milestones within their fundraising. The awarding of badges is based on the information the individual has provided about the activities they have carried out as well as data collected automatically on SuperKind (for example, whether a child has raised 50% of their fundraising target).
  • Social Impact Schools Award Registration Form – our website hosts the Social Impact Schools Award and its registration, via a Google Doc requesting information about the registering school. This information includes their school name, number of students at the school, name of school contact, email, and postal address.
  • Comments – our website allows for those donating to post comments alongside their donation made.
  • ‘Contact Us’ Form – our website allows site visitors to get in touch and ask questions via a contact form.

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user that breaks the rules of this policy, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a child is subject to approval of their parent, teacher or guardian. If you are a child, please ask your parents and/or guardian about using this service. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Children who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

We do not store terrorist content.

  • Immediate, temporary or permanent removal of any Contribution uploaded by you to our site.
  • Issuing a warning to you.
  • Legal action against you.
