    Hey everyone!

    I am wondering if there are any open source, free licensed starting points for creating Terms of Service, Content Policy (Guidelines for Participation) and Privacy Policies that are relevant to the sorts of services and community engagements that a CBOX website provides?

    Thank you so much!
    Evan

    Hi Evan,

    We do not provide these types of policies with CBOX because the types of sites using CBOX can vary, but it’s a good question to ask.

    WordPress ships with a default privacy policy template. You could probably start with that: https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-privacy-screen/#using-privacy-settings-tool

    If you need more sites for reference, check out the following to perhaps use as a basis for your own: https://digital.com/privacy-policy-generators/

    Those sites should also have templates for Terms of Service as well.

    With regards to Guidelines for Participation, Mozilla has a pretty decent one that is licensed under the Creative Commons Sharealike license: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/. Some other ones can be found here: https://www.webpurify.com/blog/community-guidelines-best-practices-examples/. As long as you cite their license and license your policy with a compatible license type, you can adapt it to work for your site.

    Hope that helps!

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.

The Commons In A Box was made possible through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The CUNY Graduate Center has directly contributed to the CUNY Academic Commons, housing the project since its inception, and has contributed to CBOX through its GC Digital Initiatives.
