2. Integrity

Every member must act honestly and transparently—whether handling survivor onboarding, wellness checks, or message reviews. No falsified data or misrepresentation is tolerated.

3. Respect

Every interaction—whether with survivors, sponsors, or law enforcement—must reflect empathy, patience, and professionalism.

4. Accountability

Members are responsible for following established procedures and reporting any misuse or suspected violations immediately.

5. Training and Awareness

Each member must complete the required Find Me Alive® training modules and keep current with updates on safety protocols and system improvements.

6. No Misuse Policy

Any attempt to misuse Find Me Alive® tools, impersonate a survivor, or share unauthorized data results in immediate suspension and investigation.

7. Collaboration

Members are expected to work cooperatively with other survivors, sponsors, and compliance teams to maintain trust, accuracy, and network stability.

8. Representation

Members represent the Find Me Alive® name. Public communication or appearances should always uphold the dignity, legality, and compassion the brand stands for.

Enforcement and Review

• Violations are reviewed by the Find Me Alive® Ethics and Compliance Committee.

• Corrective actions may include retraining, probation, score reduction, or removal from the network.

• Restoring a member score requires a verified period of compliance and positive community engagement.
