Video Policy

This policy provides guidelines for retaining and deleting video recordings of internal meetings. It aims to balance transparency, legal obligations, and privacy concerns in our horizontal organization. Recordings enable asynchronous access for those unable to attend live.

This policy covers any employees recording meetings on company-approved platforms. It applies to all staff members as well as external contractors and advisors.

General Business: Recordings may be stored for a maximum of 1 year post-meeting, after which they must be permanently deleted. Exceptions may be made if recordings become relevant to legal or audit needs.

Recruitment: Recordings related to hiring (interviews, references, hiring meetings) are deleted earlier of the new employee’s start date or 1 year post-meeting.

Product demos, tool / process how-tos: These recordings are retained indefinitely and should be culled as the information contained become outdated.

All video recordings will be accessible to employees through our video platform. Individual videos or subsets of videos may be shared with consultants and advisors with active contracts that include confidentiality provisions and whose work directly relate to the recorded content. All other external sharing is prohibited without consent from all recorded parties.

Meeting participants must inform all attendees of intent to record prior to recording. Individuals uncomfortable being recorded can turn off cameras/mics or recuse from the meeting. If you do not turn off your camera, you will be understood to have consented to being recorded during the meeting.

Participants can revoke their consent to the recording of their voice/image at any time, including after the meeting has been recording. In the circumstance that a participant revokes their consent after a meeting has been recorded, the recording will be edited to remove the participant.

Any staff member present in a recording can edit out segments in our video platform. This allows removing sensitive information or parts where individuals rescind consent.

Recordings will be encrypted end-to-end with access controls allowing auditing of when a recording was accessed and/or modified.

All employees are trusted with ensuring compliance to this policy. Violations can be raised to the broader team for discussion and conflict resolution.

Questions or issues related to privacy can be voluntarily raised via chat, at the monthly horizontal practices meeting, or the monthly all-hands meeting. The team will collectively decide on appropriate compromises.
