GMG Mentor Confidentiality Agreement
Operated by LearnDistrict Inc. DBA GIRLS MAKE GAMES
Last updated: Nov 22, 2022
A healthy mentorship maintains transparency, trust, and loyalty. Information, whether one deems as private or not, should not be exchanged beyond the mentor and mentee relationship. The exception to this rule is the possibility of harm to oneself or another. To ensure confidentiality between the mentor, mentee and the program, all mentors and mentees are required to complete and uphold this confidentiality agreement.
For a mentoring relationship to develop, both the mentor and mentee must feel that discussions of private issues or problems are being handled with discretion. The purpose of this agreement is to protect both the mentor and mentee from a breach in confidentiality during the mentoring process. As stated above, a breach of confidentiality will only be made where it is necessary to maintain someone’s personal safety.
I will follow GMG’s Complaints Policy and contact my HR Partner for any concerns I have with the mentorship program.
I agree to keep confidential the specifics of my discussions with my mentee, unless given clear permission to share this information with other partners; for example to connect a mentee with an interesting professional opportunity or to assist the mentee with professional networking and contacts.
I acknowledge GMG will maintain confidentiality unless a breach of confidentiality is necessary to maintain someone's personal safety. In such instances my HR Partner may also be contacted with relevant information.
I understand that if any information about causing harm to others (or to yourself) is shared, this must be reported to GMG and my HR Partner, and they will take appropriate action.
I understand that, as a mentor, I am bound by Girls Make Games’ Privacy Policy.
