-
Where we do provide any interactive or recording service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical);
-
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 in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not;
-
The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. 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. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them;
-
Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
Recording is an optional function of the ClassView service offered by I-Immersive that allows an authorised user who books a conference provided through ClassView to request a digital recording of that conference to be made and subsequently downloaded by the stated users during a limited storage period which will always be stated at the time of the conference booking.
By default, recording rights are disabled for all users, but an administrator may permit use of the recording function by any individual user at any time (provided that each user who is recorded is informed of this recording action and has the right to opt-out from such recording).
All recordings within ClassView will be stored in the media library for 90 days post-recording. At 90 days, recordings will be deleted. Deleted recordings are stored by I-Immersive on our secure server for an additional 30 days and can be retrieved during this time. On expiry of the 30-day period, all recordings are deleted and cannot be retrieved. It is the responsibility of the organisation to ensure recordings with retention requirements are saved to another location.
Recordings must only be made of children with the explicit and verifiable consent of the child's parent/guardian unless that child is aged 12 years or over, the information collected is restricted to that necessary to enable the child to utilise the Services or to be sent further but limited online communications and it is clear that the child understands what is involved in terms of the recordings.
