The Professional Association of CISOs (“PAC”, or “the Association”), has a Code of Digital Conduct to ensure there is professional and ethical behavior associated with all PAC activities and platforms.

By accessing and using this website you agree to the following Code of Digital Conduct. If you do not agree to the Code of Digital Conduct, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy, you must immediately terminate use of this site.

To help the Professional Association of CISOs maintain dialogue that is relevant and respectful of the rights of others, you understand that when you submit comments, posts or images on PAC’s digital platforms (“User Generated Content”), you will not:

• Spread false and/or defamatory information.
• Include content that is discriminatory, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person’s privacy or right to publicity, or otherwise violative of any law.
• Infringe on copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets.
• Post content that includes private and/or personal information, such as home phone numbers and email addresses.
• Promote commercial services and products or causes.
• Post in manner that would constitute spamming (e.g., posting with such frequency or repetitiveness that others may be discouraged from posting, posts that are irrelevant to the topic and/or the PAC’s mission, and “follow me” posts) or trolling (defined as comments that appear intended to send the discussion in a fruitless direction).

The Association does not have the obligation to monitor User-Generated Content but reserves the right to do so. Content that is posted in violation of this policy may be blocked or removed at the sole discretion of the Association. Violations of this Digital Code of Conduct may cause your access to this site or ability to post content to be suspended or terminated and, as violations of the Association’s Code of Professional Conduct, may further impact an individual’s status as a Member of the PAC up to and including termination of membership.

By submitting content online, you grant to the Association a perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, download, duplicate, display, distribute, modify and create derivative works of that content without your further approval or permission and without compensation by the Association.

As a courtesy, please do not send commercial messages directly to participants unless specifically invited to do so by such an individual. Complaints about unsolicited commercial messages are taken very seriously.

The Association is not responsible for the opinions or claims of other users posted to our digital channels and we do not typically confirm the accuracy of postings. User-generated content, such as comments or posts, represent the views of those providing the content, and do not necessarily represent the views or policy of the PAC. References or links (provided by the Association or by a user) to products or services do not constitute endorsements by PAC.

This Code of Digital Conduct may be amended or modified at any time.
