# Code of Conduct

We are committed to keeping our community open and inclusive.
This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within
the **Stitch Fix** community, as well as steps to
reporting unacceptable behavior. We are committed to providing a
welcoming and inspiring community for all and expect our code of conduct
to be honored. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be banned
from the community.

**Our Code of Conduct can be found here**:
http://opensource.stitchfix.com/code-of-conduct.html
Our open source community strives to:

- **Be friendly and patient.**
- **Be welcoming**: We strive to be a community
that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities.
This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity,
culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and
economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief,
religion, and mental and physical ability.
- **Be considerate**: Your work will be used by
other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any
decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should
take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember
that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating
in someone else’s primary language.
- **Be respectful**: Not all of us will agree all
the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor
manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we
cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s
important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable
or threatened is not a productive one.
- **Be careful in the words that we choose**: we
are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves
professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other
participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t
acceptable.
- **Try to understand why we disagree**:
Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time. It is
important that we resolve disagreements and differing views
constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of our
community comes from its diversity, people from a wide range of
backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues.
Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean
that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming
each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to
resolve issues and learning from mistakes.

## Definitions

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

- Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression,
sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality,
physical appearance, body size, race, age, regional discrimination,
political or religious affiliation
- Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and
practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs,
and employment
- Deliberate misgendering. This includes deadnaming or persistently
using a pronoun that does not correctly reflect a person’s gender
identity. You must address people by the name they give you when not
addressing them by their username or handle
- Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual
descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a
request to stop
- Threats of violence, both physical and psychological
- Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a
person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm
- Deliberate intimidation
- Stalking or following
- Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity
for harassment purposes
- Sustained disruption of discussion
- Unwelcome sexual attention, including gratuitous or off-topic sexual
images or behaviour
- Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming
inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
- Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease
- Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their
consent except as necessary to protect others from intentional abuse
- Publication of non-harassing private communication

### Diversity Statement

We encourage everyone to participate and are committed to building a
community for all. Although we will fail at times, we seek to treat
everyone both as fairly and equally as possible. Whenever a participant
has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for it. If
someone has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen
carefully and respectfully, and do our best to right the wrong.

Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity
in age, gender, gender identity or expression, culture, ethnicity,
language, national origin, political beliefs, profession, race,
religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and technical
ability. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any of the
protected characteristics above, including participants with
disabilities.

### Reporting Issues

If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior—or have any other
concerns—please report it by contacting us via
**opensource@stitchfix.com**. All reports will be
handled with discretion. In your report please include:

- Your contact information.
- Names (real, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If
there are additional witnesses, please include them as well. Your
account of what occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing.
If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive
or a public IRC logger), please include a link.
- Any additional information that may be helpful.

After filing a report, a representative will contact you personally,
review the incident, follow up with any additional questions, and make a
decision as to how to respond. If the person who is harassing you is
part of the response team, they will recuse themselves from handling
your incident. If the complaint originates from a member of the response
team, it will be handled by a different member of the response team. We
will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting
victims of abuse.
