FMA Policy Overview

​

The Find Me Alive (FMA) Policy site provides a comprehensive and transparent framework for how the organization operates, safeguards its community, and delivers on its mission. These policies are designed not only to protect users and employees but also to uphold the integrity of the brand and ensure that all activities are conducted with professionalism, respect, and accountability.

​

1. Privacy and Data Protection

FMA places the highest priority on the privacy and security of personal information. The policy outlines how data is:

• Collected: Only the minimum necessary information is requested to provide services effectively.

• Stored: All records are maintained using secure, encrypted systems with restricted access.

• Shared: Information is disclosed only with proper consent or when required by law, particularly in sensitive cases involving missing persons.

By adhering to these practices, FMA ensures that individuals’ personal and confidential information is never misused or exposed.

​

2. Terms of Service & Acceptable Use

The terms of service clearly define the responsibilities of users, employees, and partners. These include:

• Prohibiting misuse of FMA platforms for unlawful or harmful purposes.

• Ensuring respectful communication and interactions across all forums and services.

• Outlining consequences for violations, including suspension of services or termination of partnerships.

This framework protects the integrity of the FMA community and maintains trust between all parties.

​

3. Branding and Content Guidelines

To preserve a strong and consistent brand identity, FMA provides clear standards for the use of its name, logo, and materials. These guidelines cover:

• Proper visual representation of the FMA brand in marketing and outreach.

• Restrictions on unauthorized use of FMA intellectual property.

• Content standards for partners and affiliates to ensure alignment with FMA’s mission and values.

Through these measures, FMA protects its reputation and strengthens recognition across communities.

​

4. Confidentiality Standards

Given the sensitive nature of missing-person cases and personal information, confidentiality is central to FMA’s operations. The policy includes:

• Non-disclosure requirements for employees, contractors, and volunteers.

• Secure handling of sensitive case files and victim-related data.

• Clear escalation procedures when confidentiality may need to be legally breached for safety or compliance reasons.

These safeguards promote trust with families, partners, and the public.

​

5. Volunteer and Revenue-Sharing Commitments

FMA emphasizes a culture of shared responsibility and community support. Policies in this area outline:

• The requirement for employees and affiliates to contribute volunteer hours annually, reinforcing FMA’s community-first values.

• Revenue-sharing models that reward eligible participants who uphold FMA’s standards and actively support its mission.

• Transparent rules ensuring fairness and accountability in all financial and community benefit programs.

This ensures that FMA remains both mission-driven and sustainable.

​

6. Sensitive Information & Missing-Person Protocols

Because FMA’s work often intersects with high-stakes, emotional cases, the site establishes strict rules for:

• Handling missing-person reports with urgency, discretion, and sensitivity.

• Collaborating with law enforcement, families, and verified partners in a manner that respects privacy while maximizing effectiveness.

• Offering clear points of contact and step-by-step guidance for reporting and managing such cases.

These policies provide families and communities with confidence that their concerns will be treated with care and professionalism.

​

7. Respectful Communication & Community Standards

FMA commits to fostering a culture of respect across all interactions. This includes:

• Zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior in any form.

• Professional, compassionate communication when supporting families, working with partners, or engaging with the public.

• Encouraging inclusivity and empathy, ensuring that every voice is valued and every person is treated with dignity.

By promoting respectful communication, FMA strengthens its community, builds trust, and ensures that its mission is carried out in an environment of collaboration and care.

​
