ADDENDUM FOR MINORS

The Transatlantic Outreach Program (TOP) will make every attempt to not record or save any content involving minors. "Minors" are defined as those attendees, such as school students, under the age of 18 on the date of the event. Such "content" includes their likeness as defined by video or still imagery, their voice through audio, or any other identifying information, including but not limited to chat and other textual transcripts. For Zoom events in which minor attendees are anticipated, TOP disables the video and audio of attendees not classified as "hosts" or "panelists". Private/direct text messaging as well as custom backgrounds and renaming is also disabled.

All registration information of any/all known "minor" attendees will be discarded after the conclusion of the event.
