1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or otherwise using TheBlueprint ("the platform," "we," "us"), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the platform.

2. Who Can Use TheBlueprint

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If you're under 18, you should have a parent or guardian's permission to use TheBlueprint. We do not knowingly allow use by anyone under 16.

3. What TheBlueprint Is (and Isn't, Yet)

TheBlueprint is a mentorship platform connecting young people ("The Future") with mentors ("Sherpas"), alongside self-guided learning topics, community resources, and progress tracking. Some features — including real mentor matching — are still in development and marked "Coming Soon" where that's the case. We don't guarantee any feature's availability or launch timeline.

4. Your Account

• Keep your login credentials confidential — you're responsible for activity on your account.
• One account per person. Don't impersonate someone else or create an account on someone else's behalf without permission.
• Give accurate information when you register.

5. Community Standards

Use of TheBlueprint is also governed by our in-app Community Code of Conduct, which you're asked to accept when you join. In short: no harassment, hate speech, threats, explicit content, or targeted misinformation. Mentors hold a position of trust and are expected to keep interactions professional, transparent, and reportable — not to solicit private contact info outside the platform. We may warn, mediate, suspend, or permanently terminate accounts that violate these standards, and severe safety violations (including anything implicating child-protection law) result in immediate termination without appeal.

6. Mentor–Mentee Relationships

TheBlueprint facilitates introductions between mentors and mentees. We are not a party to the relationship that forms afterward and don't supervise, background-check beyond whatever vetting we describe elsewhere, or guarantee the conduct of any user. If you ever feel unsafe, witness a concerning interaction, or something a mentor or mentee shares raises a mandatory-reporting concern (self-harm, abuse, neglect, danger), contact us immediately at [email protected] — and a trusted adult or local emergency services first, if there's immediate danger.

7. Reflections & AI-Generated Feedback

Lessons ask you to write short reflections. These may be shared with your connected mentor, and are sent to a third-party AI service to generate automated feedback and a rough "grade." That feedback is a learning tool, not professional, medical, legal, or financial advice, and isn't reviewed by a human before it reaches you.

8. Third-Party Content

Some lessons and profile cards embed third-party content — YouTube videos, Spotify playlists, and (for some topics) a Formbricks survey. That content is provided by those services directly, governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and outside our control.

9. Intellectual Property

TheBlueprint's original content — lesson text, branding, design, and platform code — belongs to TheBlueprint. You keep ownership of what you personally write or upload (reflections, bio, photos), but by posting it you give us a license to display it as needed to run the platform — for example, showing your mentor card to mentees, or your reflection to your connected mentor.

10. Termination

You can stop using TheBlueprint and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these terms or the Code of Conduct, with or without notice depending on severity.

11. Disclaimers

TheBlueprint is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that using it will lead to any particular outcome, including being matched with or connecting with a mentor.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, TheBlueprint and its operators aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, including anything arising from a mentor–mentee interaction that takes place outside platform tools.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the platform changes. We'll update the date at the top when we do; continuing to use TheBlueprint after a change means you accept the update.

1. Who We Are

TheBlueprint ("we," "us") operates this mentorship platform for young people. Questions about this policy or your data: [email protected]

2. Who Can Use TheBlueprint

TheBlueprint is intended for users 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

3. Information We Collect

• Account information: name, optional nickname, email address, role (mentee or mentor), grade level, and area of interest. Your password is handled entirely by our authentication provider, Supabase — we never see or store it in plain text.
• Profile / mentor card information you choose to add: profile photo, banner image, accent color, bio, school or employer "stickers," social media links, and a personal playlist link.
• Reflections: the short "before" and "after" writing you submit on lessons. These are visible to your connected mentor and are sent to a third-party AI service (Anthropic) to generate automated feedback.
• Mentor connections: a record is created when you connect with a mentor, which may trigger an in-app notification and, if configured, an email to that mentor sent through our email provider, Resend.
• Mentor-interest submissions: if you express interest in becoming a mentor before that program is fully open, we collect your name, email, and stated interest area. Only platform administrators can view this list.
• Survey responses: some topics include an embedded Formbricks survey. If you complete it, your answers are collected by Formbricks under its own privacy policy — we only receive a signal that you finished it, not your individual answers.
• Progress and activity data: completed topics, reflection streaks, achievement points and badges.
• Community content: anything you post in community areas of the platform, which other users can see.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To operate core features: accounts, mentor matching, progress tracking, and notifications.
• To generate AI feedback on your reflections.
• To send platform emails (e.g., notifying a mentor when someone connects with them).
• To understand engagement and improve the platform.

5. Third-Party Services We Use

• Supabase — authentication and database hosting.
• Anthropic — generates AI feedback on reflections.
• Resend — delivers transactional emails.
• YouTube & Spotify — embedded videos and playlists; loaded directly from those services and subject to their own privacy practices, including any cookies they set.
• Formbricks — powers an embedded survey on some topics, per its own privacy policy.

6. Who Can See Your Information

• A mentor you've connected with can see your reflections and profile.
• If you're a mentor, your public mentor card is visible to mentees browsing the platform.
• Platform administrators can see mentor-interest waitlist submissions, for the purpose of reviewing and reaching out about the mentor program.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

7. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored via Supabase, with a local copy also kept in your browser's storage so the app stays usable if a save doesn't immediately reach our servers. We use reasonable technical safeguards to protect your information, but no system is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices

You can update or remove most of your profile information at any time from within the app. To request a copy of your data or full account deletion, email [email protected].

9. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the "last updated" date above.
