Youth policy baseline
Youth Safety Rules
These are the rules that protect students on StudentRecruit. They are written for students first, because students should be able to read the rules that are protecting them.
Version 2026.1 · Effective 2026-08-01 · privacy@studentrecruit.demo
Connecting Students to Opportunities.
StudentRecruit™, StudentRecruit Virtual Intern™, StudentRecruit Mentor Champions™, StudentRecruit Central™, StudentRecruit Previewz™, StudentRecruit Jobz™, StudentRecruit Assessments™, and related marks are trademarks of their respective owner.
At a glance
- No adult can privately message you without an adult from your school or program being able to see it.
- You are never public. Nothing about you is visible outside your organization unless you turned it on.
- You can block someone, and you can report anything, at any time, and nobody has to be told you did.
- If something feels wrong, it is enough of a reason to report it. You do not need proof.
Plain-language summaries are provided to help you read the policy. The full sections below are the policy itself.
How adults may contact you
Contact happens through structured formats where a staff member from your school or program can see what is going on.
- Mentor sessions are requested, reviewed by staff, and logged with notes.
- Video sessions have a lobby, a monitor role, and a record that the session happened.
- Employer and college contact goes through your organization, not to your personal accounts.
- There is no direct-message inbox where an adult can talk to a minor privately.
Things an adult should never ask you
If any of these happen, report it. That is what the Safety Center is for.
- Your home address, your personal phone number or your personal social media.
- To keep a conversation secret from your parent, guardian or school.
- To meet in person without your organization arranging it.
- For photos or video of you that are not part of your portfolio work.
- For money, gift cards, or anything of value.
Reporting and blocking
Reporting sends a note to your organization's safety contacts. Blocking stops a person from requesting contact with you.
- Report from the Safety Center, from a session, or from any mentor or employer profile.
- You can report on behalf of a friend.
- Blocking is immediate and does not send the person a message.
- Serious reports are escalated to the organization's designated safety staff.
Your media and your video
Your uploads start private. You decide who sees them, one audience at a time.
- Media is reviewed before it can be shared with an audience outside your organization.
- Practice interview recordings are yours; nobody else sees them unless you share them.
- Video sessions are not recorded unless every participant, and a guardian where required, agreed in advance.
- You can take a share back at any time.
Athletics and recruiting
Athletic recruiting is a separate switch, because it exposes different information to different adults.
- Coach-verified stats are only visible to college athletics staff when athletics visibility is on.
- Recruiting contact follows your organization's rules and any applicable recruiting calendar restrictions.
- Turning athletics visibility off does not remove your record; it only stops recruiters from seeing it.
For parents, guardians and staff
Adults responsible for a student can see the consent state, the sharing state and the contact history.
- Guardians can review and withdraw consent scope by scope.
- Counselors and administrators see the safety queue for their own tenant only.
- Every verification, visibility change and contact request is written to the audit trail.

Written so your counsel can review it
These documents are structured for a FERPA and COPPA review by a school district, Job Corps center, nonprofit, workforce agency, college or employer network. StudentRecruit does not claim automatic compliance, certification, or an approved status with any regulator. Your organization decides whether this architecture meets its obligations, and your agreement with StudentRecruit governs your organization's workspace.
