# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

## Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic
status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or
sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

## Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
community include:

- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
  and learning from the experience
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
  overall community

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances
  of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political
  attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
  address, without their explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
  professional setting

## Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards
of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action
in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
reject comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions that are not
aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.

## Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies
when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.

## Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the maintainer (@backed-by-data) privately — GitHub's private
vulnerability reporting on this repository reaches the same inbox and works
for conduct reports you'd rather not make in public. All complaints will be
reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.

All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of
the reporter of any incident.

## Enforcement Guidelines

Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in
determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this
Code of Conduct:

1. **Correction** — a private, written warning, with clarity around the
   nature of the violation and why the behavior was inappropriate.
2. **Warning** — a warning with consequences for continued behavior,
   including limited interaction with the people involved for a specified
   period.
3. **Temporary Ban** — a temporary ban from any sort of interaction or
   public communication with the community for a specified period.
4. **Permanent Ban** — a permanent ban from any sort of public interaction
   within the community.
