The Office of the Chief of Staff (OCS) is the administrative arm of Bravo Fleet responsible for a wide variety of logistical activities in the fleet including awards, promotions, competitions, transfers, name changes, the mentorship program and overall management of the Bravo Fleet roster. The Office of the Chief of Staff is responsible for the timely execution of these duties as the primary facilitator of many facets of the fleet.

Below you will find the key policies that the office operates through, with more detailed policies linked throughout. Any questions regarding these policies should be directed at the current Chief of Staff.
== Privacy Policy ==
Bravo Fleet (“Service”, “We” or “Us”), the administrator of www.bravofleet.com, forums.bravofleet.com, wiki.bravofleet.com, academy.bravofleet.com and the Bravo Fleet Discord, collects and uses personal information solely for the purpose of providing an online collaborative writing environment. Where feasible, We collect personal information only with the knowledge and consent of the individual concerned (“Individual”), and, if the Individual notifies us that they wish to revoke their consent, We will make a best effort to remove all personal information related to the Individual from our Service.


= Policy =
This Privacy Policy, along with our Cookie Policy, Do Not Track Policy, and Your California Privacy Rights page, define in full how Bravo Fleet collects, manages and processes an Individual’s personal information.
== Section 1 - Awards & Promotions ==
* All promotion and award recommendations should be submitted through BFMS and include clear, concise language about what the member did and, if applicable, how they did it. Recommendations can include information about a person's personality and character but should provide factual information on the things that they have done.
* All medals and promotions should be known and directed through (up and down) the chain of command appropriately so each leader knows what is being requested and can avoid instances of denial due to double-dipping, or an award being recommended for the same thing within a short period. That is to say, Task Force staff preparing a medal or promotion should consult with Department Staff on any department work that a member may be doing, and equally any Department Staff looking to prepare a medal or promotion for a member of their staff should consult with the member's Task Force staff about possibly including their regular activity. Another example would be a TGCO should consult with their TFCO about a member they're looking to award.
* All awards and promotions should come directly from the source of which they’re being awarded. For instance, a merit award for work in the Intelligence Office should come from the Intelligence Officer. A merit award for the general activity should come from TF staff. If there is a grouping from different sources to complete an award or promotion recommendation, then there should be only one primary recommendation (usually from the TF staff) and as many supplemental recommendations as needed. If you think you may want to group up activities in different areas of Bravo Fleet for an award or promotion, "reach out" to other leaders to have them add in!
* Awards and promotions, once granted, can only be revoked by the Magistrate’s Office. This does not apply to obvious administrative or technical errors, which can be administratively (rather than judicially) removed by the Office of the Chief of Staff.
* When in doubt, ask.


=== Awards ===
=== What information is collected? ===
* Awards are split into two categories: merit and activity.
“Required Member Information”: When an Individual signs up for the Service (becoming a “Member”), We collect the Member’s name, age, email address, language, location and/or timezone.
** Activity awards (ribbons) are given out, usually within their respective departments, for completing activities within Bravo Fleet.
** Merit awards are awards that recognize a member’s overall activity and contribution to the fleet and are typically given for the accumulation of activities either through activity ribbons, project work, leadership, or any other metric that can be tangibly tracked. Merit awards are further broken down into two categories:
*** Recognition Awards (Tier 1) — typically awarded for more standard activity.
*** Distinction Awards (Tier 2) — typically awarded for levels of activity and work for the fleet that go above and beyond.
* Awards cannot double-dip activity within their respective category. Any activity, once recognized by an award, cannot be used toward future medals. For activity ribbons this is self-explanatory in that once an activity is awarded for, it cannot be awarded again. For merit awards, this is more prone to happen if a person writing a rec doesn’t read through previous merit awards to see what has already been awarded for. This, however, does not always apply to promotions, which tend to be focused on the total of accomplishments since a member’s last promotion. There has been confusion around these subjects, so example situations are listed below to provide further clarification:
**A member receives a Silver Palm for participation in a large-scale Task Force event. Four months later, that same member is recommended for a Star Cross for activity in the intervening period, as well as the participation in the large-scale Task Force event. That Star Cross will be rejected.
**Continuing from the above, if that member is instead recommended for a promotion (and assuming all guidelines and requirements are met), that would be acceptable.
**If a member is promoted appropriately (assuming all guidelines and requirements are met) for work only internal to their Task Force, and then is recommended for a recognition award for the completion of several projects for a Department — that award is appropriate.
**If a Task Force Commanding Officer is promoted for their long-term work for their task force to an admiralty rank, and then is recommended for a recognition award for work internal to the task force one month later, that medal will be rejected.
* All awards have a minimum position requirement for the nominator, but that isn’t the only award they can nominate for. For instance, the Star Cross must be nominated by at least a TFCO, but anyone above a TFCO can also nominate someone for it. Alternatively, if you are below TFCO and want to nominate someone for a Star Cross, talk to your TFCO!


=== Promotions ===
“Optional Member Information”: We allow a Member, at their discretion, to provide a website, profile picture, biography, interests, occupation, title and/or additional contact information.
* Unlike awards, promotions are more a sum of the actions of a member since their last promotion. A promotion should include all of their activity, awards, and projects they’ve completed, and this activity should be reasonably recent.
* Once promoted, all activity in the previous rank is “consumed” and cannot be used again for any promotion or medal. This, however, does not necessarily apply for department work or projects that may be long-term and overlap through promotions as long as that work is not mentioned and used in a previous promotion.
* Promotions between ranks have time-in-rank requirements. These requirements are not absolute, and there may be extreme circumstances where it may be waived in the case of senior officer promotions, but this is highly unlikely, and the standard(s) of activity are significantly higher for rapid promotions.


== Section 2 - Transfers ==
“Access Logs”: When an Individual visits the Service, We collect incidental personal information in the Service’s logs including the Individual’s IP address and user agent.


=== Transfer among Task Forces ===
=== How is information collected? ===
* Transfer requests are not a forum for argument or discussion. Problems with unit superiors should be addressed directly between the relevant members.
Required Member Information and Optional Member Information are collected with an Individual’s consent when the Individual signs up for the Service or edits their account within the Service. In order to participate in the Service, a Member must provide all Required Member Information. A Member may provide a pseudonym instead of their real name, if they do not wish to disclose their real name.
* Transfers between task forces may be held until such time that the OCS is satisfied with the reasons for the transfer.
* The direct recruitment of members from one unit to another with promises of medals, promotions, or other entitlements is forbidden and may result in disciplinary action. This does not include application periods for positions open to all of Bravo Fleet.
* Reserve hopping, wherein a member transfers to Reserve status before transferring to a new task force is forbidden and may result in disciplinary action when discovered.
* Members accepting leadership positions in units to which they do not currently belong should first request a transfer to the appropriate unit with confirmation of the appointment given as reason.


=== AWOL ===
Access Logs are collected by our web server and web application when an Individual uses the Service.


* When a member has not logged into the BFMS for 60 days they will be considered absent without leave (AWOL) and transferred to the BF reserve list.
=== Why is information collected? ===
* It will be the Task Force Staff’s responsibility to check the member’s page and contact each member who has not logged in during this time period (TF Staff can do this at 53 days of no login from a member).
Required Member Information is collected in order to allow a Member to participate in the Service. A Member’s name, email address, language, location and timezone may be listed on their profile. A Member’s email address will also be used to contact the Member on topics directly related to the Service. A Member’s age is only used to confirm the Member meets the legal requirements to participate in this Service.
* Members will then have 7 days to login before TF Staff are given the option to start the transfer process. If members do login, they will not show up.
* If members do not login after the 7 days, TF Staff will see an option to transfer them to the reserves.
* The Chief of Staff will review the transfer request and most likely approve the transfer to reserves.


== Section 3 - Competitions ==
Optional Member Information is collected in order to allow a Member to share more details about themselves to other Members of the Service.
* To avoid timing conflicts, members wishing to organize a competition must get approval from their unit leaders. All competitions must be approved by the OCS staff through administration on BFMS.
* All competitions must have clearly defined guidelines on how they will be judged.
* All competitions must have a decent and detailed description that would aid in encouraging players to enter the competition. This may include references to the theme of the event or storyline the competition may be linked to. Competition creators/organizers should seek clarity or help from the OCS staff to ensure the level of description is adequate enough. ''Please see the [[OCS Guide: Competition Creation]].'' 
* Competitions should run for a minimum of 10 days. Only during special events will this be waived.
* Competitions in Bravo Fleet are tiered based on their target audience, with the placement awards shifting in each situation. These are:
** Bravo Fleet-wide Fleet Action Events:
*** Starfleet Gold Star
*** Starfleet Silver Star
*** Starfleet Bronze Star
** Bravo Fleet-wide organized by a member(s) of the Bravo Fleet Senior Staff:
*** First Place: Action Medal with Galaxy Cluster
*** Second Place: Action Medal with Star Cluster
*** Third Place: Action Medal with Planet Cluster
** Bravo Fleet-wide organized by a member(s) of Bravo Fleet Command:
*** First Place: Action Medal with Star Cluster
*** Second Place: Action Medal with Planet Cluster
*** Third Place: Action Medal with Moon Cluster
** Bravo Fleet-wide organized by a Bravo Fleet member(s):
*** First Place: Action Medal with Planet Cluster
*** Second Place: Action Medal with Moon Cluster
*** Third Place: Action Medal with Comet Cluster
* A Fleet Action is a club-wide event consisting of several smaller events in phases. These smaller events fit into an overall storyline impacting multiple facets of Bravo Fleet canon. Fleet Actions are run by the Bravo Fleet Senior Staff at the direction of the BFCO and BFXO, and directly influence the direction of Bravo Fleet canon via the Intelligence Officer.
* All competitions are expected to be judged and closed within thirty (30) days of the end date. Competitions still open after this time will result in a warning email to the organizers.
** The BFMS will automatically prevent further submissions to a competition past its closing date.
** After 45 days, the OCS will take over judging the competition. At this point, an AWOL competition organizer may have their privileges to run competitions suspended by the OCS office.
* Competitions with valid participation are expected to place action medals accordingly, but there are always situations where no submission has met the subjective criteria for placement. Should this situation arise, the OCS must be notified of the situation and provided with the competition runner’s reasoning.
** Subjectively graded competitions (including but not limited to: fiction, graphics, poetry, caption contests, and other forms of creative activities) should not have ties when finalized, as there is always a method of discerning appropriate placements.
** Any competition that is likely to end in multiple ties should have clearly defined guidelines of how ties will be delineated so that there will only be one first, second, and third place finisher.
* Competition organizers and co-organizers are ineligible for placement in their competitions.


== Section 4 - Names & Usernames ==
Access Logs are collected for diagnosing technical problems with our Service. In rare situations, We may also use Access Logs to ban an Individual found to be acting inappropriately with the Service, including, but not limited to, violating the rules of the Service, placing an undue burden on the Service or violating applicable laws (“Inappropriate Use”).
* Names of canon Star Trek characters are generally prohibited. If you are unsure if your character's name is in question, contact the OCS to work with you.
* Offensive names — while there is no formal list of names that are considered offensive, the Office of the Chief of Staff reserves the right to review potential or actually offensive names.


== Section 5 - Dossier Deletion ==
=== With whom is information shared? ===
* Any member who wishes to leave Bravo Fleet in totality may do so by requesting their dossier be deleted by the OCS. Once a dossier is deleted it is done so in full and not retrievable.
A Member’s name, email address, language, location, timezone and Optional Member Information are shared with other Members of the Service through the Member’s user profile.
* Any awards, promotions, or recognitions that were on a dossier that has been deleted are not transferable to a new dossier created by the same member.
* Clear and obvious incidents of accidental cloning (e.g.: signing up twice in a row) can be resolved by the Chief of Staff by merging accounts, with permission from the BFCO or Magistrate.


== Section 6 - Mentorship Program ==
Access Logs are generally not shared, although they may in rare circumstances be shared with Bravo Fleet or our Host to diagnose technical problems or when an Individual is reasonably believed to have committed Inappropriate Use of the Service.


* Click [[Mentorship Program|here]] for the policy regarding Bravo Fleet's Mentorship Program.
The Service or the Host may share personal information with relevant law enforcement authorities as required to comply with applicable laws. The Service will notify the Individual, if permitted by applicable laws, when this occurs.


== Section 7 - Other ==
The Service will not share any personal information with any other parties without the Individual’s consent.
* No ranks, medals, or awards from any other Star Trek club are transferable to Bravo Fleet.

Required Member Information is collected in order to allow a Member to participate in the Service. A Member’s name, email address, language, location and timezone may be listed on their profile. A Member’s email address will also be used to contact the Member on topics directly related to the Service. A Member’s age is only used to confirm the Member meets the legal requirements to participate in this Service.

Optional Member Information is collected in order to allow a Member to share more details about themselves to other Members of the Service.

Access Logs are collected for diagnosing technical problems with our Service. In rare situations, We may also use Access Logs to ban an Individual found to be acting inappropriately with the Service, including, but not limited to, violating the rules of the Service, placing an undue burden on the Service or violating applicable laws (“Inappropriate Use”).

With whom is information shared?

A Member’s name, email address, language, location, timezone and Optional Member Information are shared with other Members of the Service through the Member’s user profile.

Access Logs are generally not shared, although they may in rare circumstances be shared with Bravo Fleet or our Host to diagnose technical problems or when an Individual is reasonably believed to have committed Inappropriate Use of the Service.

The Service or the Host may share personal information with relevant law enforcement authorities as required to comply with applicable laws. The Service will notify the Individual, if permitted by applicable laws, when this occurs.

The Service will not share any personal information with any other parties without the Individual’s consent.

How is information protected?

We protect all personal information using reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. We are committed to managing the Service in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

Upon request from an Individual, we will make readily available information about our practices and policies relating to the management of personal data.

How long is information retained?

Required Member Information and Optional Member Information is retained as long as the Individual remains a Member of the Service.

Access Logs may be retained for diagnostic purposes beyond the time an Individual remains a Member of the Service, unless the Individual contacts Us to remove this information.

How can information be removed?

A Member may submit a request to [[1]] to have their account deleted and all Required Member Information and Optional Member Information removed from the Service. This will cause them to no longer be a Member.

An Individual may submit a request to [[2]] to have all information in the Access Logs removed.
