Ambassador Guidelines & Support
Our Commitment to You
We want you to succeed as an ambassador, and that means setting clear expectations while giving you the support and flexibility to do this well. These guidelines exist to protect you, your institution, and the Recall community.
How We Work Together
Authentic Promotion
The best ambassadors are genuine advocates, not salespeople. Here’s what that looks like:
Do:
- Share your real experience with Recall
- Be transparent when you’re an ambassador (e.g., “I’m a Recall ambassador, happy to answer questions!”)
- Focus on helping peers solve problems, not hitting quotas
- Disclose your affiliate relationship when sharing referral links
Don’t:
- Spam group chats, forums, or email lists
- Make exaggerated claims about what Recall can do
- Pressure people to sign up
- Pose as an independent user when you’re promoting through official channels
If you’re unsure whether something crosses the line, ask us first. We’d rather help you navigate gray areas than have you second-guess yourself.
Respecting Your Institution
Your responsibilities:
- Follow your institution’s policies on commercial activities, promotions, and student organization guidelines
- If your school requires approval for ambassador/affiliate programs, let us know. We’ll provide documentation to help you get it
- Respect your professors’ classroom policies (e.g., don’t demo Recall mid-lecture unless invited)
Our support:
- We’ll provide a letter explaining the program for institutional review if needed
- If your school says no, we’ll work with you to find alternative ways to participate (e.g., content creation without campus promotion)
- You’re never penalized for institutional restrictions outside your control
Community Standards
Treat everyone with respect: peers, professors, Recall users, and non-users. This includes:
- Welcoming questions and criticism (not everyone will love Recall, and that’s okay)
- Being inclusive in workshops and content (accessible language, diverse examples)
- Protecting confidentiality when gathering feedback
- Never collecting personal data without explicit consent
Program Expectations
Staying Active
What counts as “active”:
- Hosting a workshop or demo
- Publishing social content or a tutorial
- Participating in a feedback session
- Representing Recall at an event
- Engaging regularly in the ambassador community
Life happens: Exams, research deadlines, personal issues. We get it. If you need a month off, just let us know. We’re flexible as long as you communicate.
Program Duration
Semester/annual cycles:
- Most ambassadors commit to one semester (3-6 months) initially
- At the end of each cycle, you’ll decide whether to renew, scale up/down, or transition out
- No automatic renewals. We’ll check in with you before each new term
Renewal criteria:
- Met minimum activity requirements (or communicated when you couldn’t)
- Followed community guidelines
- Mutual interest in continuing
Transitions & Next Steps
If You Leave Your Institution
You don’t lose everything. Ambassadors who graduate or move on can:
- Transition to Alumni Ambassador status with flexible requirements
- Continue earning affiliate commissions on referrals
- Stay connected to the founder network and community
- Mentor new ambassadors if interested
If You Need to Step Down
We only ask for 30 days’ notice if possible, so we can:
- Transition any active initiatives you’re managing
- Conduct a quick exit interview to learn from your experience
- Ensure you get credit for work in progress
No penalties, no burning bridges. People leave programs for all kinds of reasons. We’re just grateful for the time you contributed.
If Something Goes Wrong
Our Approach to Issues
We believe in education over punishment. If something goes sideways, here’s what happens:
First time: We’ll reach out to understand what happened and help you course-correct. Most issues are honest mistakes or miscommunications.
Ongoing concerns: If problems continue despite guidance, we’ll have a direct conversation about whether the program is still a good fit.
Serious violations: Only immediate removal happens in cases of:
- Intentional fraud or misrepresentation
- Harassment or discrimination
- Violating data privacy laws
- Ignoring repeated guidance after multiple warnings
You’ll always know where you stand. We won’t blindside you with sudden removal. We’ll communicate concerns clearly and give you a chance to address them.
Legal & Privacy Basics
Data Privacy
- Never collect personal information (emails, names, demographic data) without explicit consent
- If you’re gathering feedback through surveys, use our approved templates that include privacy notices
- Don’t share student/colleague information with Recall without permission
- All data handling must comply with GDPR (EU) and local privacy laws
We’ll provide: Privacy-compliant survey templates, guidance on consent, and review of any data collection plans.
Institutional Compliance
Your responsibility: Ensure this program complies with your institution’s policies. Some schools restrict commercial activities, require approval for student organization partnerships, or have rules about using campus spaces for promotions.
Our support:
- We’ll provide documentation explaining the program (official letters, FAQs, program structure)
- If your institution requires review, we’ll work with you through that process
- If you discover a conflict with school policy, let us know immediately. We’ll find a solution together
Not sure about your school’s rules? Start by checking with student affairs, your department, or your student organization advisor. We’re here to help you navigate this.
