Precautionary Safety Support

ODE.world is designed to support people in structuring and reflecting on decisions. It is not an emergency service, medical service, mental-health service, law-enforcement service or diagnostic system.

Certain language entered during the use of ODE.world may, depending on its context, indicate a possible immediate risk of serious harm to the user or another person.

ODE.world may therefore display a precautionary safety notice and provide direct access to emergency services, crisis helplines or other support resources.

This intervention is intended solely as a precautionary safety measure. The appearance of such a notice does not mean that ODE.world has determined that a user intends to harm themselves or another person, has diagnosed a mental-health condition, or has classified the user as dangerous.

Language can be ambiguous and automated systems can produce both false positive and false negative assessments.

Where possible, ODE.world applies data-minimisation principles and does not use a precautionary safety trigger to create a permanent psychological, criminal or behavioural risk profile.

ODE.world does not automatically contact emergency services, law-enforcement authorities, family members, employers, educational institutions or other third parties solely because a precautionary safety notice has been displayed, unless a different action is expressly required by applicable law and has been implemented for the relevant jurisdiction.

External emergency, helpline and support services are independent organisations. Their availability, confidentiality rules, opening times and services may vary by country and provider.

If you or another person are in immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service directly.
