Before your account is active

1. Your account

HydraATM is an environmental conservation initiative focused on intercepting plastic waste on land and in waterways before it reaches the ocean. By creating an account, you're joining a community of volunteers, partners, and supporters.

You're responsible for keeping your login details secure, whether you sign in with Google, Facebook, Apple, or email and password. Let us know right away if you think someone else has accessed your account.

2. Volunteering activities

• Volunteering — beach and riverside cleanups, sorting, storm-drain screening, tree planting, and similar — can involve outdoor physical activity, uneven terrain, and exposure to weather and debris.
• You confirm you're participating voluntarily and will follow the safety guidance given by on-site team leads.
• Anyone under 18 must have consent from a parent or guardian to take part in physical cleanup activities.

3. Partnerships & donations

Business partnership inquiries and volunteer sign-ups submitted through our linked forms are reviewed by our team before confirmation. Donations made via PayPal are processed by PayPal directly — HydraATM does not store your payment details.

4. How we use your information

Information you provide when registering — name, email, location, and how you'd like to get involved — is used to coordinate volunteering, partnerships, and occasional updates about HydraATM activities. We don't sell your information to third parties.

5. Communications

By registering, you may receive emails about upcoming cleanups, volunteering opportunities, and initiative updates. You can opt out of non-essential updates at any time.

6. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally as the initiative grows. Continued use of your account after changes means you accept the updated terms.
