Ensure that you comply with laws and policies that apply to you including IEEE policies and confidentiality agreements, and site or application policies. Do not discuss non-public, confidential or proprietary matters without prior permission or authority, including the categories of confidential information.</li> <li><strong>Attribute material that is not your own.</strong> Always provide a citation traceable to the origin, including the original link, when quoting someone else. When needed, properly attribute images to their sources. Use of photographs without appropriate licenses or permission is prohibited. Please note that all photographs are potentially subject to copyright. Use of an image obtained from a search engine or other source may violate the rights of the copyright owner and subject IEEE to liability. Never use copyrighted material without permission.</li> <li><strong>Be timely and accurate</strong>. Social media is fast moving and ever evolving. If you report about a particular subject matter—especially as it relates to IEEE business—ensure that your content is accurate and up-to-date. Stick to your areas of expertise. Responses in social media need to be thoughtful and timely. If a comment warrants a response, do not allow an excessive period to pass before providing a response. There should also be consistency on when content is posted--daily or weekly.</li> <li>IEEE requires that all social media entities associated with IEEE respect <a href="http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/IEEE_Publishing_Principles.pdf">IEEE’s principles of scholarly publishing</a> as applicable.</li> <li><strong>Do not spam or post unsolicited messages.</strong> Do not post inappropriate content, advertisements, promotions and/or solicitations for products and services to social media sites.</li> <li><strong>Ensure the objective of your social media site matches the content you are providing.</strong> Links should be in response to a specific query, except in cases where a site exists in part to promote or market an IEEE event, product, or service.

Multimedia used or captured should not contain any content that IEEE does not have the rights to use or that is not in the public domain [see section below on what to avoid].</li> <li><strong>Right of Publicity & Material, Talent, Minor Release Forms</strong>: Permission must be obtained from all individuals featured in imagery or videos. If a minor will be filmed or recorded, it is mandatory this permission be in writing from a parent or guardian.</li> <li><strong>Location Release / Permits</strong>: In addition to obtaining releases from individuals appearing in multimedia, written approval must be given from all applicable locations where filming occurs. Even when filming in a location wherein you have obtained permission, be cognizant and respectful of individuals in the area and their reasonable expectation of privacy.</li> <li><strong>Controlled Environment</strong>: Live multimedia capturing, whether it be audio, video, etc. has a significantly higher risk due to external variables / unintended scenarios. A controlled setting must be selected in order to limit these issues.

During live events where content is not as easily controlled (conference panels, live streams, etc.), it is necessary to have speakers identify that opinions are their own and not necessarily those of IEEE.</li> <li><strong>Unethical or Dishonorable Content</strong>: It is essential that IEEE multimedia does not contain any controversial, illegal, inappropriate, unethical, or dishonorable content. If this occurs during a live broadcast / event, the stream must be shut down immediately.</li> <li><strong>Scripts / Outline / Backup Plans</strong>: During live events, it is recommended to have a general flow that the event will follow. In addition, if unexpected issues occur (technological issues, connectivity, external circumstances, etc.) a backup plan should be in place prior to starting the event.</li> </ol> </li> <li><strong>Local Laws & Conferences / Events</strong>: <ol type="a"> <li><strong>Review Local Laws</strong>: It is essential to familiarize yourself with local laws of the areas you will be filming as they vary significantly in different states and countries.</li> <li><strong>Conference / Events</strong>: When filming / capturing content from any conference or event, it is essential to review the conference/event’s terms & conditions ahead of time as some events strictly prohibit the distribution of conference content, do not include media / right of publicity agreements, etc.</li> </ol> </li> <li><strong>Social Media Tagging Requirements</strong>: <ol type="a"> <li style="margin-bottom: 2em;">Although tagging public individuals or organizations from a brand page has become the norm among top brands, IEEE social media admins should receive written permission from private individuals you may wish to tag prior to including them in threads or distributing content that includes them on social pages.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 2em;"><strong>Linking Strategy: </strong>A link in social media should have text surrounding it rather than only placing a link into a social media post. Links should never say "Click Here", "Here", or the URL itself. Links are to be verified and tested prior to usage. Linking to a source requires the identification of the source and clearly indicating what is being talked about within the context. Linking to an author’s content requires the author to be fully cited along with the appropriate naming of their content. If you do not properly credit (i.e. cite) content or quotes it cannot be posted. For quotes, link directly to the source of the quote either immediately before or after the quote itself. The display text that houses the link should be either the name of the individual or the business you are quoting. Be sure you know the exact source when using a direct quote. If there is any question, do not use the content. <a href="https://brand-experience.ieee.org/guidelines/digital/">See IEEE Digital Governance for more information.</a></li> </ol> </li> </ol> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="vc_empty_space" style="height: 30px"><span class="vc_empty_space_inner"></span></div><div id="dataprotection" class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner row"><div class="section-side-dark-blue vc_column_container col-md-12"><div class="wpb_wrapper vc_column-inner"><h3 style="color: #0b5172" class="vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading wpb_custom_aa365bd5046e8294520b4e73732b9d15 align-left" ><strong>Data Protection</strong></h3> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_custom_7c91d232724f73626cc933bd95b25ff0" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p>IEEE social media compliance is driven through the respective social media platforms, e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
