INTERNAL POLICY
SOCIAL MEDIA
POLICY TEMPLATE
FOR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
INTERNAL POLICY
PURPOSE
This document defines the social networking and social media policy for [Agency's
Name], the “Agency.” To address the fast-changing landscape of the internet and the
way residents communicate and obtain information online, agency departments
may consider using social media tools to reach a broader audience. The agency
encourages the use of social media to further the goals of the agency and the
missions of its departments, where appropriate.

INTERNAL POLICY
PERSONAL VS. PROFESSIONAL GUIDELINES
Personal Use
All Agency employees may have personal social media sites. These sites should
remain personal in nature and share personal opinions. While Agency employees
may have a First Amendment right to comment on some Agency issues that are
of significant public concern, employees should know that posts about Agency
issues that are closer to employment complaints or human resources concerns
may not be protected. Employees should be mindful of the distinction between
sharing personal and agency views.
Agency employees must never use their agency e-mail account or password in
conjunction with a personal social media site. The following guidance is for agency
employees who decide to have a personal social media or who decide to comment
on posts about official Agency business:
■ State your name and, if relevant, role, when discussing agency business;
■ Use a disclaimer such as: “The postings on this site are my own and don’t reflect
or represent the opinions of the agency for which I work.”
If social media is used for official agency business, the entire agency site, regardless
of any personal views, is subject to best practice guidelines and standards.

ArchiveSocial.com (888) 558-6032 Info@ArchiveSocial.com Page 20 of 28
Professional Use
INTERNAL POLICY
All official agency-related communication through social media should remain
professional in nature and should always be conducted in accordance with the
Agency’s communications policy, practices and expectations. Employees must
not use official agency social media for political purposes, to conduct private
commercial transactions, or to engage in private business activities. Agency
employees should be mindful that inappropriate use of official agency social
media can be grounds for disciplinary action.
Only individuals authorized by the Agency may publish content to the Agency’s
online platforms.
POSTING
Official social media sites need to be clear, precise and follow industry best
practices for posting updates. All content posted to agency social media should
be:
■ Relevant – Information that engages residents and pertains to their daily lives
■ Timely – Pertains to deadlines, upcoming events, or current news
■ Actionable – Prompts residents to take action
Please refer to the agency style guide for specific guidelines on content format.
What Not to Post:
Agency employees may not publish content on agency social media sites that
includes:
■ Confidential information
■ Copyrighted material without permission
■ Profane, racist, sexist, threatening or derogatory content or comments
■ Partisan political views
■ Commercial endorsements or SPAM

INTERNAL POLICY
RETENTION
Social media sites are subject to [applicable public records laws]. Any content
produced or maintained on an agency social media site, including communication
posted by the agency and communication received from citizens, is a public
record.
The department maintaining a site shall preserve records pursuant to the relevant
records retention schedule in a format that preserves the integrity of the original
record and is easily producible. Furthermore, retention of social media records
shall fulfill the following requirements:
■ Social media records are captured in a continuous, automated fashion
throughout the day to minimize a potential loss of data due to deletion and/
or changes on the social networking site.
■ Social media records are maintained in an authentic format (i.e. ideally the
native technical format provided by the social network, such as XML or JSON)
along with complete metadata.
■ Social media records are archived in a system that preserves the context of
communications, including conversation threads and rich media, to ensure
completeness and availability of relevant information when records are
accessed.
■ Social media records are indexed based on specific criteria such as date,
content type, and keywords to ensure that records can be quickly located
and produced in an appropriate format for distribution (e.g. PDF).
■ Each employee who administers one or more social networking sites on
behalf of the Agency has self-service, read-only access to search and produce
relevant social media records to fulfill public information and legal discovery
requests as needed.
The Agency utilizes an automated archiving solution called ArchiveSocial,
provided by CivicPlus® to comply with applicable public records law and fulfill
the above record retention requirements. The Agency archive is available at
[applicable archive link], or contact your records coordinator.
