Facebook Social Media Policy:

Welcome to the Medina Township Facebook Page! Please click LIKE to follow us and stay up-to-date on what's happening in and around our beautiful community!

Our social media policies are ever-developing. Below are the current guidelines for use of this page, which are always subject to change:

1. Medina Township employees monitor this page, when possible, during DAYTIME hours on WEEKDAYS only, unless an emergency exists or we find it necessary to interact with our followers after hours. Monitoring is done intermittently and is not continuous during every moment of the day. If a problem arises on the page, one of our admins will correct it as soon as possible, during business hours.

2. Please contact our staff and/or trustees directly if you have an inquiry or concern. This page is NOT intended to be a direct contact method between our officials and our residents. In other words, if you have a question or concern, call or email us! All department contact information is located on our website:

2. Keep in mind that all comments and interactions that occur on, or in connection with, the Medina Township Facebook page are considered to be public record, including deleted/hidden comments and interactions. Most web-based social media records can be obtained by simply visiting this page to view the record. Please note that it would be physically impossible for Medina Township to separately archive every single interaction that occurs on Facebook or the internet. In case of the need for extensive records, deleted comments, or more complicated social media records requests, the entity requesting the records must contact the social media platform itself in accordance with that specific platform's user agreement and records request policies. Contact Facebook directly for any in-depth Facebook records requests. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, frequently change their methods of archiving, storing, or deleting content, and Medina Township has no power over the changes administered by Facebook directly.

3. Inappropriate conduct on our page will be not tolerated, and is subject to the reporting process as outlined in the Facebook user agreement, and further action if needed. The admins on this page, including current trustees and staff, have the authority to determine if any conduct is inappropriate for our audience, and reserves the right to hide or delete content that is deemed inappropriate for this page. This policy applies to both employees AND Facebook users who interact on the Medina Township Facebook page. Inappropriate conduct and/or content includes, but is not limited to:

• Confidential Information
• Copyrighted Information
• Sensitive Information
• Vulgar Content
• Sexual Content
• Violent Content
• Encouragement of illegal acts
• Promotion of particular products/services
• Targeted, Disparaging Content aimed at any ethnic, racial, or religious group
• Political campaigning or campaign views
• Spam/Irrelevant content/clearly off-topic content
• Opinion pieces

Please Note: The comments expressed on this page do not reflect the official opinions, positions, or views of Medina Township government or its officials in any way.

Let's work together to interact in a kind, respectful way and enjoy our township! We appreciate our residents and we're always here to help.

Respectfully,
-Medina Township FB Admins-
