SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

In today's digital age, social media serves as a dynamic platform for Gornal DC to connect with our community, share updates, and amplify our club's spirit. To harness its potential responsibly, we've established a social media policy that reflects our club's values and maintains the integrity of our brand.

1. Professionalism and Respect

Always use respectful and appropriate language in posts and interactions. Show respect towards fans, teammates, competitors, and the broader community.

2. Zero Tolerance for Cyberbullying

Gornal DC strictly prohibits any form of cyberbullying or harassment. Violations will result in disciplinary actions.

3. Confidentiality is Key

Refrain from disclosing confidential or sensitive information. This includes but is not limited to team strategies, personal data of players, staff, or supporters.

4. Protecting Our Reputation

Avoid content that could negatively impact the club’s reputation. Content that is racist, sexist, discriminatory, or otherwise controversial is strictly forbidden.

5. Honouring Sponsorships

Be mindful of sponsorship agreements. Ensure your posts do not conflict with or breach any existing agreements.

6. Official Announcements

Use official club channels for any formal announcements or statements to ensure accuracy and consistency in messaging.

7. Personal vs. Professional Use

We recommend maintaining separate personal and professional accounts to prevent any conflicts of interest and to safeguard the club's image.

8. Campaigns Require Approval

Prior to launching any social media campaigns, obtain approval from your manager or the club's social media team to align efforts with our overall strategy.

9. Reporting Inappropriate Activity

Report any questionable or inappropriate social media activity to your manager or the club’s social media team immediately.

Adherence to these guidelines will ensure that Gornal DC’s social media presence remains professional, engaging, and in harmony with our core values. Our collective responsibility in upholding these standards will contribute to a positive and respectful online community for our beloved club.
