POLICY
Overview
TRACKITA PTY LTD SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Social media is a significant part of modern professional life, and Trackita supports its use for networking and business growth. However, online activities can reflect on both Trackita and our clients. This policy outlines how to use social media responsibly, including a requirement for consultants to represent both Trackita and the client in a consistent, professional manner—unless the client’s own policy disallows such representation.
1. Policy Scope & Nature
- Application: This policy applies to your social media use, whether during or outside work hours, and regardless of whether you are using personal or company devices.
- Non-Contractual: The guidelines set forth here do not form part of your employment contract. Trackita reserves the right to alter or rescind this policy at any time.
- Client Policies: Where there is a conflict, the client’s policies or confidentiality agreements take precedence over Trackita’s policy.
2. Social Media Rules
2.1 Required LinkedIn Representation
- Listing Trackita
- All consultants must identify themselves on LinkedIn as working at/with Trackita for the duration of their engagement.
- Listing the Client
- If you are contracted to a specific client through Trackita, you must also indicate your current client engagement on LinkedIn, if permissible under the client’s own policies.
- Client Policies Override: Should the client’s policy or agreement disallow public disclosure of your engagement, follow the client’s directive rather than this policy.
2.2 No Unauthorized Company or Client Disclosures
- Refrain from posting about projects, internal processes, or any sensitive details related to Trackita or its clients unless you have explicit approval to do so.
2.3 No Official Representation Without Approval
- Unless authorized, do not publicly present yourself as speaking on behalf of Trackita or the client.
2.4 Professionalism & Respect
- Avoid Harmful Speech: Do not post disparaging or offensive content about Trackita, its clients, coworkers, or any related parties.
- Confidentiality: Never disclose proprietary, confidential, or commercially sensitive information.
2.5 Limited Personal Use During Work
- Posting, tweeting, or other personal social media activities should not interfere with work duties unless it is explicitly part of your role or you have prior management consent.
3. Compliance & Breach
- Disciplinary Action: Violations of this policy can result in disciplinary measures, including termination.
- Client Directives: If a client’s requirements conflict with Trackita’s guidelines, the client’s policy prevails. Non-compliance with client policies may also lead to disciplinary action.
