Social Media Disclaimer
The Drone4Build project engages with the community through certain social media platforms, specifically LinkedIn. This section explains our presence on social media and provides important disclaimers about data privacy and responsibility.
This section explains our presence on social media and provides important disclaimers about data privacy and responsibility when you interact with us on those platforms or encounter social media content via our website.
Project Presence on LinkedIn
Drone4Build maintains an official project page on LinkedIn. The purpose is to share updates, results, and networking opportunities related to the project, in line with Erasmus+ dissemination guidelines. Your participation on that platform is completely voluntary. When you follow, like, comment on, or share our LinkedIn posts, you are doing so on the LinkedIn platform, which has its own terms of service and privacy policy. We do not have full control over LinkedIn's data processing.
Data Privacy on LinkedIn
If you have a LinkedIn account and you interact with our page, LinkedIn may process your personal data such as your profile information, your network of connections, and your interactions. We do not export personal data of individual followers from LinkedIn. We can see aggregated insights that LinkedIn provides and we can see your public profile if you comment or send us a message. Any information you share on LinkedIn (including comments on our posts) can be seen by other LinkedIn users depending on your privacy settings.
LinkedIn's Data Collection
LinkedIn may use cookies, pixels, and other tracking to collect data about your browsing, including when you click a link to LinkedIn or visit a site with LinkedIn plugins. This processing is covered by LinkedIn's own privacy and cookie policies, not ours. We advise checking LinkedIn's Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy to understand what data they collect and for what purposes.
No Endorsement by EU
While we use LinkedIn to promote our project, it does not mean the European Commission or Erasmus+ formally endorses LinkedIn as a platform. We choose it as a popular professional network to reach our stakeholders.
Third-Party Platforms and Data Use
Beyond LinkedIn, if Drone4Build creates accounts on other social networks (like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.), similar principles apply.
Platform Policies Apply: Each platform has its terms. By using or interacting with our content on those platforms, you are subject to those terms. We encourage you to review their privacy settings and policies.
Data Sharing: Social media companies often share insights with page administrators. But the raw data (like who exactly saw it) is not provided to us. We may see your public profile if you interact.
Public Interactions: Remember that retweets, replies, public comments, etc., are generally visible to the world. Do not share personal data you wouldn't want public. We cannot control how others might use information you post on those platforms.
No Liability for Third-Party Platforms
The Drone4Build consortium is not responsible for the actions, content, or data policies of social media platforms such as LinkedIn or others. These are third-party services over which we have no control. We cannot be held liable for any privacy breaches or data usage that occur on these platforms. If you choose not to use social media, all critical information about our project will also be available on our website or through official reports.
Integration on Our Website
Our website itself may include social media elements (such as embedded videos from YouTube or posts from LinkedIn). Any such embedded elements can act as if you visited the third-party site directly. We typically design the site so that such third-party content is inactive until you interact, or we rely on your cookie consent settings.
Guidance for Users
Privacy Settings: Check your privacy settings on LinkedIn (and any other social network you use). Adjusting these can help protect your information.
Professional Conduct: Our social media pages are public and often associated with professional communities. Please engage respectfully. Any abusive or inappropriate comments on our pages may be removed.
Personal Messages: If you need to share personal information with the Drone4Build team, consider doing so through a private message or email rather than a public comment.
Third-Party Links on Social: Our social media posts may sometimes link to other websites. Similar to our web links disclaimer, we aren't liable for content on those external sites.
EU Regulations and Social Media
As part of an EU-funded project, we aim to uphold data protection principles even on social media. We follow the guidance by the European Commission on social media use by projects. However, any data you provide directly to a social media company is under their custody.
Final Disclaimer
Your interactions with Drone4Build on social media are appreciated, and they help disseminate our project's results. But please be aware that these interactions are also subject to the terms, conditions, and algorithms of those social networks. Neither Drone4Build nor any of its partner organizations will be held responsible for any misuse of data or content by social media providers or other third parties.
