This document presents a social media policy for Sunshine 100, a company specializing in responsible foods, as envisioned by Jane Wilson, the Director of Social Media. The policy emphasizes avoiding sensitive and controversial topics such as politics, racism, and religion, while promoting mutual respect among employees and consumers. It stresses the importance of maintaining data security and confidentiality by preventing the sharing of internal business strategies or passwords on public platforms, with strict penalties for data disclosure. The policy also highlights the need to avoid potential regulatory risks by adhering to copyright laws and company rules, and to steer clear of cybersecurity risks by protecting passwords, regularly updating software, and carefully handling phishing attacks and scams. Furthermore, it advocates for keeping personal profiles and activities separate from professional accounts to maintain a clear distinction between personal and company-related information.
