Information on use of the social media

The UdL only accepts liability for the contents and for the management of the websites of which it is the owner, or on which it has a right of a similar nature. Any other website or social media or repository of information on the Internet, apart from this website, is the liability of its owners and, therefore, once it is accessed, the user shall be subject to the policies that each service has established.
The UdL ordinarily uses different applications, social media and other virtual environments, and always recommends to all users that, before accessing these web environments, they should carefully read the corresponding legal notices and privacy policies, and that they should only access them once they have verified and accepted this legal text in its entirety.
The UdL undertakes to control the contents that are posted in these virtual environments, and shall prevent or block access to the account of the UdL by users who make an incorrect use of them.
For use of social media or browsing in web environments, the UdL recommends, following the instructions of the data protection authorities, the implementation of the following actions:

• All users are recommended to resort to the use of pseudonyms or personal nicks to operate on the Internet, allowing them to have a true “digital identity” which does not endanger the security of their personal and professional life.
• Users are recommended to take special care on posting audiovisual and graphic contents on their profiles, since in this case they may be jeopardizing the privacy and intimacy of people close to them.
• It is recommended to review and read, both prior to user registration and subsequently, the general conditions of use and the privacy policy that the platform makes available on its websites.
• It is recommended to adequately set up the degree of privacy of the user profile on the social media, in such a way that it is not completely public, but rather the information posted on the profile can only be accessed by those people who have previously been classified by the user as “friends” or “direct contacts”.
• It is recommended to accept as a contact only those people who are known or with whom some previous relationship exists; not to compulsively accept all contact requests which are received and to investigate, if appropriate, the identity of the person who requests contact.
• It is recommended not to post, on the user profile, physical contact information which allows any person to know where you live, work or study daily or the leisure facilities that you visit.
• Users of microblog tools are recommended to take special care in relation to posting information concerning the places where they are located at any given moment.
• It is recommended to use and post only contents for which you have the essential intellectual property rights. Otherwise, the user will be committing a civil wrong protected by the courts.
• Users are recommended to use different usernames and passwords to enter the different social media of which they are members.
• It is recommended to use passwords with a minimum length of 8 alphanumeric characters and with the use of capitals and lowercase letters.
• All users are recommended to have duly updated antivirus software installed on their hardware.
• Minors should not disclose excessive personal data. Data must never be provided to strangers.
• All of the information referring to the website must be read. This information sets out who the owners are and the purpose for which the data are requested.
• If the users are under fourteen years old, the consent of the parents or guardians is also necessary. The parents or guardians must especially be asked for their decision on the subscription whenever data are requested by social media.
• The username and password must not be communicated to third parties, and these data must not be shared with friends or classmates. These data are private and must not be communicated to third parties and/or strangers.
