Facebook Connect & Privacy Policy

Please note: when the term 'SheffieldSU.com App' is used, we are referring to our Facebook Connect app, not the website in general.

When using SheffieldSU.com App we place a high value on your personal privacy. We respect the personal nature of the information you provide us on our web site when connecting through Facebook and recognise the importance of protecting this information. This 'Facebook Connect & Privacy Policy' may be revised or updated at any time and we encourage you to check back often to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version and terms.

When you log in to our website through SheffieldSU.com using Facebook Connect, and approve our app, we instantly hold basic information attributed to that Facebook account. This includes full name, e-mail address and Facebook user ID.

You may also provide personal information through SheffieldSU.com in several ways including: (1) by sharing personal information when you post comments on our news stories, or (2) by sharing personal information when you post comments on our events and/or RSVP to an event.

The email address associated with your account when you comment on our news stories are not usually used for any other reason except that they may be used as a customer service and policy violation contact mechanism.

We do not use any other information attributed to your Facebook account for any other reason.

Any information you disclose voluntarily on our comments system or in any properties hosted by our website becomes public information. SheffieldSU.com App is a public forum. We cannot control the action of our site users and advise you to use your discretion in sharing information about yourself on the Internet.

All information sharing is optional and done so at your own risk. Privacy is a very personal matter and we encourage you to be careful and responsible when disclosing personal information online.

We never censor comments based on political or ideological point of view or of a critical nature. We reserve the right to delete those comments that are off-topic, 'spammy' in nature, abusive, use excessive foul language, or include ad hominem attacks.

Once a comment is made public on the SheffieldSU.com website, we will not remove it by request. As a user, you are responsible for your own communications and are responsible for the consequences of their posting.

All comments and other content contributed to SheffieldSU.com App shall adhere to the following policy, and may be edited or removed at SheffieldSU.com App's discretion if it is deemed to be in violation of this policy.

  1. Personal attacks: Please don't engage in personal attacks - the SheffieldSU.com App community should focus on intelligently discussing topics by furthering the conversation and informing the participants with resourceful and constructive ideas.
  2. Hate speech: Racism, sexism and homophobia will not be tolerated.
  3. Language and threats: Please watch your language and respect other people's views, beliefs and emotions. We reserve the right to remove any content that might be found extremely offensive or threatening.
  4. No spam: Spam and advertising content will be removed.
  5. Smear tactics: Although we acknowledge criticism of our new stories and events, we will not allow misrepresentation. We will distinguish between constructive arguments and smear tactics.
  6. Relevancy: Please keep conversations relevant. Off-topic comments are subject to removal in order to keep the thread on track.
  7. Quality: We encourage you to take responsibility for the quality of the conversations in which you're participating. Maintain intelligent discussions in the SheffieldSU.com community by being respectful and considerate.
  8. Help us: Maintain an inviting interaction space by self-policing threads and flagging spam. Although we have a hands-on approach to community engagement, we do sometimes miss problem commenters and issues. We appreciate your efforts to keep the SheffieldSU.com community environment inviting, insightful and constructive. Let the conversations be quality ones.

Interacting with Events and New Stories

When you're logged into our website using Facebook, you can 'Like' events and news stories (updates) just as you would do on Facebook. By doing this, the 'like' will appear in your timeline or on your Facebook wall.

When you view an event that is connected with Facebook, an invitation box will appear in the top right corner of that event view. To respond to the invitation, select 'Yes', 'No', or 'Maybe' below the event's name. This will then push your reply to the Facebook event, with this reply being visible on both our website and on Facebook.

Keep in mind that an event will continue to display in your list of upcoming events if you select one of the three RSVP options. If you do not wish to see the event again, you can remove it using the X that appears to the right of the invitation on your Facebook home page.
