SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

Jerocorp is active on several social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Among our goals for our social media activity is engagement in an ongoing dialogue with individuals and organizations interested in construction, employment at Jerocorp, and other related topics. To that end, we encourage you to respectfully share thoughts and opinions on our social media pages.

We would like to but unfortunately are unable to respond individually to every comment.

If we decide to follow a social media user, it does not imply endorsement. We follow companies and individuals relevant to the construction industry. Similarly, a retweet or content share does not imply endorsement. We may share information relevant to our business or to the construction industry and our partnerships. We do have guidelines, however, and posts that violate these guidelines are subject to removal.

A comment will be deleted if it contains:

  • Hate speech

  • Profanity, obscenity, or vulgarity

  • Nudity in profile pictures

  • Defamation to a person or people

  • Name calling and/or personal attacks

  • Comments whose main purpose are to sell a product

  • Comments that infringe on copyrights or trademarks

  • Spam comments, such as the same comment posted repeatedly on a profile

  • Other comments that Jerocorp’s Social Media team deems inappropriate

  • All links posted as comments Jerocorp posts will be reviewed and may be deleted. Repeated violations of the Jerocorp comment policy may cause the author to be blocked from Jerocorp’s social media profiles.

Social media is a 24/7 medium; our moderation capabilities, sadly, are not. We may not see every inappropriate comment right away, but we have faith that our community will ignore personal attacks and negative speech, or respond politely, until we can address the situation.

CHILDREN

Jerocorp’s sites are not intended for children under the age of eighteen (18). Jerocorp does not knowingly collect personal information from children under eighteen (18). If we learn that information has been collected from a user under the age of eighteen (18) through a Jerocorp site, we will take appropriate steps to delete such information. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of eighteen (18) who has transmitted information to us, please contact us using the contact information below so we can address the issue.
