Podcast Movement encourages community engagement and values connecting online. Share, discuss, and discover information and ideas through our online networks and connect with others. We welcome your questions and comments. In order to keep our communities and conversations focused, we’ve established the following guidelines:

​

Social networks are public

Podcast Movement online communities are open to the public. Anything posted to our online networks may be seen and read by everyone. These are public pages and anyone can participate so we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.

 

Stay on topic

Your comments should be related to the topics posted on our online networks. We reserve the right to delete off-topic comments, and, for instance, will remove any marketing materials, commercial content, and other types of “spam” (such as comments that are posted repeatedly), and will ban users as appropriate.

​

Make sure it’s yours

Only post content if you have the proper permission from its rightful owners. If it belongs to someone else, please don’t post it. Copyrighted and trademarked material and other intellectual property will be flagged for removal.

​

License to use your content

By posting on the Podcast Movement content on our online channels, you grant us the right to use or reproduce your content.

​

Event Photography, Video, and Media Release

Podcast Movement events are photographed, recorded, and filmed. By registering for and attending a Podcast Movement event, you acknowledge and agree that you may appear in photographs, video recordings, live streams, and other media captured during the event.

By entering the event venue, you grant Podcast Movement and its affiliates, partners, sponsors, and authorized media representatives the irrevocable right and permission to capture, use, reproduce, publish, distribute, and display your name, image, likeness, voice, statements, and appearance in any and all media, now known or later developed, for promotional, marketing, advertising, educational, and archival purposes, without compensation, notification, or additional consent.

​

This may include use in future marketing materials, social media, websites, email campaigns, digital advertisements, printed materials, and other promotional content.

​

If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, you must notify event staff upon arrival. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests, we cannot guarantee that you will not appear incidentally in group or crowd footage.

​

Be kind and respectful

We believe you can make a positive contribution to our online communities, and we want to hear your voice. We welcome questions and commentary, including constructive feedback and differing opinions, but please remember to be both relevant and respectful with what you post. We do not tolerate harassment, abuse, or threats to others. We reserve the right to remove any posts that do not adhere to our guidelines and to block anyone who violates them repeatedly. Specifically, we do not tolerate posts that are:

​

• Abusive, harassing, stalking, threatening or attacking others
