New Tumblr Policy: What You Need to Know

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has established a new policy for its Tumblr account, aimed at ensuring a safe and respectful online community. As a user of this platform, it's essential to understand the guidelines and rules that govern our interactions on this site.

Firstly, all comments and personally identifiable information shared with NARA may be disclosed to others and used in the conduct of agency business. This includes user comments and any personal details you choose to share. NARA retains records of content on its Tumblr portion, as mandated by the Federal Records Act and our own records retention schedules.

It's important to note that the privacy policies of NARA do not apply to content hosted on external Tumblr accounts. Therefore, if you're unsure about a particular account's privacy policy, it's best to seek clarification directly from the account holder.

NARA welcomes all comments and ideas, but reserves the right to remove any posts that don't adhere to our standards. This includes:

* Posts containing personally identifiable information such as social security numbers, addresses, and telephone numbers

* Gratuitous links to sites deemed as spam

* Comments that promote services or products, political parties, individuals campaigning for elected office, or ballot propositions

* Abusive, vulgar, offensive, threatening, or harassing language, personal attacks of any kind, or offensive terms targeting specific individuals or groups

We intend to moderate comments as soon as possible on the next business day, between 8:30 am and 5:30 pm Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Remember that all comments are immediately released into the public domain, so please exercise caution when submitting your thoughts. You're encouraged to share your ideas and opinions with others by liking or reblogging our posts.

By following these guidelines, we can create a positive and respectful online community for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns about NARA's Tumblr policy, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
