We also remind you:

Protect your privacy.
When you registered for your Facebook account, you provided personal information to Facebook. We’d like to remind you that if you don’t have your privacy settings restricted, anyone who is a fan of our page could potentially view your personal information. We strongly encourage you to review your personal privacy settings and if you don’t restrict your privacy settings, then you have consented to the display and release of your personal information.

About your personal information.
Personal information, which includes your Internet Provider (IP) address, is being collected, managed, processed and or stored by a third party service provider and is therefore, not in the sole domain, custody and control of the City of London. Additionally, your personal information may cross the border to a foreign jurisdiction and will therefore, be subject to the governing laws of that jurisdiction.

What may happen to content posted to our page.
Any articles or content posted to the City of London Facebook page are subject to public disclosure. This means that the City of London could be compelled to disclose information from its Facebook page - if it were ever called for in connection with a matter before the courts. Remember too that “anonymous” postings may not remain anonymous if the court orders Facebook to disclose your account information.

Our Facebook Commitment:
• While the City of London will take a balanced approach between reaching out to citizens– through venues like public meetings, and opportunities to provide feedback on our website – we also recognize that real-time platforms, like Facebook, provide us with a great way to reach you where you are – rather than you coming to us.
• • We will post topics and updates on city activities and, from time to time, we’ll ask for your feedback. This information will be reported back to staff, and sometimes Council, and will continually be monitored.
• • We will strive to be current, responsive to comments that contain inaccurate or inappropriate content.
• We look forward to hearing from you.
