Introduction
Social media platforms offer an opportunity to the Hummingfish Foundation to communicate with our supporters and other groups/individuals who share an interest in our organisation or overseas aid in general. As most social media platforms are as such an open medium and we cannot monitor comments as they occur, the Hummingfish Foundation has set a number of rules that we believe will benefit all users of our social media pages including supporters and staff.
Respect
We ask all users to engage in conversation/forum in a respectful manner, so that everyone can enjoy sharing their views on the platform. We endeavour to answer your questions as soon as possible and reply comments where applicable. However, situations like communicating with our overseas partners may take us longer time to respond to you.
Ownership of Comments
Only comments made by the Hummingfish Foundation administrator of this platform reflect the views of the Hummingfish Foundation. We value all comments from supporters, but reserve the right to remove posts that are:- Irrelevant to the objective of our page
- Obscene, profane, disrespectful or hateful in nature
- Considered harassment or threat to any individual or organisation
- Successively off-topic or repeated comments by a single supporter
- Repetitive solicitations or advertisements
- Comments that encourage illegal activities
- Confidential, compromising of personal security and privacy
- Sensitive content (in certain countries such posting could post a threat to the safety of our staff and the effectiveness of our programmes)
- In breach of intellectual property rights
