The University of Urbino uses social networks to inform, communicate, and encourage participation, engagement, and dialogue with its users, particularly with students.
Complete and updated information can be found on the University Portal and its connected websites. The presence on social networks is by no means an alternative to the institutional site. Moreover, social media activities do not replace the functions and responsibilities carried out by the Student Services, Teaching Offices, and front-office services of the University of Urbino.
Through social media, the University of Urbino disseminates information about services, projects, and initiatives. Published content may include institutional and service-related information, events, projects, research results, engagement actions, and updates in emergency situations.
Regarding the presence of any advertising spaces next to content on social network pages, it is specified that these are not under the control of the University Administration but are managed independently by the social media platforms.

Rules and Moderation
Social networks have terms of service that all users must respect. On the University of Urbino's social spaces, everyone can actively participate and express their opinions within the bounds of legality and without offending others. Users are encouraged to introduce themselves with their first and last names and to follow some fundamental rules:
- Express your opinion politely and reasonably, based, where possible, on verifiable data, and respect others' opinions.
- Avoid insults, vulgarity, offenses, threats, and violent behavior.
- Respect others' privacy, avoiding references to irrelevant facts or details that intrude on the personal sphere of third parties.
- Do not use these spaces to discuss personal cases; limit comments to matters of public interest.
- Keep to the specific topic and public interest of discussions, avoiding generic or off-topic comments.
- Avoid any form of promotion of private interests, spam, or illegal activities.
- Do not publish content that infringes copyright or use trademarks without permission.
Content Moderation
The University of Urbino moderates its spaces post-publication to manage behaviors that contradict the rules of use. In the most serious cases, such as insults or threats, the Administration reserves the right to delete content, ban users from its spaces, and report them to the moderation filters of the hosting social network.
Responses
The University of Urbino’s social spaces are monitored, generally, from Monday to Friday. The University is committed to reading messages and queries and to providing responses as promptly as possible when feasible.
Response times vary depending on the type of request. If social channels are not the appropriate medium for responding, the editorial team will inform the user of the proper procedures and offices to contact.
Privacy
Users are reminded that the processing of personal data follows the policies in use on the platforms (X, Facebook, YouTube, etc.). Data shared by users through direct private messages sent to the University of Urbino channels will be processed in compliance with current personal data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related Italian laws.
