Your Responsibilities
Keep in mind that it is your responsibility to abide by these guidelines when engaging in activities related to Intel. Read the complete rules of engagement before signing up.
Rules of Engagement for Intel® Student Ambassadors
Below are a few rules of the road when engaging in activities related to Intel, such as providing trainings, conducting hackathons, posting blogs or articles, or other social media activities, like posting on LinkedIn*, Facebook*, or other social media platforms.
Intel supports transparency. We are committed to ensuring that our ambassadors clearly disclose their relationship with Intel and that statements about Intel products are truthful and substantiated. You are an Intel Student Ambassador who has a special relationship with Intel, and as part of that relationship you are required to follow the following social media guidelines and rules of engagement.
Be Transparent
To comply with Intel's social media policy and rules of engagement, the number one priority is that you timely, clearly, and conspicuously disclose your relationship to Intel, that is, you are an Intel Student Ambassador. We are committed to ensuring that our sponsored social media practitioners (including blogs, microblogs, forums, and any other social media) clearly and conspicuously disclose their relationship to Intel, including incentives and sponsorship. Please be sure that this information is readily apparent to the public and readers of each of your posts. For tweets or other written posts on platforms such as Facebook, as well as descriptions of photos on platforms like Instagram*, start your post with #IntelStudentAmbassador. If you are posting a video on a platform such as YouTube*, use #IntelStudentAmbassador on the actual video footage in the top corner of the screen, preferably at the beginning of the video, as well as including "Sponsored by Intel" above the line in the description of the video. If you are creating a podcast, in the opening line of the podcast, you should disclose the relationship, an example of wording you should use would be: "I am an Intel Student Ambassador.” If you receive sponsorship support from Intel, please clearly disclose by using #SponsoredByIntel.
Ambassadors should make disclosures that are in a font that is easy to read and in a shade that stands out against the background. For video advertisements, disclosures need to be on the screen long enough to be noticed, read, and understood. Audio disclosures need to be read in a cadence that is easy to follow and with understandable words.
In trainings and hackathons, please make sure to clearly disclose your relationship to Intel as well as any sponsorship by Intel.
Write about Your Genuine and Authentic Experience
When posting on social media, please talk specifically about your experiences with our products and services instead of making general product claims that you are not as familiar with. Be honest and accurate.
Write What You Know
When posting on social media, we encourage you to write in the first person and stick to your area of expertise as it relates to Intel technology.
Your Responsibility
Keep in mind that what you write is your responsibility and failure to abide by these guidelines (including failure to disclose your relationship to Intel) could put your sponsorship or incentive at risk. Also please always follow the terms and conditions for any third-party sites in which you participate.
Manage Personal Data
Please ensure that any personal data collected by you to support an event related to Intel complies with the applicable privacy rules and terms of use. Any personal data collected, can only be used for event related communication. All personal data should be deleted or destroyed after the event.
If you have any questions or concerns about these guidelines, please contact Intel.
Please keep in mind that Intel monitors social media and other digital platforms related to our business, including the activities of our ambassador. We are committed to transparent, truthful, and accurate representation of Intel and Intel products and services. If we find any statements or claims that are false or misleading, we will contact you for correction. If you are found to consistently and repeatedly fail to disclose your relationship with Intel to the public, or make false or misleading statements about Intel products, or Intel® services, or post content that is otherwise disparaging, defamatory, or unlawful, we may discontinue our relationship with you.
