Summary
The TikTok Policy of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences (hereafter referred to as the TikTok policy) instructs the use of the TikTok social media service within the context of the university environment, as well as the device specifically acquired for this purpose (referred to as “a social media device”). This document provides guidelines on how IT Services, the IT department of Metropolia, expects the higher education community to interact with the TikTok application. The use of TikTok on a device provided by the university (also known as the employer) is prohibited. Additionally, the web version of TikTok should not be accessed on institution-managed devices, and logging into the service using an organization-provided email or username is not allowed. To introduce TikTok for a department, school, innovation hub, or individual project, a separate social media device must be acquired by submitting a service request to IT Services. It’s important to note that a social media device is distinct from an employee’s personal work device or privately owned equipment. Social media devices are always managed by Metropolia. This TikTok policy applies to the entire higher education community that utilizes institution-managed or provided devices. It does not pertain to devices that are not owned by Metropolia, such as privately owned personal devices like mobile phones or computers. Privately owned personal devices may be used as individuals see fit for themselves. The complete document is downloaded on this website as an attachment.
