Portfolium is a platform for students and young professionals around the world to showcase their own work, to discover the work of others, and to connect with employers based on their proven skills and competencies. To help us maintain the quality of our community, please follow these guidelines when posting and sharing your work. If you come across content that violates these guidelines, please let us know by clicking the "Report Abuse" link you'll find at the bottom of every portfolio artifact. From the iOS mobile application the "Report Abuse" link can be found in the top right corner of every portfolio artifact.
Portfolium is a platform for sharing your own work — not for uploading or sharing other people's work that you like. If you want to show your appreciation for someone else's work, you can click the "like" button, you can leave them a positive comment, or you can promote their work via social sharing sites like Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest. Please don't upload other people's work into your own portfolio. This creates confusion about who originally authored the work (and we are all about people getting credit for what they create or what they've done!) If you are uploading a group project, be sure to tag your teammates as Collaborators so the project appears on their portfolio as well. Also, be sure to say what your specific role on the project was in the project description.
Portfolium is all about helping students and young professionals get exposure for their work, and our "Only My Connections" visibility/privacy filter is in this spirit as well. Many countries, schools and companies block web sites that don't offer safe browsing so, by offering and enforcing this feature, we keep your work available to as broad of an audience as possible.
a. Your Project Is "Safe" If: It is appropriate for an audience of all ages and geographies, and you wouldn't get in trouble for looking at it at work or school. Anything safe can be seen by everyone everywhere, whether they're registered with Portfolium or not.
b. Your Project Visibility Should be Set to "Only My Connections" If: It contains nudity, expletives, violence or any other material making it unsuitable for a younger audience, a global audience or people at school or work. Content set to "Only My Connections" is available only to you and your Portfolium connections as logged in users.
c. Your Project Visibility Should be Set to "Only Me" If: It contains any proprietary information or information that others outside of your team or company should not be able to view. Typically, your company will have a sharing policy around confidential information for social media that prohibits the sharing of sensitive content and material.
d. Don't Upload It At All If: your content depicts minors in a sexual manner, or is otherwise legally obscene or illegal. We report any material exploiting minors to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) Cyber Tip Line. We also don't allow content that clearly is intended to promote hatred.
Don't present other people's work as your own or overstate your own role in creating or doing something. Don't use other people's trademarks without permission. If you aren't sure whether your use of someone else's content or trademark in your own work is legal, you can consult publicly available reference materials at the US Copyright Office website, the US Patent & Trademark Office, the Chilling Effects Website, or talk to an intellectual property attorney. If you want to report misuse of your own work or your own trademark by one of our users, you can email [email protected] or click the "Report Abuse" link in the bottom left corner of all portfolio artifacts.
Don't use Portfolium to reveal private information about other people. Don't upload photographic portraits or nude images of identifiable people.
Portfolium is a platform for students and young professionals to interact genuinely with one another. Because any automated or scripted process (such as bulk or automated connecting, messaging or liking user accounts and entries, scripted commenting on entries, etc.) undermines the authenticity of our community, we suspend all accounts that engage in scripted behavior. For similar reasons, we also suspend any accounts that accept (or offer) compensation in exchange for positive comments or likes.
Team/Company pages may only be created by a current member of that team who is in good standing or a team's legally authorized representative. Teams created for a brand, company, organization or educational institution must be created by a user with an email address that corresponds to that entity's official domain (e.g., only someone with an '@google.com' email address associated with their Portfolium account can create a Google team page).
If you leave a team or company, you need to promptly transfer control of your team page to a current member of the team. We do not permit creating team pages as a way of expressing support for a team, or for parodying or critiquing a team, as they may mislead or confuse users. We also do not permit creating team pages for arbitrary groups or categories (for example: don't create a team called "Top Portfolium Engineering Students" and invite your friends to it).
If you believe someone has created a team page that is impersonating your team or organization, please let us know by emailing [email protected].
