SND Archive Features

Securely archive social media activity from your official accounts. Integrate SND Archive with your existing social media management software by Social News Desk, or use it as a standalone solution to stay compliant with the Public Records laws pertaining to social media.

Local and state governments fall under local laws which may be called Sunshine Laws, Open Records Laws, Public Records Laws or Public Records Acts.

Social Media is considered a part of the public record in all 50 states, meaning it is subject to open records requests no matter where the agency is located.

Agencies and public entities should retain records for at least seven years (or their state’s minimum retention requirement).

All school organizations, systems, government bodies, and law enforcement or emergency response teams must maintain a compliance archive of social media activity to meet Open Records laws.

Why You Should Archive Your Social Media

To comply with Public Records laws, government agencies, and public entities must retain all records of social media communications and interactions and be able to present them for public records requests. Here are four reasons why you must archive your social media content:

“With our previous archiving product, I would just write a check to them. They're not a partner for me. They're just an insurance policy. With Social News Desk, I can call you at any time. You guys will respond. You have this wonderful startup attitude, but you are a well established brand and you're a force multiplier for us. You're a true partner. You're not just someone I write a check to once a year.”

“It's nice to have archiving and social media management all rolled into one. I've wanted good archiving for a really long time, but I don't want to go to 15 different sites to do my social publishing and do my archiving, so having it all rolled into one is going to be really, really nice. I'm excited!”
