26 Social Media For purposes of this policy, social media refers to any means of posting content on the internet, including personal websites, social networking sites, blogs, chat rooms, and other online platforms, whether affiliated with the Company or not. Use Good Judgment While the Company respects your right to personal expression, you should assume that anything you do on social media—whether on a business or personal account—could be viewed by a colleague, supervisor, partner, supplier, competitor, investor, customer, or potential customer. As such, any social media activity, even from your personal account, reflects on the Company as well as on yourself. It is important to remember that anyone can see what you post (or what you posted five years ago). Guidelines for Posting on Social Media When posting: • Protect trade secrets, intellectual property, and confidential information related to the Company. • Do not make statements that are maliciously false or defamatory or would constitute unlawful harassment or discrimination. • Do not make express or implied threats of violence. • Avoid linking personal accounts to the Company as an official source. • Respect copyright, trademark, and third-party rights. • Do not use the Company's email addresses to register on social media platforms for personal use. • If you identify yourself as an employee of New England Security on your personal account and are posting about the Company, make it clear that your views are your own and that you are not speaking on behalf of the Company. Using Social Media at Work Do not use social media while on your work time, unless it is work related as authorized by your Manager or consistent with policies that cover equipment owned by the Company. Media Contacts If you are not authorized to speak on behalf of the Company, do not speak to the media on behalf of the Company. Direct all media inquiries for official Company responses to Human Resources, your direct manager, vice president, or president of the company. Retaliation Retaliation against those reporting policy violations or cooperating in investigations is prohibited. Retaliatory actions may lead to disciplinary measures. Violations Violations of this policy may result in discipline, up to and including termination. This policy does not limit employees rights to discuss wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment. All employees have the right to engage in or refrain from such activities. 6.16 Telecommuting Telecommuting is defined as regularly working a full or partial workday from home or some other alternate work site.
