Following and sharing
From time-to-time we might share other users’ posts. We do this where content is about our core functions and might be helpful to our followers.
We follow other accounts, but we don't follow all of our followers. If we share content or use hashtags, this does not mean we endorse or recommend that account or product.
Privacy
We must follow rules when we create and manage records. Read our privacy policy. You should also check the privacy policies of the social media channel.
