The purpose of these guidelines is two-fold: First, Proforce has an aim to protect our interests, including, but not limited to, the privacy of our clients, end-clients, partners, employees and confidentiality regarding our business purpose, plans, partners, users, and competitors. Second, these guidelines will help you make respectful and appropriate decisions about your work-related interactions with people on the Internet. 

Your personal online activity is your business. However, any activity in or outside of work that affects your performance, the performance of others at Proforce, or Proforce's business interests are a proper focus for this Social Media Policy. You must always assume that your work-related social media activity is visible to Proforce as well as current and potential employees, clients, partners, prospects, and competitors. Proforce reserves the right to direct its members to avoid certain subjects and remove inappropriate comments and posts. Our internal policies remain in effect in our workplace.

• You are NOT authorized to speak on behalf of Proforce without express permission from the Proforce producer, agent or account manager assigned to that account.
