You must safeguard P&G’s proprietary information and data, as well as the technologies (such as computer systems and applications) this information is stored on, from damage, alteration, theft, fraud and unauthorized access. To achieve this goal, you must follow the specific security measures and internal controls in place for the systems to which you have access. Only use P&G approved communication technologies. Follow Company guidance concerning limited use of messaging apps.
- You must not use P&G technologies or systems (including computers, phones and other electronic devices that have access to the Internet) to download or send inappropriate, discriminatory, sexually explicit or offensive statements or materials.
- In addition, you must not use these technologies or systems to access illegal material, send unauthorized business or charitable solicitations or conduct non-P&G-related commercial business.
P&G continues to expect any personal use of Company equipment and communications to be occasional, incidental and limited, and in line with local agreements, if any.
- P&G strongly encourages that whenever possible you use personal devices, rather than Company devices, for personal matters.
- This will help protect P&G’s data, and your own, and will also help ensure that the bandwidth that carries traffic between P&G and the internet is fully available for business use.

P&G recognizes that the Internet provides unique opportunities to listen, learn and engage with stakeholders using a wide variety of social media tools, including:
- blogs
- micro blogs
- social networking sites
- wikis
- photo / video sharing sites

Because there are many laws around the world that regulate what P&G can and cannot say about itself and our products, P&G has established rules for us to follow when using social media as part of our daily work and in our personal use.
- You must take great care not to disclose confidential P&G information over social media – including photographs.
- You should also remember to disclose your affiliation with P&G whenever you provide opinions or reviews of P&G or competing products and / or services (e.g., by disclosing “#PGEmployee” within your social media postings).
- You should remember that electronic messages (such as emails and text messages) are permanent, transferable records of your communications and can affect the reputation of P&G.
If you believe that P&G technologies and/or electronic communications are being used inappropriately, notify your immediate manager, HR Manager, Legal or contact securityincident.im@pg.com.
