20 AAR Doing it right for our company How we own it • Do not share AAR’s confidential information with anyone who does not have a business need to know it and has not been authorized to receive it. • Be careful when discussing AAR’s confidential information in public, as someone could overhear. • Even if you leave AAR, you must still safeguard AAR’s confidential information and never share it with anyone. • Keep in mind that any confidential information you create as part of your work for AAR or with AAR resources belongs to the Company, even after your employment ends. • If you have access to confidential information that belongs to others—such as third-party business partners or customers—protect it as you would AAR’s. Use it only for legitimate business purposes and do not share it with anyone who does not need to know it and has not been authorized to receive it. • Similarly, if you have confidential information from a previous employer, you must keep it confidential and not share it with anyone, including AAR. Using social media responsibly Social media has become a very popular way to communicate and share information and personal opinions. While AAR does not seek to limit our personal use of social media, we should follow a few important guidelines in our online activities. How we own it • Be careful not to speak on behalf of AAR online, or even give the impression that you are doing so. • Make it clear that your views are your own and not those of your employer or anyone else. • Do not share AAR’s confidential information online. For example, do not discuss new projects you are working on, AAR’s finances (even in general terms) or any other information that is not available to the public. • Exercise good judgment in what you say and how you say it. Your words will reflect on you and AAR, given how easy it is to identify a person’s employer. If you have questions about the right way to use social media, speak to your manager or the Corporate Marketing Department. See the Information Technology policy for more information. On her social media page, Corinne posts the following update: “Such a long week! Can’t wait to relax this weekend. I’ve been working a ton of extra hours setting up this new contract with Acme Airways, and I need a break!” Is Corinne Doing It Right? No. It is fine for Corinne to post generally about her workload or the fact that she is looking forward to the weekend, but she also mentioned a new AAR contract. If that information has not been publicly disclosed yet, she should not discuss it on social media.
