Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Can employees mention the company on their personal social media profiles?+

Yes, subject to the selected policy setting for personal account tagging and provided they follow confidentiality, respect and non-disparagement requirements. The template allows configuration ranging from permissive with disclaimers to pre-approval or strong discouragement.

Does this Policy allow the company to monitor employees’ private social media accounts?+

The template assumes that the company may review publicly available or reported content where there is a legitimate business interest, while respecting privacy and data protection principles under Indian law. It does not authorise indiscriminate surveillance of private accounts.

How does this Policy interact with our Code of Conduct or disciplinary rules?+

Social media violations can also amount to broader misconduct, such as harassment, discrimination or breach of confidentiality. The template includes an optional clause that cross-references the Code of Conduct and disciplinary policy so that sanctions are consistent and enforceable.

Are there special rules for senior leaders and marketing staff?+

Yes. The template includes conditional clauses that impose stricter content and approval standards for public-facing roles such as spokespersons, executives, marketing and communications personnel, if you indicate that such roles exist.
