Confidentiality

TGD regards the protection of its confidential information as paramount to its success and reputation as a trusted business. Employees, contractors and directors
are under the obligation not to use this information for their own benefit (or for that of a third party), nor disclose any Confidential Information belonging to TGD except as may be necessary in line with their employment. Confidential Information is any information which relates to the business affairs of TGD or any entity that TGD works with which is not publicly available and includes (but is not limited to):

• Information related to the TGD corporate strategy, business plans and product development the TGD client database

activity that would conflict with TGD’s best interests and negatively affect TGD’s reputation by bringing the company into disrepute.

This means demonstrating appropriate and acceptable standards of conduct and acting responsibly.

outside working hours or at another site.
