We are happy for you to be on social media, to talk about your work in general terms, and to share what you are learning. This policy explains where the lines are, so that our clients, our work and you stay protected.

1. YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNTS
Your personal accounts are yours. We will not ask for your passwords, ask you to connect with us, or monitor your personal accounts.
If you mention TSS, make it clear that the views are your own. For example, on LinkedIn: “Full Stack Developer at Thakur Systems & Structures. Views are my own.”
Be respectful. Harassing a colleague online is covered by the Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy, even on a personal account.
Do not contact interns under 18 through your personal accounts or messaging apps. Keep all contact with them on work channels (Internship Policy).
2. WHAT YOU CAN SHARE
Your job title, and that you work at TSS.
General descriptions of your skills and the technologies you work with, such as “building web applications with Spring Boot and React”.
Posts and announcements that TSS has already published.
Your personal projects, open-source contributions and learning, as long as they do not use company or client code or information.
Photos from company events, if everyone in the photo is happy for it to be posted.
3. WHAT YOU MUST NOT SHARE
Client names, logos or projects, unless the client has agreed publicly and a Director has approved it.
Screenshots of code, dashboards, designs, terminals, admin panels, internal chats or documents, even if you think nothing sensitive is visible.
Our pricing, contracts, plans or finances, or anything about unreleased products or features.
Photos taken in the office that show screens, whiteboards, documents or ID badges.
Anything about security incidents, weaknesses, or how our security is set up.
Anyone else’s personal information.
Photos, names or anything else that identifies an intern under 18, unless their parent or guardian has agreed by email.
Anything discriminatory, harassing or defamatory, or anything that attacks a client.
If you have a problem at work, please raise it with us first through the Employee Grievance Policy, so that we can fix it. Nothing in this policy stops you from discussing your own terms of employment, or from reporting wrongdoing under the Whistleblower Policy.
4. SPEAKING FOR TSS
Only the Directors, and people they authorise in writing, can speak on behalf of TSS or run TSS social media accounts.
If a journalist, blogger, influencer or anyone else asks you to comment about TSS or a client, do not respond. Pass it to a Director.
If you see something about TSS online that worries you, tell a Director rather than replying yourself.
5. JOB SITES, PORTFOLIOS AND GITHUB
On LinkedIn, Naukri or similar sites, you can list your role and skills as described above.
Do not put client code or screenshots of client work in your portfolio or on your GitHub profile. Describe the type of work in general terms instead, or show your personal projects.
6. DURING WORKING HOURS
Keep personal social media for your breaks, and use your own device for it. Company devices are for work only.
7. MISTAKES
If you post something by mistake that breaks this policy, delete it and tell a Director straight away. We will help you deal with it.
8. BREACHES
Breaking this policy may lead to disciplinary action. Sharing confidential information may also breach your Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement.
