From the Paper:

"Employees must follow corporate practices that are designed to protect confidential information. Among the practices that should be followed are keeping that information secure in the workplace, using the information only to do their job and not for personal benefit, sharing the information within SGE only when necessary for others to do their job, and not divulge the confidential information to those not employed by SGE. If confidential information must be shared with persons outside of SGE, a written confidentiality agreement must be used and the employee should consult the legal department prior to sharing of the information for details."
