Show Quotes
When you share something over the web (email, social media, etc) you are essentially giving that information to the platform that you’re sharing it on. They can then use that information to advertise to you. The recipient that gets this information can also keep it.
Your small business is all about your intellectual property. Regardless of what business you’re in – everything that you are sharing is valuable to you. It’s important to protect that information!
