Responsible Use of Social Media Course

Social media allows employees to engage, network, and communicate with their colleagues externally with customers, suppliers and partners.

However, most social media content constitutes personal data, so it is important to use social media platforms responsibly.

Our Responsible Use of Social Media Course will help your employees understand how to use social media safely and responsibly, use personal data appropriately and protect data according to the GDPR.
