Don't let your company information fall into the wrong hands
If using any of these services on a shared computer or anything out of your control, we do not recommend installing apps, setting up your email on Outlook or syncing any documents. If you are having problems logging in or using on a shared device we recommend switching to either in private or incognito mode – this can usually be done by clicking the three dots at the top right of your browser then selecting wither in-private or incognito mode. Be sure to log out when you have finished.
Always check your company policy to see what devices you may access company information on.
