# 6.7 Relationships with External Parties

Employees may have personal relationships with individuals from other organizations. Disclosure is required when such relationships create a conflict of interest or confidentiality risk, including when the external party is:

* a competitor (direct or indirect),
* a portfolio company or its employees,
* a vendor, client, consultant, or partner,
* another tenant or service provider within shared premises.

**Employees must:**

* not share or discuss confidential or non-public information,
* avoid work-related discussions in common or public areas,
* ensure screens, calls, and documents are not visible or audible to outsiders,
* recuse themselves from decisions involving the external party where required.

The Company may implement mitigation measures such as access restrictions, reassignment, or recusal to protect its interests.
