Just a friendly reminder... PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. We shared this a few months ago but feel like it’s a good time to share this friendly reminder 😉 We know a lot of you are spending extra time online these days trying to pass the time during COVID-19. If you come across a "quick quiz" or a post on social media to share your personal information with your followers, please don't fill it out. It could give other people the ability to figure out your personal information. 🤔🚔
