Best Practices

Keeping Information Current

• Update annually - Review settings at least once a year
• After relocations - Update address if your organization moves
• Contact changes - Keep email and phone current
• Rebranding - Update name and details if your organization rebrands

Security Considerations

• Use organization email - Not a personal email address
• Monitor access - Only Owners should have settings access
• Regular audits - Review who has Owner permissions
