Each category powinny obejmować specjalne przykłady dotyczące tego przemysłu i innych branż. For instance, a appeeutical compety might ligt clinical trial data, podczas gdy a law firm might include attorney-client convenied communications. Use concrete concrete os so employees can easily map thee definition to their ir daily work.
