We take copyright extremely seriously at Circle Social. It is unethical and illegal to copy content from other websites.

List includes content we have written! Clients legally own the content after we have written it, so we cannot even copy previous paragraphs we have written.
We do not extensively quote other sites. It is legal to quote other sites as long as we use correct citations and a hyperlink. However, it is often better for us to write definitions or descriptions in an original way.
Lists for things like Signs of Overdoses can be tricky as those are one-word lists and used everywhere. Copying them is not a copyright issue, but we still want to avoid copying lists whenever possible. Vary the style or have the creative team make into an image instead.

We use Copyscape to check every single piece of content from content writers. This is done by the SEO team. If we find examples of plagiarism or copyright infringement, it is grounds for immediate termination.
