Focus Your Answer On
Being aware of company policies (after hire). Knowing where to find such information if it is public. Let the interviewer know you would research company policies and learn what to share/not to share with other co-workers, visitors, or family/friends.

Appearing as if you do not know/do not care about company policies or how they are distributed. You want to make sure the interviewer knows that you will learn the policies and where to direct others to find them.
