(Reuters) -Meta Platforms Inc said on Friday its board had approved providing personal security services to former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, citing “continuing threats to her safety”.

The company said it expects to continue to pay for security services at Sandberg’s residences and during her personal travel from Oct. 1 until June 30 next year.

A close associate of Meta’s Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, Sandberg said in June she would depart the social media giant after a 14-year stint when she led the company’s often-criticized ads-based business model.

She will no longer be an employee after Sept. 30 but will remain on its board, the Facebook-owner said in a regulatory filing.
