The Company makes every effort to provide the best available technology to the employees. In this regard, the Company has installed, at substantial expense, equipment such as telephone, computers, and electronic mail. This policy is to advise those who use our business equipment on the subject of access to and disclosure of computer-stored information, telephonic messages and electronic mail messages created, sent or received by the Company's employees with the use of Company's equipment.
This policy also sets forth policies on the proper use of the telephone, computer, and electronic mail systems provided by the Company.
The Company property, including telephone, computers, and electronic mail, should only be used for conducting company business.
Incidental and occasional personal use of telephone, company computers and electronic mail systems is permitted, but information and messages stored in these systems will be treated no differently from other business-related information and messages, as described below.
The telephone and electronic mail system are not to be used to solicit commercial ventures, religious or political causes of outside organisations, or other non-job related solicitations. Furthermore, the telephone and electronic mail systems are not to be used to create any offensive or disruptive messages. Among those which are considered offensive, are any messages which contain sexual implications, racial slurs, gender-specific comments, or any other comments that offensively address someone's age, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, national origin, or disability. In addition, the electronic mail system shall not be used to send (upload) or receive (download) copyrighted materials, trade secrets, proprietary financial information, or similar materials without prior authorisation.
Although the Company provides certain codes to restrict access to telephone, computers, and electronic mail to protect these systems against external parties or entities obtaining unauthorised access, employees should understand that these systems are intended for business use, and all telephonic conversation, computer information, and electronic mail messages are to be considered as company records.
The Company also needs to be able to respond to proper requests resulting from legal proceedings that call for electronically stored evidence. Therefore, the Company must, and does, maintain the right and the ability to enter into any of these systems and to inspect and review any and all data recorded in those systems. As the Company reserves the right to obtain access to all telephone, mail and electronic mail messages left on or transmitted over these systems, employees should not assume that such messages are private and confidential or that the Company or its designated representatives will not have a need to access and review this information. Individuals using the Company's business equipment should also have no expectation that any information stored on their computer - whether the information is contained on a computer hard drive, computer disks or in any other manner - will be private.
The Company has the right to but does not regularly monitor telephone or electronic mail messages. The Company will, however, inspect the contents of computers, telephone or electronic mail in the course of an investigation triggered by indications of unacceptable behavior or as necessary to locate needed information that is not more readily available by some other less intrusive means.
The contents of computers, telephone, and electronic mail, properly obtained for some legitimate business purpose, may be disclosed by the Company if necessary within or outside of the Company.
Given the Company's right to retrieve and read any electronic mail messages, such messages should be treated as confidential by other employees and accessed only by the intended recipient.
The Company's Director will review any request for access to the contents of an individual's computer, telephone, or electronic mail prior to access being made without the individual's consent.
Any employee who violates this policy or uses the electronic communication systems for improper purposes may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
