While the network administration desires to provide a reasonable level of privacy, users should be aware that the data they create on the corporate system remains the property of the corporation, and usually can be recovered even though deleted by the user. Despite security precautions, there is no absolutely fail-safe way to prevent an unauthorized user from accessing stored files. The network management cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any information stored on the network. Information that must remain confidential should therefore not be stored on the network. Management may access user files, including archived material of present and former employees without the user's consent for any purpose related to maintaining the integrity of the network, or the rights of the corporation or other users or for any other reasonable purpose.
Employees are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding the reasonableness of personal use.
Employees who have computers connected to the Internet-related systems and certain other designated employees are responsible for backing up data on a daily basis.
