Electronic mail is to be used for business purposes.
While personal electronic mail is permitted, it is to be kept to a minimum. Personal electronic mail should be sent or received as seldom, and be as brief as, possible. No one may solicit, promote or advertise any organization, product or service through the use of electronic mail or anywhere else on Company premises during work hours. Employees are not permitted to send electronic mail that contains ethnic slurs, racial epithets, or anything that may be construed as harassment or disparagement of others based on their race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religious or political beliefs. We reserve the right to determine when an employee is sending excessive or improper electronic mail.
