All transmissions must be identifiable by McGill staff. That is, they must include your access code. Similar rules are imposed by many external networks. It is specifically forbidden to attempt to mask your real identity or intentionally originate a message masquerading as someone else. Users must comply with this convention.
Users have a right to privacy.
The level of privacy does not exceed, however, that of reasonable expectations. However, system failures or design faults may compromise this privacy and users should also recognize that authorized McGill personnel may have access to data and software stored on MCF while performing routine operations or pursuing system problems. Users should further recognize that, as specified in the relevant administrative policies at McGill, authorized McGill personnel have the obligation to take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure the integrity of MCF and to ensure that this Code is observed. Users are cautioned that technology used in today's computers and networks does not provide for complete privacy. McGill's responsibility is limited to taking reasonable actions.
