Company email and internet policies

Police

"The Police email system must not be used to transmit material that is likely to bring discredit upon the Police, or which is otherwise objectionable.

"Staff are once again reminded that Police WILL take a zero-tolerance approach to any use of Police computers to transmit pornographic images or text, and any member found to have intentionally transmitted such material on Police equipment will be sanctioned.

"To help ensure compliance with these rules, the Information Technology Services Centre monitors Police email traffic.

"Members should also be aware that copies of deleted emails may still be retrievable from Police servers, the member's computer or backup media."

Auckland City Council

"Email whether sent or received will be scanned and if inappropriate items are detected, the email will be stopped and the administrator notified.

"Specific words can be set-up to trigger a blocking capability, which will scan the email content and if the specified words are found, the email will be stopped and the administrator notified.

"Where outgoing email is deemed to contravene policy, the sender's manager will be advised."

APN Holdings (Publisher of the Weekend Herald)

"Computing resources may not be used for transmitting, retrieving or storage of any communications of a discriminatory or harassing nature or materials that are obscene or 'X-rated'.

"Misuse, non-compliance or undertaking of prohibited activities may be regarded as serious misconduct and disciplinary action will follow."
