We are committed to the ethical, responsible and appropriate use of our information resources. To perform your job duties in support of our mission, and as an employee in a technology support role, you may receive fuller access than other employees to the information systems that you support, and to the data and records managed by those systems. That fuller access carries the responsibility to act in an ethical, responsible and appropriate manner, within your authorized job duties.
With that in mind, you agree to the following standards in dealing with information with which you come in contact:
- To treat private or confidential information encountered in the performance of your job duties as confidential, unless and until informed otherwise by your supervisor; and, to seek guidance from your supervisor when you are unsure about the confidentiality of information, before you take any action that compromises that confidentiality.
- To take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized and unnecessary access to user identifications, passwords, other information that may be used to access information systems, and other confidential information.
- To limit to authorized personnel their access to information contained in or obtained from information systems.
- Except as may be needed or appropriate in the performance of your job duties, to avoid sharing, recording, transmitting, altering, or deleting information in the information systems.
- Promptly to notify your supervisor if you discover any misuse of confidential information.
By your signature below, you acknowledge that:
- This Agreement applies to information systems with which you come into contact in your performance of your job duties.
- Reckless or intentional violations of these standards may subject you to disciplinary action up to and including, for repeated or egregious offenses, termination of your employment.
