At all times, we should use good judgment and common sense; conduct ourselves ethically, lawfully, and professionally; and follow applicable authorization protocols while accessing and using Company-provided information technology and its contents.

It is important to maintain the confidentiality of passwords, as they are unique to you and promote accountability. If someone signs into a system with your User ID and password that you gave them, you are responsible. This means you should not share with anyone including your supervisor or manager. You should not leave your user IDs and passwords in an area where someone can find and use them. To allow others access to your work files while away from the office, move them to a shared or public drive.

Use of the Internet and e-mail for personal reasons is permissible on a limited basis as per the Employee Handbook. However, as e-mails are the property of PSBA, use good judgment and do not access, send a message, or store any information that you would not want to be seen or heard by others. Never use computer resources for illegal purposes such as downloading or forwarding copyrighted materials (e.g., music and movies, unlicensed proprietary software programs).

You should have no expectation of privacy regarding information technology resources. Unless prohibited by law, we reserve the right to access and disclose all information on these resources, at any time for any reason.
