Disclosure, Personal Data and Document Retention:

According to the 9th Circuit Court and the 4th Amendment, there is no right of privacy with respect to any information maintained in or on organizational property or that is transmitted through or stored on organizational computer systems, voicemail, e-mail, internet access or other technical resources. Similarly, nothing personnel enter, record, or receive via these systems is private from Generations Incorporated. This means that any message sent or received on Generations Incorporated’s computer systems or other technical resources is subject to inspection, search, and review by the organization at its discretion without further notice. Even electronic tracks of messages you believe you have deleted remain subject to Generation’s review.

E-mails should be treated as if they will be made public. If you do not want an e-mail to appear in the front page of a newspaper, do not send it. This includes e-mail from a personal address on the organization’s server.

E-mail is not to be used to send confidential or sensitive information. If confidential information must be sent via e-mail, it should be sent as an attachment locked with a password. This password can be retrieved by the recipient via telephone or a separate e-mail.

The preferred mode of sending confidential or sensitive information is via facsimile.

If material on or through Generation’s technical resources, including voicemail, e-mail, internet access or computer systems, deemed inappropriate or offensive is encountered, it will immediately be deleted. The matter may also be reported through the whistleblower channels. No employee may deliberately access, print, forward or distribute such material except to report its existence to the organization for remedial purposes.

Generations Incorporated explicitly reserves the right to store, review and monitor at its discretion any data on its servers, e-mail, computers, Internet, and voicemail systems. Additionally, such data may be discoverable in litigation.
