Acceptable use Policy<\/h4>\n

1.   Overview<\/strong><\/h6>\n

KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES\u2019s intentions for publishing an Acceptable Use Policy are not to impose restrictions contrary to KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES\u2019s established culture of openness, trust, and integrity. KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES is committed to protecting KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES’s employees, partners, and the company from illegal or damaging actions by individuals, either knowingly or unknowingly.<\/p>\n

Internet\/Intranet\/Extranet-related systems, including but not limited to computer equipment, software, operating systems, storage media, network accounts providing electronic mail, WWW browsing, and FTP, are the property of KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES. These systems are to be used for business purposes in serving the interests of the company and of our clients and customers in the course of normal operations. Please review Human Resources policies for further details.<\/p>\n

Effective security is a team effort involving the participation and support of every KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES employee and affiliate who deals with information and\/or information systems. It is the responsibility of every computer user to know these guidelines and to conduct their activities accordingly.<\/p>\n

2.   Purpose<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The purpose of this policy is to outline the acceptable use of computer equipment at KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES. These rules are in place to protect the employee and KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES. Inappropriate use exposes KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES to risks, including virus attacks, compromise of network systems and services, and legal issues.<\/p>\n

3.   Scope<\/h6>\n

This policy applies to the use of information, electronic and computing devices, and network resources to conduct KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES business or interact with internal networks and business systems, whether owned or leased by KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES, the employee, or a third party. All employees, contractors, consultants, temporary, and other workers at KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES and its subsidiaries are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding appropriate use of information, electronic devices, and network resources following KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES   policies and standards and local laws and regulation. Exceptions to this policy are documented in section 5.2<\/p>\n

This policy applies to employees, contractors, consultants, temporaries, and other workers at KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES, including all personnel affiliated with third parties. This policy applies to all equipment that is owned or leased by KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES.<\/p>\n

  • \n
      \n
    • General Use and Ownership <\/strong>\n
        \n
      1. KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES proprietary information stored on electronic and computing devices, whether owned or leased by KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES, the employee or a third party, remains the sole property of KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES. You must ensure through legal or technical means that proprietary information is protected following the Data Protection Standard.<\/em><\/li>\n
      2. You have a responsibility to promptly report the theft, loss, or unauthorized disclosure of KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES proprietary information.<\/li>\n
      3. You may access, use or share KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES proprietary information only to the extent it is authorized and necessary to fulfill your assigned job duties.<\/li>\n
      4. Employees are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding the reasonableness of personal use. Individual departments are responsible for creating guidelines concerning personal use of Internet\/Intranet\/Extranet systems. In the absence of such policies, employees should be guided by departmental policies on personal use, and if there is any uncertainty, employees should consult their supervisor or manager.<\/li>\n
      5. For security and network maintenance purposes, authorized individuals within KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES may monitor equipment, systems, and network traffic at any time, per KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES’ Audit Policy<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES reserves the right to audit networks and systems periodically to ensure compliance with this policy.<\/p>\n

        4. Postings by employees from a KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES email address to newsgroups should contain a disclaimer stating that the opinions expressed are strictly their own and not necessarily those of KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES unless posting is in the course of business duties.<\/li>\n
        5. Employees must use extreme caution when opening e-mail attachments received from unknown senders, which may contain malware.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          6. Unacceptable Use<\/strong><\/h6>\n

          The following activities are, in general, prohibited. Employees may be exempted from these restrictions during the course of their legitimate job responsibilities (e.g., systems administration staff may need to disable the network access of a host if that host is disrupting production services).<\/p>\n

          Under no circumstances is an employee of KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES authorized to engage in any illegal activity under local, state, federal, or international law whil-uipe utilizing KORSGY TECHNOLOGIES-owned resources.<\/p>\n
