Dear Group,
In light of the recent discussion concerning surveillance, I am reminded
of the discussions around an internet/e-mail monitoring policy such as an
acceptable use policy.
I am looking for information on the privacy laws or requirements around an
e-mail/ internet monitoring scheme. I remember one occurring in late
2004 early 2005, but I cannot find reference to it. I have checked the
archives for data protection and freedom of information, but I have not
been able to track down the discussion. I am interested in the aspect
regarding whether employees had to sign an internet usage policy, an
acceptable use policy, or whether it could be tacitly assumed. I recall
one poster had stressed that the authority had to demonstrate where an
employee had signed such an internet usage policy otherwise any
disciplinary steps would be undermined.
If anyone has any information on this please let me know.
Best,
Lawrence
