Internet and Email Usage Policy (TX)

Inappropriate use of your company's technology can leave you open to significant financial and legal risk. An internet and email policy is necessary to make sure that the company's technology such as email, electronic communication devices, equipment, systems, and networks is used in a way that protects your business and assets. The policy also needs to align with the company's goals and culture.

This policy makes employees aware of their responsibilities when using company technology. It lets them know what they can and cannot do via email and the internet, and the consequences for violating the policy.

The policy will need to be reviewed in conjunction with your employee handbook, other existing company policies, and any applicable state or local laws to ensure alignment. It should be signed by all employees who use your email, electronic communication devices, equipment, systems, or networks.
