(A) Each employee is personally responsible for the content of all test, audio or images that he, she or they place or send over the county’s email/internet system. No email or other electronic communications may be sent which hides the identity of the sender or represents the sender as someone else or someone from another entity. All messages communicated on the county’s email/internet system should contain the employee’s name. Excessive personal communications are prohibited.
(B) Any messages or information sent by an employee to another individual outside the county via an electronic network (e.g., bulletin board, online service or Internet) are statements that reflect on the county. While some users include personal “disclaimers” in electronic messages, there is still a connection to the county and the statements may be tied to the county.
(C) All communications sent by employees via the county’s email/internet system must comply with this and other county policies and may not disclose any confidential or proprietary information.
