Policies
emailbackup has its own privacy policy, confidentiality agreements with contractors & employees and general quality policies.
It is important for staff to understand that just as they would not send out a personal letter on the letterhead of the company or business they work for neither should they send personal email without the permission of their employer.
To overcome issues which may become relevant when using a service such as carboncopy an email use policy should be prominently displayed in the workplace.
emailbackup has developed a sample email use policy which is available for download. It is in a simple word document format and is free to be altered to suit your organisation.
