Sample Internet policies and notices
Business Link
When using the Internet for business, you need a clear written set of company Internet policies. This is important from both business and legal perspectives.
For example, you need to inform visitors to your website about how the site operates and how you might use any personal data. You also need to make clear the copyright of site content.
At the same time, you need clear guidelines on how your staff should use the Internet and email, both for personal and business use.
