Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

By accepting this document, you acknowledge
and consent that when you access Department of Defense (DoD) information
systems:

1. You are accessing a U.S. Government
   (USG) information system (IS) (which includes any device attached to this
   information system) that is provided for U.S. Government authorized use only.
2. You consent to the following
   conditions:
   1. The U.S.
      Government routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this information
      system for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing,
      communications security (COMSEC) monitoring, network operations and defense,
      personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI)
      investigations.
   2. At any time,
      the U.S. Government may inspect and seize data stored on this information
      system.
   3. Communications using, or data stored on, this information system are not
      private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may
      be disclosed or used for any U.S. Government-authorized purpose.
   4. This
      information system includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access
      controls) to protect U.S. Government interests–not for your personal benefit
      or privacy.
3. Notwithstanding the above, using an
   information system does not constitute consent to personnel misconduct, law
   enforcement, or counterintelligence investigative searching or monitoring of
   the content of privileged communications or data (including work product) that
   are related to personal representation or services by attorneys,
   psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Under these circumstances,
   such communications and work product are private and confidential, as further
   explained below:
4. Nothing in this User Agreement shall
   be interpreted to limit the user’s consent to, or in any other way restrict or
   affect, any U.S. Government actions for purposes of network administration,
   operation, protection, or defense, or for communications security. This
   includes all communications and data on an information system, regardless of
   any applicable privilege or confidentiality.
5. The user consents to
   interception/capture and seizure of ALL communications and data for any
   authorized purpose (including personnel misconduct, law enforcement, or
   counterintelligence investigation).В However, consent to interception/capture
   or seizure of communications and data is not consent to the use of privileged
   communications or data for personnel misconduct, law enforcement, or
   counterintelligence investigation against any party and does not negate any
   applicable privilege or confidentiality that otherwise applies.
6. Whether any particular communication
   or data qualifies for the protection of a privilege, or is covered by a duty of
   confidentiality, is determined in accordance with established legal standards
   and DoD policy. Users are strongly encouraged to seek personal legal counsel on
   such matters prior to using an information system if the user intends to rely
   on the protections of a privilege or confidentiality.
7. Users should take reasonable steps
   to identify such communications or data that the user asserts are protected by
   any such privilege or confidentiality. However, the user’s identification or
   assertion of a privilege or confidentiality is not sufficient to create such
   protection where none exists under established legal standards and DoD policy.
8. A user’s failure to take reasonable
   steps to identify such communications or data as privileged or confidential
   does not waive the privilege or confidentiality if such protections otherwise
   exist under established legal standards and DoD policy. However, in such cases
   the U.S. Government is authorized to take reasonable actions to identify such
   communication or data as being subject to a privilege or confidentiality, and
   such actions do not negate any applicable privilege or confidentiality.
9. These conditions preserve the
   confidentiality of the communication or data, and the legal protections
   regarding the use and disclosure of privileged information, and thus such
   communications and data are private and confidential. Further, the U.S.
   Government shall take all reasonable measures to protect the content of
   captured/seized privileged communications and data to ensure they are
   appropriately protected.
   1. In cases
      when the user has consented to content searching or monitoring of
      communications or data for personnel misconduct, law enforcement, or
      counterintelligence investigative searching, (i.e., for all communications and
      data other than privileged communications or data that are related to personal
      representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their
      assistants), the U.S. Government may, solely at its discretion and in
      accordance with DoD policy, elect to apply a privilege or other restriction on
      the U.S. Government’s otherwise-authorized use or disclosure of such
      information.
   2. All of the
      above conditions apply regardless of whether the access or use of an
      information system includes the display of a Notice and Consent Banner
      ("banner"). When a banner is used, the banner functions to remind the
      user of the conditions that are set forth in this User Agreement, regardless of
      whether the banner describes these conditions in full detail or provides a
      summary of such conditions, and regardless of whether the banner expressly
      references this User Agreement.

2. I will not try to access data or use operating systems or programs,
   except as specifically authorized.
3. I know I will be issued a user identifier (user ID) and a password to
   authenticate my JSS account. After receiving
   them—
4. I will not allow anyone else to have or use my password. If I know that
   my password is compromised, I will report to my JSS
   Webmaster for a new one.
5. I will not run “sniffers” (utilities used to monitor network traffic,
   commonly used to Spy on other network users and attempt to collect their
   passwords) or any hacker-related software on my GC, Government IT system, or
   network.
6. If I observe anything on the system I am using that indicates inadequate
   security, I will immediately notify the site Webmaster.
   I know what constitutes a security incident and know that I must immediately
   report such incidents to the Webmaster
7. I will comply with security guidance issued by my SA and IASO.

   system and that my signature on this agreement indicates that I understand my
   responsibility as a user requires that I adhere to regulatory guidance.
9. I know I am subject to disciplinary action if I violate DOD computer
   policy. For U.S. personnel, this means that if I fail to comply with this
   policy, I may be subject to adverse administrative action or punishment under
   Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). If I am not subject
   to the UCMJ, I may be subject to adverse action under the United States Code or
   Code of Federal Regulations.
10. Acknowledgement: I have read the above requirements regarding use of JSS
    access systems.В I understand my responsibilities regarding these systems and
