As a user of State of Tennessee resources, I agree to abide by the State of Tennessee Acceptable Use Policy and the following promises and guidelines as they relate to the policy established:

1. I will protect State resources against unauthorized disclosure and/or use.
2. I will maintain all computer access credentials in the strictest of confidence; immediately change them if I suspect their secrecy has been compromised and will report activity that is contrary to the provisions of this agreement to my supervisor.
3. I will be accountable for all transactions performed using my computer access credentials.
4. I will not disclose any confidential information other than to persons authorized to access such information as identified by state or federal laws, regulations or policies.
5. I will not obtain or use data obtained as a result of or through my position as a user for personal purposes.

The State of Tennessee monitors State resources, including, but not limited to, real time monitoring. Users have no expectation of or right to privacy. All transactions and communications are considered to be State property and may be examined by management for any reason including, but not limited to, security and/or employee conduct.

I acknowledge that I must adhere to this policy as a condition for receiving access to this system.

I understand the violation or disregard of this policy may result in my loss of access and business relationship with the State of Tennessee, and any other appropriate legal action, including possible prosecution under the provisions of the Tennessee Personal and Commercial Computer Act of 2003 as cited at Tennessee Code Annotated, § 39-14-601 et seq., and other applicable laws.
