Email and Internet Use Policy
About this document
A staff policy setting out how your people must use business email and internet access: security habits that stop phishing and misdirected emails, what personal use is allowed, what is banned, how emails are kept as business records, and how (and why) you may monitor use.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
