Common use of Acceptable Use Standards Clause in Contracts

Acceptable Use Standards. The EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy details its purpose, requirements and scope. In summary, the Acceptable Use Policy explains the difference between appropriate and inappropriate— or permissible and impermissible—use of Information Resources across EOHHS. In the event that any staff is found to have violated the Acceptable Use Policy, depending on factors such as the magnitude of the violation(s), the number of violation(s), and the kind of violation(s), those staff may be disciplined. Such discipline may include limitation of or removal of rights to access Information Resources, suspension or termination of employment, or civil and criminal penalties such as fines and incarceration. The current version of record of the EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy is hosted on PACE and is attached to this document as Attachment 1. Older versions of the EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy may be stored elsewhere but should not be relied upon for compliance purposes. Agencies may not under any circumstances create documentation to supplant or replace the EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy. Agencies may, however, create documentation that effectively supplements or adds to the EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy based on demonstrated and legitimate Agency need. Agencies are strongly encouraged to do so where the EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy has perceived deficiencies based on the quality or kind of data being handled by the Agency or based on legal compliance. Any supplementary materials, whether or not identified as such, must be reviewed and approved by the Security Office prior to publication and dissemination to staff. Such supplementary materials will be made effective by appending them to the EOHHS Acceptable Use Policy as an exhibit.
