Step #6: Create Acceptable Use and Privacy Policies
What policies do I need to have in place?
The Internet supports communication via a wide variety of mechanisms. Your Merit/MTA Standard
Services package includes two of the most widely used communication tools: e-mail accounts and a web
server. You have a responsibility to ensure that appropriate care is taken with any information you
share via your web server and/or e-mail. This includes respecting the privacy of others with regard
to the use of personal data or information, complying with applicable copyright laws and licensing
regulations for information and programs you use, and adhering to Merit Network's acceptable use
policies for the MichNet network. We urge you to develop your own acceptable use and privacy
policies and make them readily available from your website. You may find it helpful to refer to
Merit's policies when shaping your township's policies.
