(1) A Company intervention, and
(2) A Company-conducted hearing.
Step 1:
Intervention by Company
Intervention is an attempt by the Company to resolve all Sexual Harassment compl
aints directly without a focus on either motive or blame. Resolution of complain
ts at this stage requires agreement on the part of all parties involved. Agreeme
nt must be voluntary and without duress on the part of either party. Resolution
at the intervention step can often produce the greatest benefit to all parties.
The Company will provide trained staff for facilitating the intervention step an
d intervention shall occur at a time and place of the Company s choosing.
Actions taken in the intervention step include but are not limited to:
listening to the Complainant to find out what action or resolution he/she desire

advising both the Complainant and the respondent as to the scope of the Sexual H
arassment Policy and the definition of behavior;
having the Complainant meet with the respondent to discuss the complaint while a
third party is present;
providing information to the respondent that concerns actions that the Complaina
nt may consider to be Sexual Harassment;
undertaking an initial investigation into the complaint;
conducting an educational session or educational workshop on Sexual Harassment f
or the department or Company, and providing an attendance record as proof of not
ice given to the respondent of this policy;
having a supervisor, manager, or executive counsel the respondent;
helping to draft a letter of apology, a transfer of either party, a voluntary re
signation, or other appropriate level of Company sanction(s);
conducting a follow-up inquiry to see if the complaint has been resolved or if t
he Complainant still wishes to take further action.
Record Keeping
All complaints shall be documented and stored in a confidential file. Complaints
must be kept separate from any personnel or other employment files. Documentati
on must include name of the Complainant and all respondents, including a complet
e description of the complaint, date, witnesses, and any other information relev
ant to the case.
Reporting
The Company Human Resources Manager is responsible for communicating to the Comp
any << insert Executive Board, CEO, President. etc. >> the number, type, and dis
position of Sexual Harassment complaints received. All of these communications s
hall be confidential and shall not disclose the names of the Complainant or the
respondent.
Complaint Withdrawal
In the case of a withdrawal of the complaint by the Complainant, the interventio

n may or may not continue at the discretion of the Company.


Confidentiality of Communication and Complaints
The Company will make every possible effort to maintain confidentiality during t
he intervention; however, confidentiality cannot be 100% guaranteed.
Step 2:
Hearing
The hearing is the second procedure that the Company may undertake at its discre
tion in order to resolve complaints of Sexual Harassment.
The hearing will consist of the following policies and procedures.

) of the parties involved, the Complainant s address, the date of the complaint, t
he date or period of time that the complaint takes place, the nature and descrip

rwise, as notification of Sexual Harassment and shall begin the appropriate inve
stigation; however, for the purposes of the hearing phase, the Company s Sexual Ha
rassment Report must be signed and completed by the Complainant prior to the sta
rt of the complaint hearing.

e hearing procedure. The hearing shall occur no less than ten (10) business days

arty. Nothing contained in the hearing process, statements, or testimony or foun

members, make a finding as to whether the Company Sexual Harassment policy was v
iolated and what actions or sanctions should occur that the Company deems approp
riate and consistent with this Sexual Harassment Policy.

ings recorded by the Human Resources Department and entered in the appropriate p
ersonnel file(s). During the hearing procedure and sanction(s), the Company shal

:
Business Interruptions: Business Interruptions shall be defined as disruptions t
o the normal operations and activity of the Company that may evolve from either
a single event, or events that worsen to the point where the disruption becomes
critical to the continued operation of the Company or a dependent process. Probl
ems may be the results from either tangible (telephone, power failures or interr
uptions, sabotage, negligence or utility failure) or intangible (pandemic or vir
al outbreak, Company-dependent labor disruptions, inclement weather) events.
Business interruptions should be thought of events that may necessitate the enac
tment of the BCP, but may contain more temporary measures and/or restrictions in
order to contain cost or contain the further disruption to the Company by not e
nacting recovery efforts aimed at disasters or more long-term recovery efforts.
Disaster Events: Disaster events are those events listed in Sec. 3.1 which are d
eemed to potentially cause long-term disruption or interruption.
Proper classification of events will help direct the response and/or recovery fo
r each situation.
3.5 Event Escalation
Event escalation shall be the point at which a business interruption shall be re
classified as a disaster event. The following are the various thresholds that th
e Company has defined for event escalation.
<< Insert the threshold that must be met and the individual steps to follow for
escalating unresolved business interruptions and problems to disaster status. >>

maintained for all software licensed by the Company. Before new software can be
put into service, it must be entered into the SDCS by the IT department. Regula
r audits of employee computers will be performed to ensure compliance. A complet
e copy of all SDCS data shall be maintained off Company property and updated on
a regular basis.
2.1.1 Check-in Procedures
Software shall undergo a check-in procedure, including all downloadable, virtual
, online, ASP or hosted-application forms. All software, regardless of its form
or the media on which it is delivered, shall be entered in the SDCS. This proced
ure is subject to change based on the individual software licensing requirements
; however, all software shall have a record of entry in the SDCS regardless of i
ts physical form.
Check-in shall include, but is not limited to:
Providing proof of purchase.
Providing proof of license.

s delivered virtually.
Providing copies of all licenses, serial numbers, activation keys, IDs, password
s, logins or other information required to run the software or application.
Submitting a complete set of information concerning the software you want to lic
ense and install will ensure a faster entry into the SDCS and approval for the u
se of the software.
<< Insert additional descriptions of the tasks to be performed. >>
2.2 Inventory Audits
Company shall conduct periodic audits of all software licenses to ensure complia
nce and integrity of our software inventory data. Regular checks of employee sof

zed elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the inter
ests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to s
end out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surv
eys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a reg
ular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special e
ditions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something
we are doing. <<Company>> never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third
parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users lik
e and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individua
l users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us cont
inue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search
function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track
which terms a particular user enters.
<<Company>> creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns
for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are perti
nent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual use
rs, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their
ad. We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to com
ply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety
of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
<<Company>> uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit y
our needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics
. This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information a
bout individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law
or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the pu
blic.

l and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodi
cally reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have ac
cess to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely al
leviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our use
rs

Introduction to Safe Harbor


The European Commission s Directive on Data Protection (October, 1998) prohibits t
he transfer of Personal Data to non-European Union nations that do not meet the
European adequacy standard for privacy protection. In order to bridge these differ
ent privacy approaches and provide a streamlined means for U.S. organizations to
comply with the Directive, the U.S. Department of Commerce, in consultation wit
h the European Commission, developed a "Safe Harbor" framework. The Safe Harbor
approved by the EU in July of 2000 is a way for U.S. companies to avoid experien
cing difficulties with their dealings with the EU or potentially facing prosecut
ion by EU authorities under European privacy laws.
<<Company>> Safe Harbor Privacy Policy
<<Company>> (hereinafter referred to as "Company") values individual privacy an
d respects the privacy of its customers, clients, employees, vendors, partners,

d upholds the strictest ethical standards in its practice of business. This Safe
Harbor Privacy Policy (the "Policy") sets forth the privacy principles that <<C
ompany>> follows with respect to private and Personal Data transferred from the
European Union (EU) to the United States.
Compliance with Safe Harbor
The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed
on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (the "Saf
e Harbor Principles") to enable U.S. companies to satisfy the "adequacy standard
" requirement under EU law that protection be given to Personal Data transferred
from the EU to the United States. Consistent with its commitment to protect per
sonal privacy, <<Company>> adheres to the following Safe Harbor Principles:

SPAM / UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL EMAIL (UCE) POLICY
The purpose of this document (hereafter referred to as the Spam / UCE Pol

mercial Email, Unsolicited Bulk Email ( UBE ) and/or Spam as set forth by the defini
tions below. Company maintains a zero tolerance policy regarding Spam/UCE and moni
tors all activity conducted on Company servers, mail services, applications, and
other resources. Any customers found to be using Company resources to engage in
sending Spam /UCE shall have their access or account(s) immediately terminated.

Policy Agreements
1. Definitions.
For consideration, Company defines the following terms:
a)

Definition of Spam/Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE).

Spam is unsolicited email sent to recipients who have neither requested such inf
ormation or with whom no pre-existing business relationship exists. For the purp
ose of this policy, the terms Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) and Unsolicited
Bulk Email (UBE shall be interchangeable).
b)
Definition of Commercial Email.

Commercial Email (Legitimate Commercial Email) is email sent to recipients who h


ave requested such information (Consent or Opt-in) or with whom a pre-existing b
usiness relationship exists.
c)
Definition of Intentional Spam/UCE.
Intentional Spam/UCE is electronic email sent from a computer in which the compu
ter owner willfully and knowingly engages in the direct sending of Spam/UCE from
one or more accounts or computers. Intentional Spam/UCE carries an immediate su
spension of all access and privileges provided by Company and may result in crim
inal or civil prosecution under the law.
d)
Definition of Unintentional Spam /UCE.
Unintentional Spam/UCE is electronic email sent from a computer in which the com
puter owner neither intends nor willingly knows that they are sending out Spam/U
CE. In most cases, this is due to the computer being infected with a virus or th
e machine becoming a zombie and sending out email on behalf of a spammer and no lo
nger under the computer owner s direct control. Unintentional Spam/UCE may carry a
n immediate suspension of all access and privileges provided by Company in order
to safeguard systems and services; however, it will not result in criminal or c
ivil prosecution by Company. Instead, Company will try to work with computer own
er to bring about a resolution to the sending of Unintentional Spam/UCE by the c
omputer owner.
e)
Definition of Pre-existing Business Relationship.
A pre-existing business relationship is one where the recipient has made either
a purchase or a request for information; responded to a direct mail piece, conte
st entry, survey, or questionnaire; or had some sort of offline contact with you
r business or staff.
f)

Definition of Consent.

Consent ( Informed Consent ) is defined as verifiable notification by your recipient


that the collection and use of their email address is agreeable and the recipie
nt has consented prior to such collection and use.
2. Federal Anti-Spam law (Can-Spam Law).
Company adheres to the laws and provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which st
ates:
All commercial emails must now contain:
proper header, routing, and subject line information;
the physical address of the company doing the mailing;
a proper label for adult content*; and
an opt-out mechanism.
The content is exempt if it consists of:
religious messages;
content that broadly complies with the marketing mechanisms specified in the law
; or
national security messages.
If a recipient chooses to opt out, the sender has ten days to cease sending comm
ercial email to the recipient, or risk further emails to the recipient being lab
el as Spam/UCE under the law. The sender is not required to remove the address f
rom the sender s list or database under this law, but just has to cease and desist
sending any and all commercial email to the recipient. The CAN-SPAM Act also re
stricts the sale or other transfer of an email address after a recipient has mad
e an opt-out request. The requirement under this law is that the sender "must b
e able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days.
Further, under the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, use of any automated means to register
for multiple email accounts from which to send Spam/UCE further compounds and co
nstitutes additional violations.

A full copy of the CAN-SPAM Act is available on the FTC web site at: http://frwe
bgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=108_cong_public_laws
&docid=f:publ187.108.pdf

all state laws. The penalties can include fines and/or imprisonment for up to f
ive (5) years.
3. Excessive Use of Services.
Company may impose an additional charge or restriction of services at any time t
hat Customer s use of any Email, Hosting, or ISP Services imposes a considerable e
ffect on Company resources or system performance. Company shall have sole discre
tion as to what constitutes excessive use and what activity is considered a viol
ation of either the Company Acceptable Use Policy, or level of service that the
Customer is currently using. Company is responsible for monitoring such excessiv
e use for the account as a whole, and has no responsibility for identifying a cu
stomer s individual end-user, employee, or other agent who may or may not be respo
nsible for the excessive use of services. This includes the sending or receiving
of Unintentional Spam as defined in Section 1 of this policy.
4. Additional Policies Regarding Email.
The following email practices or activities are also prohibited by Company and m
ay result in termination and/or criminal or civil prosecution.
