Foreword

This Code of Conduct sets out the way in which the University of Twente handles ICT and use of the internet. The Code provides for the sensible use of ICT facilities and the internet and the way in which the use is monitored. The ambition is to achieve a satisfactory balance between a sensible and safe use of ICT and the internet and the privacy of the user.

Because a separate Code of Conduct for the use of ICT and the internet by students will be drawn up, this code is not applicable to students who make use of the ICT and internet facilities of the University of Twente.

In preparing this code of conduct, we have linked up with the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act (WBP). This Act is applicable if processing of personal data is involved. Processing concerns the entire process from collecting to destroying data. Data concerning email and internet use can generally be qualified as personal data because these can be traced to natural persons.
