ARTICLE I – PURPOSE

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Technology Access Policy ("Policy") is to establish rules concerning access to information technology resources in use by Wikimedia District of Columbia ("Corporation").

1. No Personal Use. Email addresses issued by the Corporation on a domain name owned by the Corporation ("Corporation email addresses") shall only be used for conducting the official business of the Corporation. No personal use of Corporation email addresses is permitted.

2. Persons Assigned Email Addresses. Officers and Directors of the Corporation, staff members, and contractors shall be assigned Corporation email addresses by the Secretary.

3. Revoking Email Addresses. The Secretary shall revoke access to Corporation email addresses from any person who no longer satisfies the conditions of Article II, Paragraph 2, following a 90 day period, unless such person remains involved in the Corporation's activities in a different capacity.

ARTICLE III – PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

1. Definition. Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") refers to information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, including, but not limited to, their name, social security number, biometric records, credit card information, date or place of birth, mother’s maiden name, or other information that either alone, or in combination with other personal or identifying information is linked or linkable to a specific individual.
