The purpose of this guideline is to define the responsibilities of IESE staff regarding the use of IT services, corporate information and the processing of personal data contained therein, so that all users are aware of and consent to the purposes of use and the restrictions of IT services.
‘IT services’ are understood to be all information technology services (computers, tablets, smartphones, multifunction printers, photocopiers, peripherals, associated components and data storage media), any associated software (operating systems, system software and specific applications) and online services (emails, directories, Internet, Intranet, cloud services, videoconferences, audio, videos and similar elements).
All the IT services, as well as the information they contain, are the property of IESE, and their intention is to support the teaching, research and administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the school. IT services are considered an extremely valuable asset which must be protected and used in an appropriate way. Only users explicitly authorised by the company’s management are allowed to use these services.
Access and use of the IT services implies the full and unreserved acceptance of the terms and conditions of use of these services.
All the information to which users have access for the fulfilment of their employment obligations, as well as the IT services that contain said information, are the exclusive property of IESE, and shall be physically returned upon completion of the employment or business contracts with the school.
The staff member agrees to ensure, at all times, the confidentiality of all the information to which they have access, and, consequently, undertakes not to disclose to third parties or to publicly disclose, whether during their professional relationship with IESE or upon expiration or termination of it for any reason, any information relating to personal data, academic records, contracts, technical procedures, specifications, processes, computer programs, data, or technical, commercial or financial information pertaining to IESE to which they may have access during the employment relationship established between the parties.
The disclosure of any confidential information or breach of any of the security measures contained in this document may be deemed a criminal offence, with the employee being liable for any damages arising from their fraudulent or negligent safeguarding or disclosure of information.
IESE guarantees compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) to all data subjects, as well as the implementation of all necessary security measures, which guarantee its confidentiality and integrity.
In addition, the GDPR establishes the obligation to implement the necessary measures so that all staff members are aware of the security rules which affect their jobs, as well as the consequences which could arise from their non-compliance.
Below is the information clause for the processing of personal data for IESE workers and staff members, as well as the main security obligations regarding personal data and the terms and conditions of use of the services (both general and service-specific).
For a more detailed description of the use of a specific service, please consult the user guides available in the IT Services section of the IESE Intranet.

Specific terms and conditions of use of IT services
IESE email accounts have been designed for a strictly professional and non-transferable use, including accounts for departmental or resource-related use. Their use by third parties inside or outside IESE is strictly forbidden.
The Office 365 email service does not provide backup copies, i.e. there is no possibility of recovering a mailbox in its previous state. Therefore, it is recommended to keep classified messages in folders and delete them selectively.
The use of these services for political, illegal or immoral purposes, or for reasons which may disturb public order, is strictly prohibited. The list of prohibited activities includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Sending mass unsolicited marketing communications (spam or serial messages), any type of malicious or harmful communication, or software components such as viruses, trojans, etc.
- Disclosing IESE email addresses to third parties without the explicit consent of their owners.
- Ignoring a data controller and a defined policy of use when working with mailing lists. In addition, by default, and to avoid compromised situations of the reception of spam, only messages from authorised users and internal divisions shall be accepted (for example, Human Resources Division, GEO, Help Desk, etc.).
- Creating mailing lists which include external contacts.
- Imitating, substituting or changing the identity of any person or their email address.
- Distributing illegal, defamatory, obscene or threatening materials which violate the privacy of third parties or which may violate intellectual or industrial property rights, or any other right of third parties.

Inappropriate use or abuse of the email service may result in temporary or permanent deactivation of the account. In this sense, actions may be carried out in the event of incidents which may jeopardise the proper operation of the service.
The deactivation of the account entails the possible elimination of email messages, which at the time are in the server, and the impossibility of receiving new messages until the account is activated again.

Specific terms and conditions of use of IT services
Email
IESE email accounts have been designed for a strictly professional and non-transferable use, including accounts for departmental or resource-related use. Their use by third parties inside or outside IESE is strictly forbidden.
The Office 365 email service does not provide backup copies, i.e. there is no possibility of recovering a mailbox in its previous state. Therefore, it is recommended to keep classified messages in folders and delete them selectively.
The use of these services for political, illegal or immoral purposes, or for reasons which may disturb public order, is strictly prohibited. The list of prohibited activities includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Sending mass unsolicited marketing communications (spam or serial messages), any type of malicious or harmful communication, or software components such as viruses, trojans, etc.
- Disclosing IESE email addresses to third parties without the explicit consent of their owners.
- Ignoring a data controller and a defined policy of use when working with mailing lists. In addition, by default, and to avoid compromised situations of the reception of spam, only messages from authorised users and internal divisions shall be accepted (for example, Human Resources Division, GEO, Help Desk, etc.).
- Creating mailing lists which include external contacts.
- Imitating, substituting or changing the identity of any person or their email address.
- Distributing illegal, defamatory, obscene or threatening materials which violate the privacy of third parties or which may violate intellectual or industrial property rights, or any other right of third parties.
- Storing or saving private emails or any with personal content in IESE mail managers.
- Undertaking any behaviour which directly or indirectly causes or may cause damage, alteration or errors to the proper functioning of IESE email services or technological systems.
- Undertaking any conduct which may violate the provisions contained in current laws, especially those contained in the Criminal Code, Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI, in its Spanish acronym), and the GDPR.
Emails and the Internet may be controlled by the company, so please note that emails may be checked for professional purposes and in order to control the proper use of the resources provided, the perpetration of illegal acts, and the sending of emails of a certain volume over the company’s network.
Inappropriate use or abuse of the email service may result in temporary or permanent deactivation of the account. In this sense, actions may be carried out in the event of incidents which may jeopardise the proper operation of the service.
The deactivation of the account entails the possible elimination of email messages, which at the time are in the server, and the impossibility of receiving new messages until the account is activated again.
