Use of Company Systems

All Amgen computers, electronic mail, voice mail, networks, Internet access, and other Amgen systems, including the Amgen Web (collectively “Amgen Systems”), are provided for business use by authorized staff only. Authorized individuals may access the Internet through Amgen Systems for limited personal use provided that such use: (i) does not violate any Amgen policy or constitute unlawful conduct; (ii) does not interfere with job duties, responsibilities or performance; (iii) is done before or after work or during unpaid meal breaks and does not result in Amgen regular, overtime or premium pay to the staff member due to such use of the Internet; (iv) does not interfere with other staff members or individuals who are using, or attempting to use, Amgen Systems for appropriate business reasons; and (v) does not constitute any form of employment or business activity other than for Amgen.

All Amgen Systems and the data stored on them, including, but not limited to, electronic messages and telephone records, are and remain at all times the property of Amgen. All messages created, sent, received and stored over Amgen Systems are and remain the property of Amgen. The Company may inspect files and messages, including, but not limited to, electronic and voice mail messages, monitor Internet usage (including specific sites), and otherwise access and monitor Amgen Systems, at any time with or without advance notice or consent by the user, as the Company deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

Therefore, confidentiality or privacy should not be expected when using Amgen Systems, even if those messages are erased or deleted.

In certain situations, staff members are required to use passwords. Passwords are designed to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s business-related information and to give (and to limit) access to Amgen Systems. Passwords will not, however, prevent the Company from accessing any information or data on Amgen Systems. Therefore, individuals should not expect confidentiality or privacy with respect to data created, stored, sent or accessed on an Amgen System requiring a password. In addition, in order to adequately safeguard the Company’s information, staff members should not reveal to anyone any password used in connection with Amgen Systems. A simple rule for individuals to follow is this: If you don’t want the Company to see or know about something, do not communicate it, store it, or access it using Amgen Systems.

It is against Company policy to create, send, display or receive offensive or disruptive material on any Amgen Systems. Offensive or disruptive material includes, but is not limited to, indecent, offensive, harassing or sexually oriented materials, regardless of whether anyone is offended by, or even sees or knows about, the material.
