How we do it?
- We will use MassMutual property, including facilities, equipment, and technology resources, appropriately and for authorized business purposes.
- We will limit personal use of MassMutual technology resources such as email, telephone systems, and computers, to incidental and appropriate purposes.
- We should have no reasonable expectation of privacy at work. MassMutual tracks and monitors the use of its technology resources.

- Intellectual property created by us while working on behalf of MassMutual is the property of MassMutual.
COMPANY POLICIES
| What’s the issue? | What is it? | What could it look like? | What should I do? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acceptable Use of Technology Resources | Using technology resources — MassMutual-owned hardware, software, applications, networks, systems and devices — for limited, incidental and appropriate personal purposes only. | Spending much of your workday checking social media or shopping online instead of completing your work assignments. | MassMutual understands that sometimes you need to get personal activities done while at work. Too much personal use, however, is an abuse of MassMutual time or resources. Spending most of your workday on social media or shopping online is not limited, incidental, or appropriate use of technology resources. Limit personal use to activities that take a short amount of time to accomplish and don’t interfere with your job responsibilities. For more information, refer to the Technology Acceptable Use Policy. |
| Intellectual Property | Company trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrighted material, and trade secrets. | Using images created by a third party that you found online in an internal presentation. | Never use a third party’s intellectual property without permission. Review the copyright restrictions posted on the third party’s website or check with Law before using someone’s work product. For more information, refer to the Intellectual Property Policy. |
| MassMutual Property | MassMutual provides facilities, equipment and technology resources for business purposes. | You take company supplies, including pens, folders, and notepads for your child to use at school. | MassMutual provides facilities, equipment, and technology resources for business purposes. Using MassMutual property for non-business purposes may be considered theft. |
