| 6.0 Special Approval for European Union (EU) Users
Due to privacy concerns within the EU, special approvals and consents from the 1836 Technologies Personnel must be undertaken before a deep packet inspection is started. 1836 Technologies ITS will first ask the affected 1836 Technologies Personnel permission to conduct a further analysis of their packet payloads to determine the cause of the alert. The user will then be informed of their options, and if they agree to the inspection, they will be required to complete the attached EU Consent Form. If the user consents to ITS inspecting the packet payload, ITS will then examine the packets captured. If the user denies ITS’ request, the user may be disconnected from the 1836 Technologies Network if it is determined that his/her computer will continue to pose a risk to the 1836 Technologies Network.
