Welcome to the Product Data Management Initiative

By signing this document, you acknowledge and consent that when you access Department of Defense (DoD) information systems:

You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) (which includes any device attached to this IS) that is for USG-authorized use only.

You consent to the following conditions:

• The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications occurring on this IS, and any device attached to this IS, for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, communications security (COMSEC) monitoring, network operations and defense, quality control, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations.
• At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS.
• Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose.
• This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personnel benefit or privacy.
• Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE, or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential.

All of the above conditions apply regardless of whether the access or use of an IS includes the display of a Notice and Consent Banner ("banner"). When a banner is used, the banner functions to remind the user of the conditions that are set forth in this User Agreement, regardless of whether the banner describes these conditions in full detail or provides a summary of such conditions, and regardless of whether the banner expressly references this User Agreement.
