Network Traffic Logs

In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all users, YBOA employs software programs to do such things as monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic information, detect computer viruses and other software that might damage YBOA computers or the network, and monitor and tune the performance of the YBOA network.  In the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information as e-mail headers, addresses from network packets, and other information.  Information from these activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and performance of YBOA's networks and computers systems.  Personally identifiable information from these activities is not released to external parties without your consent unless required by law.
