Confidentiality
A clear and prominent confidentially disclaimer in an email disclaimer ensures the content of the email is for the intended recipient only and if the email is sent to the wrong recipient the contents should be kept quiet and deleted. This ensures the email content will not be misused.
Protection from error
If an email is sent in error disastrous consequences could ensue. A proficient email disclaimer can protect against misuse of content and information in the email.
Reduce liability
Using a disclaimer can reduce the risk of an employer being liable for the acts of its employees if it shown the employer had a clear policy regarding email.
Please note this will not provide complete protection and has yet to be fully tested in the Australian courts. However the use of an email disclaimer is fundamental to risk management and best practice for a company.
