naa:UsageCondition

An indication that some kind of limitation or restriction has been placed on how a record may be used by staff within an agency or by the general public.

This element protects a record against any form of unauthorised use (including unauthorised disclosure), or any use that may place the owner or creator of a record (either a corporate entity or an individual) at a disadvantage. It helps an agency ensure that the records for which it is responsible are not used in ways that contravene copyright or privacy restrictions, or that will cause damage to specific business or domain interests.

Some Usage Conditions may be system-enforceable and will require specific usage types to be included under element M71 USE HISTORY, subelement M74 Use Type, to track authorised usage and unauthorised attempts at usage over time.
