At WRAACReunited we believe strongly in protecting the privacy of our Members' personal information. This is a legal document that sets out how WRAACReunited, handles data which identifies you. You should read it in conjunction with the WRAACReunited Terms and Conditions, of which this Privacy Policy forms part. WRAACReunited deals with the collection, security, use, disclosure of, and access to, personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (C'th)

1. Emails and communications.

You are probably most interested in how we will use your email address to communicate with you, so here's our email promise, in plain English:

Service Emails. The team at WRAACReunited hates spam and will never ever send you unsolicited emails. But there are some emails that we will need to send you to provide you with a good WRAACReunited service. These include notifications that you have a message from an old friend, reminders about your membership and guides on how to use the site. A typical list of the types of emails you will receive to help you use the service most effectively (which we call Service Emails) are shown below:

¨      Validation email - the email we use to verify your email address when you first register

¨      Welcome emails - emails which explain how to use the site when you first join

¨      Key service messages - if we need to notify you about changes to the service

¨      New message notification and reminders - when you receive messages from old friends

¨      Request emails to become Friends with other WRAACReunited members

¨      Requests to join your friend’s groups

¨      Notes/profile/comments/photo and video approval notification

As well as these Service Emails, you will also receive Group Alerts. These emails genuinely help you make the most of the website and let you know when there are new and interesting things happening in the Groups to which you belong or own. Here's a bit more about them:

If at anytime you decide you don't want to receive the Emails and Notification, all you need to do is uncheck the radio buttons in your Profile page. Your Profile page can be accessed from ”Community” on the website once you're logged in. Simply click the "Profile” tab and go to "Privacy".

Emailing through the WRAACReunited. We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of  WRAACReunited. The only legitimate way of making contact with a friend found on the WRAACReunited, is for a Member to enter a message that we will send on the Member's behalf. We will notify the addressee Member, using the email address she has provided to us that WRAACReunited is holding an email for her, and the Member can collect the email when logged in to the Site. Members may check and (if required) change the email address we hold for them at any time through thier Profile.  Sent and received email may appear in a Member's Inbox on the Site for an indefinite period - we do not delete it after any specific period. However, this does not mean that we will retain your email forever; there may come a time when we will need to delete some or all of it, for technical or other reasons. In this event, we will endeavour to give you advance warning that we are going to do so.

Email communications to non members. WRAACReunited members can invite Australian former or currently servicewomen friends to join the WRAACReunited service by email via our automated email service. WRAACReunited will store the non members email addresses provided by the member for invite purposes only. These non member addresses will not be stored on our database for longer than required for invite purposes. This data will also not be sold or passed on to a third party. Non member recipients of these communications can request the removal of their information from our database at any time by contacting WRAACReunited.
