Electronic Mail

Ethics and Appropriate Practice

The transmission of unsolicited electronic mail should only occur where the recipient can be identified as having a high probability of having a particular interest in the subject matter. Electronic mail should not be sent in such a way as to harass the recipient. If a recipient indicates that they do not wish to receive further messages from Passionflower, then no further messages should be sent. Recipients have the right to unsubscribe from Passionflower's electronic mailing at anytime.

It is expected that all electronic mail communications will be expressed professionally and courteously, in a manner that is not likely to cause unnecessary offence.

Legal Framework and External Agreements

Users of electronic mail must be aware that electronic mail is subject to the full range of laws applying to other communications, including copyright, breach of confidence, defamation, privacy, contempt of court, harassment, vilification and anti-discrimination legislation, the creation of contractual obligations, and criminal laws. Electronic mail can be the subject of a subpoena or legal discovery order. The use of electronic email including sensitive personal information, may be subject to the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW), the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth).

Some laws and agreements require Passionflower to give access to electronic mail and information about electronic mail to external parties. These include telecommunications legislation, freedom of information legislation, other legal rules (e.g. concerning subpoenas), and agreements with external Internet suppliers that govern the transmission of email.

The storage and communication of electronic mail in and by Passionflower computer and telecommunications systems are protected by criminal law provisions in computer crime laws and telecommunications interception laws.
