Please be assured that when you submit any details to us through this
site such as your name and e-mail address, the information will be held
in the strictest confidence. If your query needs to be answered by a
particular branch officer such as a membership enquiry then your details
will be passed to that branch officer who will then respond directly to
you. If the enquiry concerns contacting a local rep, then your details
will be forwarded to a local rep who will respond to
you directly. These details will only be stored for as long as is necessary to
answer your enquiry and will then be deleted. By submitting your name
and e-mail address to us through the use of an online form or by direct
e-mail to us you will not be subscribed to our mailing list and you will
not be added to any other database. The exception to this is if you
submit an online form or e-mail informing us of a change of details
regarding your membership when we would have to amend our membership
database and input your new details. You will not be subscribed to our
e-mail mailing list and the only way to be on our list is for you to
subscribe. Please note that this privacy policy is intended to apply
solely to the use of and retention of information received through the
web site and no other. New members are automatically subscribed to our
e-mail newsletter and text alert service if they have supplied these
details.
Mailing List
This web site operates a subscriber
list to our newsletter which has a double opt in method. This means that
when an address is submitted, a confirmation e-mail is sent which must
be responded to before the address can be added to our database. Each
mailing has an un-subscribe option at the bottom of the e-mail. As well
as the newsletter, we will also send you important news and updates as
and when we think it appropriate. We will not sell, rent, pass on or
distribute your e-mail address to any other body including UNISON head
office and will only be used by the Las Branch. You will not receive so
called 'spam' mail from us. The mobile phone number is optional and is
only for subscribing you to our text alert service. You will not receive
telephone calls from us in relation to you submitting your number and it
will only be stored for use with the text alert service. At present our
newsletter list is managed by 'Your Mailing List Provider' and you
should also consult their
privacy policy.
UNISON E-Mail
Addresses
If you are a UNISON representative and have been issued with
an @lasunison.com e-mail address then the above also applies. Your address will be stored by
the webmaster and you may receive mailings from the webmaster, but only
in connection with UNISON, the web site, occasional warnings such as
virus attacks or in connection with your specific account. Your address
will be displayed on the web site for members to contact you. If at any
time you feel your account has been compromised we can change it or
delete it for you. In 2004 we stopped issuing .com e-mail accounts to
stewards and these are reserved for the exclusive use of branch
officials and for the web site. Stewards and activists are encouraged to
sign up for our new .net e-mail service which can be self managed.
LasUnison.Net Accounts
These e-mail accounts are provided for us by Everyone.Net and
are subject to a separate
Privacy Policy.
If you sign up for one of these free
accounts then you are agreeing that the branch may contact you on that
address and can send you newsletters, news updates, benefits and other
information that we think you may find of use as a UNISON member. We
will not sell, rent, pass on or distribute your e-mail address to any
other body including UNISON head office and will only be used by the Las
Branch. You will not receive so called 'spam' mail from us. However, please
be aware that the hosting company Everyone.Net also has your details and
you should read their policy. If you are a steward, health & safety rep,
lifelong learning rep, branch official or any other UNISON activist then
we reserve the right to publish this e-mail address on our web site at
www.lasunison.com. If you are not
an activist and simply a UNISON member then we will not publish your
e-mail address on our web site without your permission.
LasUnison.Biz Accounts
These advanced e-mail accounts are issued
to branch officers on request. They are operated by Google
and you should read their
Privacy Policy.
Prize Draw
From time to time the website
operates a prize draw for various different reasons. If you are one of our prize
draw winners then by accepting the prize you agree to us publishing your
name on our list of winners page at
http://www.lasunison.com/winner.htm and in any other publications
that we may send out from time to time.
If after your name has been published you have good reason for having
your name removed then please notify us in writing.
Text Alert
In 2006 we launched an SMS text
message alert service enabling us to send news and updates direct to
your mobile phone. Please be assured that we will not sell, rent, pass
on or distribute your mobile phone number to any other person,
organisation or entity including UNISON head office. Your number is
stored on the text alert database only (unless you have subscribed via
the newsletter subscription on the website) and will be used for that
purpose only which is to send you news, information and views that the
branch feels you would find of interest. You are able to remove your
number at any time by simply sending an e-mail to the
webmaster@lasunison.com
with your name, mobile number and membership number. Text alert is only
available for current members of the LAS Branch. Our text service is
managed by http://www.24x.com/ and you
should visit their site for further information.
We take your privacy extremely seriously
and if you feel we have breached this policy in any way then please do
not hesitate to contact us at
webmaster@lasunison.com with details.
