PPRUNE change of Privacy Policy

[lame]

You say they can go back as much as a decade.

I have not posted for years but maybe I will have to watch out, not that I ever posted anything controversial.

You can opt out of IB's policy and any risk of being spamed by completing their form HERE.

I don't know why they require First and Last Name as that information was not required when originally registering with PPRuNe. I suspect IB will get a number of forms from Donald Duck, James Bond etc.

We may engage third parties to perform services on our behalf, including maintenance services, analytics and data analysis, payment processing, assisting in marketing efforts, email and text message distribution, customer service and conducting surveys.

And where are these third parties domiciled is always a good question to ask.

Tail Wheel,

I am confused, yes I am getting old so no big surprise, but IF someone is worried about IB's new privacy policy, being spammed and/or this horrid SLAPP business why on Earth would you give them your real name???

[tail wheel]

Perhaps I was making a subtle suggestion?

airsupport. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Any process to identify and prosecute a PPRuNe user would require an aggreived party to serve a SLAPP Subpoena on IB in California. That would result in your profile details (including registration email address) and your posting IP addresses being released.

Presuming your registration email address did not lead directly to you, the aggreived party would then need to commence an action in an Australian Court requiring your ISP to reveal the name and address of the users of those IP addresses.

A long winded and expensive exercise..........

IF you fill in your name as Donald Duck or James Bond they still want your email address.

Yes, they need the email address you already have in your PPRuNe profile in order to identify who is opting out........

Dutchroll, right now the Labor and Greens are screaming blue murder about Reinhart taking a major seat on Fairfax press. Yes the lady has conservative leanings, but I somehow believe that had she had left leanings, the concern would be little, in fact embraced by the said Greens and Labor, your mob are no saints, Slipper, Thomson, they have the morals of a alley cat. My mob are probably little better, the difference being your mob are in govt. And the polls favour my mob not yours, in fact they are bumping along the bottom, and your PM shooting her mouth off yesterday making a total goose of herself does not help. Carbon tax, Australia Day fiasco, leadership challenges, lies, spin, on and on it goes. I admire your dedication, but your backing a horse on three legs. Not good odds. Thank God I can still blog this without fear, but with your mobs idea of controlling the press it won't be for much longer.

For all those concerned of legal implications, cast your mind back to 89. The blogs on that were a Lawyers dream, accusations, death threats, suicides, physical assault, that fight went on for years into the nineties, pilots refusing to fly with S$^BS fisti cups at a social gathering in BNE (I was there) you name it, it was said. To my knowledge no legal action. Then there was QF's little "incident" BKK, once more the armchair critics came out, accusations etc and once more to my knowledge no legal action. Followed by the gas bottle incident and the A380 which only brought admiration for both crews. Its personal things that cause trouble not calling the CP a goose, that should only cause tea and bickies. (I should know!) And as long as you have called no one a Po^%t$r, insulted their families, mentioned their childrens names, or indeed their address, deleved into their private lives, given info that might endanger that person or their family, calling them a goose is quite acceptable, (for now).

Who cares what IB think?

I will say what I like here and they can come and get me, if they can.
