This document has been reviewed and updated for compatibility with the UK GDPR. 

​

Electronic media must not be used for knowingly transmitting, retrieving, or storing any communication that is:

1. discriminatory or harassing

3. obscene or pornographic

4. defamatory or threatening

5. engaged in any purpose that is illegal or contrary to the organisation's policy or business interests.

There are many reasons in today's environment to be wary of email that seems in any way suspicious. Some email messages might be phishing scams; some might contain viruses and other malicious software. Files within the messages can contain inappropriate images and include web beacons, which can be used to secretly send a message back to the sender. If an email looks suspicious or inappropriate then we will report suspected phishing or spam to the relevant authorities. Senders will be blocked from sending further messages to the charity.
