Privacy Policy

At present, The Augustan Society, Inc., has no formal privalcy policy. One may hope that the Board of Directors will adopte one.

That said, the Society has a long tradition of confidentiality, consistent with the principles of chivalry which we espouse. As such, the bias is always against release of data absent a compelling and just reason.

Consular practice is to never reveal any member data other than to confirm their membership. Messages received for members will be directed to them using the same medium after staff review to eliminate spam, unwarranted advertising, and harassment.

It has been proposed that no piece of paper, floppy disk, CD, or DVD with member's names or contact information leave the Headquarters or the file annex except that it be shredded. This proposal has been vetoed by one of the Consuls.

It is the policy of the technical committee that no hard drive will leave Headquarters or the file annex except that the data thereon be scrubbed using dBan. Should the hard drive fail in such a way that this is not possible, physical destruction of the platters is required.
