    Balancing the Privacy Needs and Rights of Two or More Members

    Please note that as a general policy, JuzFrens does not review the content of private e-mail messages or screen the Profiles posted by JuzFrens members (although it may periodically review the information posted in the public areas of the service) and accepts no responsibility for resolving disputes between members.

    JuzFrens receives communications from members concerning other members. These may be testimonials, complaints or general information. JuzFrens aims to be as open as possible with all its members, without compromising the privacy of any individuals.

    If you complain about another member, we may advise that member that a complaint about him / her has been received. However, we will not tell the member who made the complaint without your express permission. Further, if we suspect that the member would be able to identify who made the complaint, we will not advise that a complaint has been made unless we have your express permission.

    When a complaint about a member is received, no action will be taken unless the complaint is substantiated by evidence. However, a record of the complaint may be made and included in the data held about that member.

    Communications between two members will be released to either member on request. They will not be released to third parties.

    If another member has written 'private notes' about you, JuzFrens considers that those notes were written for that member's use only, and to display them to others would be a violation of that member's privacy. Those notes will not as a rule; be released to you, even if you request all information held by JuzFrens about you.

     

    JuzFrens staff use of and access to information held by JuzFrens

    JuzFrens employees and contractors may also be members of the site, and their employment may give them access to information not generally available to other members of JuzFrens or the general public.

    The following code governs the behaviour of JuzFrens employees and contractors:

    They will not use personal contact information or other personal information held by JuzFrens for any purpose other than the performance of their jobs.

    They may post profiles, but will not send SMS or take other proactive steps, which may be construed as encouraging members to spend money contacting them.

    If they wish to contact another JuzFrens member, they will do so by email through the JuzFrens system, at no cost to the JuzFrens member.

    On first contact with another member, whether initiated by the employee / contractor or by the other member, they will make it known that they are employees of JuzFrens.

    Where another member has unknowingly paid to initiate contact with a JuzFrens employee or contractor, the employee or contractor will also offer a refund should the member desire.
