e-Communications Policy
This Policy was designed to communicate the readers
of this page, and subscribers of the Institute Inbrief eZine,
our express commitment to protect their personal information
and ensure the quality of this publication.
Collection of Personal Information
The Institute Inbrief eZine subscription system
is done via an opt-in (permission-based) mechanism. We do
not purchase mailing lists or include email addresses in
our database without the consent of the account holder. The
database is constantly being updated and under strict management
in order to ensure the integrity of the system, and to comply
with our Anti-Spam Policy (more information below).
Distribution of Personal Information
The use of your information will be restricted to the provision
of the services that are characterised on this webpage. If
there are Legal requirements to access your personal data,
you will be informed before the event is conducted.
We will never sell, distribute or share your personal information
with any other businesses unless you expressly consent otherwise.
Email Content
We will not include religious, political, racist, or any
content we deem offensive to any of our readers. This is
an exercise of common sense and interpretation, but we are
committed to thoroughly monitor the content which is proposed
for publication, and to ensure that the approval processes
are done in a clear, concise and congruent manner.

content, please click here.
Advertising and Third-Party Information
Although the eZine generally does not include external advertising
and third-party information, it may contain advertising and
other type of information about third-party companies. Usually,
the information will be linked to their website with the
purpose of providing convenience to our readers. AIPC is
not responsible for the information provided by these companies,
whether in our webpage or theirs.
Nevertheless, we will revise relevant information before
publishing any details at the website. This process will
occur in order to protect our users for viewing any type
of inappropriate content.
Anti-Spam Policy
The Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC)
is committed to permission-based e-mail marketing practices,
and as a result has established this zero-tolerance Anti-Spam
Policy.
AIPC conforms to the Spam Act 2003, Australia's
anti-spam law enforced by The Australian Communications and
Media Authority (ACMA) and we do not condone the transmission,
distribution or delivery of any unsolicited bulk or unsolicited
commercial e-mail ("Spam").
To ensure our emails are legal, AIPC will:
- Always include your email address in the e-mail message.
- Ensure our subject lines are descriptive in nature about
the content of the e-mail.
- Ensure our "Reply" address is active
- Will display an unsubscribe link in every e-mail.
- Will honor unsubscribe requests within ten days.
We do not commit any of the following e-mail offences:
- Use or contain invalid or forged headers;
- Use or contain invalid or non-existent domain names;
- Employ any technique to otherwise misrepresent, hide
or obscure any information in identifying the point of
origin or the transmission path;
- Use other means of deceptive addressing;
- Use a third party's internet domain name, or be relayed
from or through a third party's equipment, without permission
of the third party;
- Contain false or misleading information in the subject
line or otherwise contain false or misleading content;
- Fail to comply with additional policies and procedures
described below.
- Condone the harvesting, removal or collection of e-mail
addresses or other information from or through e-mail Hosting
Services.
AIPC imposes penalties on Affiliates who do not comply:
If AIPC or our Clients confirm that our Affiliates are guilty
of sending unsolicited Spam, we may, without notice, take
such action as we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate,
including blocking messages from a particular internet domain,
mail server or IP address.
On receiving notification of a valid Spam complaint, and
it is the first complaint of this nature, we will issue Affiliates
with a warning and advise them to conform to the ACMA Spam
Act 2003. On receiving notification of a second Spam
complaint, we will immediately withhold any payment and terminate
any Affiliate account linked to transmitting or is otherwise
connected with any e-mail that violates this policy.
Should you wish to report any incidences of Spam, please
contact us at webmaster@aipc.net.au.
