Digital Security
Website Security and Personal Information
A Message from the Combined Probus Club of Cherrybrook Committee
At the Combined Probus Club of Cherrybrook, we understand that privacy and security are critical concerns for our members, especially when using online platforms. Many of our members are cautious about sharing personal information online—and rightly so. With frequent reports of data breaches, scams, and identity theft, it is essential that we provide a safe and secure digital environment that gives you confidence in using our website.
How We Protect Your Information
We want to reassure all members that we take your privacy and security seriously. Our approach ensures that your personal information remains protected while still allowing you to engage with the club’s activities online. Here’s how we do it:
1. Secure Content Storage
a. All member-related information is stored securely and is never shared with third parties.
b. We only collect essential details needed for club activities, such as event registrations.
2. Access Limited to Authenticated Members
a. Certain content is restricted and can only be accessed by authenticated members.
b. This ensures that club-related information is not visible to the general public, protecting our members' privacy.
3. Passwords Remain Private
a. Each member creates and manages their own password; no one—including the website administrator—can see or retrieve it.
b. If a password is forgotten, members can reset it securely without requiring committee assistance, maintaining full control over their own login credentials.
4. Simple and Safe Authentication
a. Our login process is straightforward and maintains a high level of security.
b. We have balanced ease of access with security by avoiding complex multi-factor authentication (which can be challenging for some members) while still ensuring protection from unauthorised access.
5. Trusted Communication
a. Official club emails are always sent from a recognised email domain to prevent phishing attempts.
b. We encourage members to be cautious about unexpected or suspicious emails and to report anything unusual to the committee.
Your Privacy is Our Priority
Our goal is to provide a secure, accessible, and easy-to-use digital platform where members can confidently participate in club activities. If you have any questions or concerns about online security, please feel free to reach out to the committee—we’re here to help.
Taking these proactive measures ensures that our club’s digital presence remains safe and welcoming for all members.
