Mailing List Archive
Mailing List: cavers
GDPR Notice
This archive contains copies of messages posted to the cavers mailing list
which was active in the period from 1993-2004.
Information that we collect
While the list was active, we collected subscribers' email addresses that we used
to distribute subsequent postings to.
Following cessation of operation of the list, we deleted all subscribers'
email addresses.
All members of the mailing list took explicit personal action by means of sending
email to the mailing list server in order to subscribe
themselves to the list and were able to unsubscribe themselves at at any time
through the mailing list server, the address of which was included in every
list message. Unsubscribing had the effect of deleting a subscriber's email
address from our subscription list.
No log was kept of users' subscription and unsubscription records.
Postings to the Mailing List
It was understood that the operation of the mailing list was to forward all posted
messages by email to all list subscribers.
It was announced to the mailing list (as can be seen in the
first message in the archive)
that all messages posted to the mailing list would also be archived and be
WWW-searchable.
Users were free to include or not include any personal information they saw fit
in the messages they posted to the list.
This WWW list archive tool allows for search and display of the messages that
were posted to the list. As an anti-spam protection mechanism, all email addreses
(except the list's own addresses) are partially obscured when displayed on this
WWW archive tool.
All other personal information, however, is displayed as it was posted.
Copies of postings forwarded by email to list subscribers were sent unchanged
in their entirety, including full email addresses.
Server logs
The email and web servers maintain normal activity logs which are rotated and
automatically deleted after a few weeks. We only have the most recent
few weeks of these activity logs.
Right of Access
We no longer hold any information on list subscribers.
Historical Postings to the List
A user can discover all their messages in the archive by using the archive's
search tool to find
messages from a specific author.
Right to Erasure
We no longer hold any information on list subscribers.
Historical Postings to the List
Postings that were sent to the list while it was active form part of a body
of historical data relevant to both public health and scientific research.
Under the GDPR, we are exempt from having to remove data which falls into
this category. Since inclusion of personal data in postings was entirely a
poster's own choice, any personal data you included in your postings is also
covered under this exemption.
Please Note: All messages in this archive were also immediately
forwarded by email to all the list subscribers and many of those recipients
may still have those emails and may even be archiving them on the WWW.
We no longer have any way of contacting those third parties and we have no
control over what they do with their copy of the list messages.
