We do not pay lip service to privacy. As servicemen
we understand it is important and give it full respect. Don't expect
your details to be made public or sold to advertisers. If you ever
receive emails from a commercial organisation claiming to have an
association with proud2serve, they are lying.
With proud2serve you can be confident that your data
is private. If you are not out to friends or to colleagues in the Royal
Navy, Army,
Royal Air Force or Royal Marines, and are using shared computers, don't
forget to take basic precautions. Keep your email password and proud2serve
logon details private and only accessible by you, and don't forget
to logout of proud2serve
rather than just closing the browser window when you
have finished using the public forum or the chatroom. You might
want
to
think about
deleting
temporary
internet
files and the
web browser's
history and cookies to remove any possible trace.
