Our Commitment to You
We, at YWAMers Reunited, understand and respect that your privacy should always remain strictly under your control. It is because of this philosophy that you can be confident that the information you divulge to YWAMers Reunited will not be accessible to people whom you have not authorised. Neither will it be sold or otherwise distributed to third parties other than in accordance with this policy without your consent. YWAMers Reunited is not a source of unsolicited email.

Your Privacy Guatanteed
To protect your privacy, all e-mails are sent via YWAMers Reunited. Your e-mail address will only be shown if you send, or reply to a message. Plus, we don't send unsolicited e-mail and we NEVER pass your details onto other companies.

1. What personal details do you need to know?

The minimum of information we ask for YWAMers Reunited is your full name, your e-mail address, the year you completed your DTS, the base where you completed your DTS. You can also choose to provide some optional notes about yourself ("Registration Information"). You may update this information at any time by simply logging into your member profile and updating the details as you wish.

2. When is my information given out?

Your information is NOT given out without your prior knowlegde. Fully subscribed members are unable to view your 'sensitive' personal profile details. To protect your e-mail address from spamming, we do NOT directly make your e-mail address available to anyone on any part of the YWAMers Reunited website. The only legitimate way of making contact with a friend found on the YWAMers Reunited Service is for a 'fully subscribed' member to enter a message which we will send on the member's behalf. The recipient will receive the message and the sender's e-mail address to enable them to send a reply.

3. What do you use my personal details for?

We will use your e-mail address to contact you from time to time and we will use your eimail address for security reasons to confirm that you are who you say you are. We also collect other data, which may include your IP address and what browser you are using for statistical purposes, to monitor site usage, to better improve the compatibility of our website and your internet browser settings. It is compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis only.

We, and (where relevant) our credit card processing agents, as a matter of policy, will NOT sell, rent or lend ANY of your personal data to a third party for commercial exploitation - thus, you can rest assured that we will not sell the lists of our Members' e-mail addresses to a third party; and the only circumstances in which we will provide ANY of your personal data to a third party for non-commercial purposes without your consent are those contained in this Privacy Policy.

However, the following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be used in the normal routine to provide our range of services to you...


A. Newsletters - We have regular and occasional e-mails, which members can decide to receive or not, according to their preferences. This option is selected through your member profile.

B. Credit Card information - To ensure the security of your Credit Card information, we have decided to use Paypal, who operate a secure server, to process our credit card payments. They encrypt members' credit or debit card information and authorise payment directly. This means that members' credit card details are never revealed to us.
