The use of on-line forms by our users allow for expedient feedback from surveys, questionnaires, and interrogatories; and convenient subscription to our newsletter. We take reasonable measures to guaranteeing the security and validity of the afore mentioned on-line forms.

The purposes for use of on-line forms have two categories. The first category applies to on-line forms addressing official Coral Seas business. Official business forms relate directly to the workings, dealings, process, and development of the organization. These forms will require the submission of personal information so as to account for each participating member. Acess to information from these forms is restricted to the Coral Seas Board of Trustees and Executive Officers.

The second category of form types consists of opinion polls or general interrogatories. On-line forms such as these are open to the general user community. Submitting personal information on these forms is optional. We will not reveal any personal information that users provide to us to any third party without their expressed consent.

When interrogatories are sent to Coral Seas we will store the question and e-mail address to be able to electronically respond in a timely manner. We may choose to use publish only the questions from interrogatories in our FAQ's if it benefits the user community. We do not publicly disclose senders of interrogatories. We will not pursue the tracking of personal information from those who send interrogatories. If the sender wishes to supply such information then it is at their discretion.
