I forgot to mention this at the last meeting - apologies...
I think the web site needs to have a privacy statement fairly
urgently. Experience is that people will (understandably) be wary
about registering their personal details unless they have confidence
about how the information will be used.
There are a number of helpful resources for developing a privacy
statement tailored to our needs.
Two of the best are:
http://www.truste.org/wizard - gives a means of generating your own
statement according to what you will be using the info for
http://www.truste.com/bus/pub_resourceguide.html - has downloadable
model statement
It's increasingly common for commerce sites to have a link to the
privacy statement in the footer of _every_ page of the site (see
Amazon for example). I'm not sure how straightforward this would be
to achieve on the MO template (depends on the authoring tool, I
guess).
Cheers, David
