Communication Policy
For communication purposes of the Laboratory we operate an e-mail address list (EMAL) to which we may post some short e-mail messages relevant to the activities of the Laboratory. The entries in this list (EMAL) are e-mail addresses of Groups and of individuals. Only e-mail addresses are included in this list with no other personal details. Any e-mail message posted on any of these Groups is forwarded to every individual e-mail address included in the Group. This forwarding is done either automatically or, usually, after permission from the administrator of the Group. An e-mail message posted to our EMAL will be received in an individual e-mail address as many times as the number of Groups in EMAL this e-mail address is included to. Upon request, we will remove any individual e-mail address from the Groups under our control. However messages may still be received, if the e-mail address is included also in other Groups beyond our control.
Respecting the privacy of other persons we volunteer to the following rules:
These rules will facilitate the automatic treatment (e.g. priority, delete, forward, ...) of our messages.
