Privacy and access

At MyCommittee, we take the privacy of our users very seriously and most of the privacy protections are built-in at the core and cannot be modified.
Although some of your personal information (name/email address) needs to be entered by an administrator in order to add you as a member and send you the first invite, no other users will be able to view your contact information until you actually register with mycommittee and confirm your membership.

(Note: Your committee administrator(s) can always view and edit your contact information)

All organizations are different and to allow flexibility, some privacy settings can be tweaked at the committee level. MyCommittee follows the principle to be ‘secure and private by default’ so all settings are disabled by default for each new committee.

Go to ‘Committee settings’ → ‘Security & privacy’ → ‘Privacy & access’ to change these settings.

A few notes:

• By default, MyCommittee does not include the entire message in message notification emails. If you prefer, you can enable this feature but please note that email is not secure and many email providers (E.g. gmail) will process and try to interpret the content of your emails for marketing purposes.

• You can allow members and guests to view the meeting agenda's and minutes without having to log on. This setting provides less privacy and should only be used for public committees. The setting is 'off' by default meaning members always need to log on and guests have no access to agendas and minutes.

• If your committee is public and you would like to publish your committee information on a public accessible web site, take a look at the Public website setting.
