Sending to a friend

The send to a friend feature on our website allows you to request that an email message be sent to another person. The following applies to this send to a friend facility:

• An email will be sent to each recipient’s email address you specify.
• The sent email will display your name as you entered it, the email address you have nominated as your own and the message you have typed in the message body field.
• Any information you provide when using this facility will be held in accordance with the CMRI Privacy Policy and will not be held for further purposes in the future.
• If the recipient of the message replies to the message, the reply will go back to your email address only.
• If an address provided on the send to a friend form is invalid, or if the email cannot be delivered for other reasons, you may receive a failure notice from a remote mail system in response to the message.
  

Changes to the Privacy Policy

CMRI may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
