Privacy and moderation

All messages posted in our public pages are automatically made public.

Members can limit what is made public on their personal profile page (use the 'Settings' link). Our system provides a default profile image, but we encourage members to use their own photos or designs. You can replace the default image at any time.

The Research Cooperative will moderate the forums, as needed, and welcomes feedback on this matter. We do not collect and transmit personal information for any third parties.

We will not send personal emails requesting donations, funds or payments, unless there has been (a) prior correspondence initiated by you, regarding such matters, or (b) you have received a specific service from the Research Cooperative, and have requested an invoice.

As an organisation, the Research Cooperative does not currently offer any services for which payment is required. We do offer an option for voluntary payment of a subscription, which members may set at zero (most do). 

Individual members may offer their own services on their own behalf.
