As from 25th March at 7.00pm, the automatic system created by Google's blogger platform, where information posted to this blog live via an email address went live, has been STOPPED by GLPAssessor.
From now on ALL DATA forwarded via the 'email posting address' will be held as a draft copy until it is checked by GLPAssessor to see if it contains personal & business details such as email address, telephone numbers and other private information.
If it does, assessors are asked to follow the information with an email to GLPAssessor. This email should include proof that the personal / business details have been Ok'd by the owner of the said details, giving permission for them to be made public. Where the sender of the information has their private / business information stated in the content, it must state for 'public use' in the content.
This change has occurred due to personal details ending up in the public arena via this blog site. This was not intended to happen by the assessor concerned and was done by pure accident.
On being notified by the owner of these details, the information was removed from this blog by GLPAssessor within 12 hours of notification. Links that were active to this information were also deleted at this time. Google has already updated some of it's index to show this and further spidering by Google will remove any trace of the information. The index was searched at the same time and showed that the links were in fact null & void.
This blog was created one afternoon whilst waiting for the GLP Call centre to answer. A blog designed for assessors, to use as a platform to have their say. For assessors who seemed to have so much passion, but found to be stuck behind a forum firewall.
As GLPAssessor never intended to be tied to the desk of this blog, that was why Google's automatic posting seemed like an excellent idea and tool to use. Where assessors could simply 'have their say' in the real world! At the time of blog creation GLPAssessor assumed content would have been cleared for posting! In retrospect maybe one could say, it would be only a matter of time before information posted may contain private information.
As no body likes the idea of personal details being posted in unfamiliar places, GLPAssessor wishes to apologise to the party concerned, who's details were incorrectly posted automatically by an assessor to the public arena via this Green Loan Assessors blog.
GLPAssessor has contacted the assessors whom posted the information informing / confirming with them the information has been removed due to a breach of privacy.
Remember it is the assessors posting the information who are responsible for checking the content of the 'posting', and not GLPAssessor. As said already mentioned GLPAssessor will only allow information to be posted, once confirmation is received.
ALL information from now on will be strictly checked for any infringement of privacy.
Once again this error happened by accident, and Google's system has been adjusted to allow it not to happen again.
This error has happened during a turbulent time in the life of many assessors, which should not have occurred, where passions and stress are high, assessors tested to their limits due to the injustice of this debacle.
Details on How To Post To This Blog have been updated with this updated information.
GLPAssessor will periodically [3-4 days] check the 'draft copies' and if no further information has been received regarding the data it will be deleted.
