Personal messages sent via the DIBB are stored in our database. A limited number of personnel have access to this database and it is possible that your messages could be read by those personnel. The DIBB administrators do not routinely read personal messages, but it may become necessary to when abuse has been reported or suspected. With that in mind, the DIBB admin staff, recommend that you do not use our PM system to transmit personal messages that you do not want anyone else to access.
Due to the real-time nature of the DIBB, it is impossible for the DIBB staff to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted.
If you provide personal information in a post, that personal information will be publicly posted and otherwise disclosed without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party.
You are in control of your own posts and can edit the posts you make in an open thread at any time. If the thread is locked, you will need to report your own post and ask admin to edit it for you.
The DIBB Reporter App will ask for your permission to access the Camera and Photo's stored on your device to enable you to upload them to the DIBB. Only the photos you select will be uploaded under your DIBB Username. No other interaction takes place with your device and nothing is ever uploaded to the DIBB without you submitting the image or text.
All data transferred to and from the App is under Secure SSL/TLS security.
We take steps to ensure your personal data is treated securely. This website is encrypted and protected with 128 Bit SSL/TLS encryption. You will see the padlock in your browser to assure you that the data being transferred from this website is secure.
We regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
Any password you enter is also stored in an encrypted form. We cannot read/decode/decipher that password. If you forget your password, it can only be reset by generating a new password.
Our software checks the registration IP address to make sure it has not previously been used to post forum spam. Registrations will then be manually checked by a member of staff before approval.
