RAANZ Database- privacy policy

The RAANZ database contains information provided by RAANZ members, Instructors and Inspection Authorities.
This data is provided and held for the primary purpose of recording, issuing and maintaining membership, pilot certificate and aircraft annual inspection status as required by our Part 149 delegation.
The data is also a reference for RAANZ Administration to communicate with members.
The database in its entirety is to be kept confidential to RAANZ Administration and members of the Executive,
The data may not be disclosed to any other party for any other purpose with the exception of the following...
- Requests from the Civil Aviation Authority for specific pilot certificate or aircraft annual inspection status.
- Requests from ATOs, Instructors and IAs for specific pilot membership, certificate or aircraft annual inspection status.
- Requests from members for contact information for Clubs, Instructors, Inspection Authorities.
- Requests from club officers for member lists including membership and certificate status.
Use of the database for any other purpose may only be made with the knowledge and agreement of the RAANZ Executive

New members are assigned a random 10 character password.
Forgotten password generates and emails a new 10 character password.
Members can also change their password manually or click 'auto' for a random 10 character password.
However generated, these passwords are hashed into the database- the plaintext version of the password is not able to be reverse engineered from the hash.

The system also handles transitions from the original plaintext passwords-

Members can log in with their existing password.
On login that password is hashed and the plaintext copy removed from the database.
Members can then either stick with their original password or change as detailed above.
Either way, their password is irreversibly hashed and not able to be reverse engineered.
