AU: Essendon privacy lapse as personal contact information of prominent members is sent via email

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Dissent

Grant Baker reports:

The personal contact information of Essendon’s most prominent and powerful supporters has been mistakenly emailed to more than 380 members of the club’s past players and officials association.

The privacy lapse occurred when data related to coteries including the Essendon Women’s Network, Essendonians, Collins Street Dons, Red & Blacks, Lawdons and the Dick Reynolds Club was sent by the club not just to the past players association but to all of its members.
