How we treat emails

As a Government Agency any official E-mail correspondence sent to our site will be treated as a public record and will be retained as required by the Public Records Act 2002 and other relevant regulations.

Our web-site support staff may monitor e-mail messages; however, your name and address details will not be added to a mailing list, nor will we disclose these details to a third party without your consent unless required by law to do so. Treasury has introduced E-mail filtering software which results in any messages with inappropriate material being blocked. The system generates an automatic message advising the originator and addressee that the message has been blocked.
