@dcsi Customer Email Policy

About this policy

This policy is accessible on our website and is distributed to customers and former customers (together, ‘customers’) and our staff.

Our Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent) has approved this policy and is responsible for ensuring its implementation, operation and compliance with any applicable regulations and industry codes.

By using any @dcsi customer email service (‘mailbox’ or ‘mailboxes’) you agree to comply with the terms of this policy.

@dcsi email address

@dcsi email addresses (‘[email protected]’) date back to the early days of the internet in Australia, when it was common for ISPs to offer customers email addresses. Today, people are spoiled for choice when it comes to email services and ISP-supplied email addresses are relics. Heaps of cheap and free dedicated services options have rendered ISP-supplied email addresses obsolete.
