Purpose of the Form Letter
In this situation, the form letter is being used as a mailing tool. The database is merged with a word document to make a letter that is sent to the customers about upcoming sales. The form letter used merged fields to reduce the chance of redundant data. This merged form letter makes it easier for staff to send out the information to past customers.
The purpose of the report
The purpose and use of the report is to allow the staff to use this page to be able to contact any of the customers if their order has been delayed or lost. This allows the staff to have easy access to the information of the customers. If problems do arise, the staff just have to look at this document and find the customers details and it reduces the chance that the staff will get the number wrong.
The purpose and use of queries
The three queries that I used for the database include:
1. Search by Name: This prompt allows the user to search for a single product by name. The disadvantage of this is that the user has to know the complete name of the item entered into the system.
2. Search by Type: This would be the most used query because it allows the user to view the whole range of products that they are searching for and can find out the price and the availability of the items.
3. Search by Product ID: This query would be used mostly by the stores staff because to remember all the ID’s of the product is very difficult.
The reasons for using all of these queries are to provide the user with a choice to use the query that is most convenient for them.

Privacy
Privacy is a major social and ethical issue when it comes under internet and the area of databases. When people enter information into a database or survey, they need to be certain that their personal information is not used for other purposes. Individuals have a right to control their personal information.
The data collected about customers in my company’s database includes:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Address
• Suburb
• Post Code
• Mobile Number
When customers choose to purchase from my company, all the data collected stays secure within the system, will not be sold to other company’s and wont be used for purposes other than the one used to collect the data.
