The Ripon Society is
committed to
protecting the
privacy and security
of visitors to our
websites. Outlined
below is our online
privacy policy for
information
collected through
this website and
email lists. If you
have any questions
about these
policies, we
encourage you to
talk to us by
emailing us here.
RESALE OR DISCLOSURE
OF INFORMATION TO
THIRD PARTIES
We do not share or
otherwise disclose
any personal
information,
including your name,
address, or email
addresses with other
organizations except
where you authorize
it. Only The Ripon
Society staff and
our authorized
agents have access
to personally
identifiable
information provided
by visitors to our
site. From time to
time, we may send
you information from
other like-minded
organizations whose
products or services
we think subscribers
might find
interesting, but we
do not exchange,
trade, rent, or give
email lists to third
parties.
BROWSER INFORMATION
COLLECTED ON OUR
WEBSITE
As with any website
operator, The Ripon
Society analyzes our
website logs to
constantly improve
the value of our
website. We use an
external service to
provide real-time
reporting to us and
our authorized
agents of browser
accesses to our
site, including page
views, unique views,
unique visitors,
repeat visitors,
frequency of visits,
and peak-volume
traffic periods. We
do not use this
service to gather,
request, record,
require, collect or
track any Internet
users' personally
identifying
information.
PRIVACY OF OUR EMAIL
LISTS
The Ripon Society (TRS)
maintains several
email lists to keep
TRS members, the
press, and policy
makers informed
about breaking
events. Individuals
must affirmatively
request to join our
mailing lists. In
addition, we do not
share the email
addresses on our
lists with outside
organizations. Only
TRS staff and our
authorized agents
have access to
personally
identifiable
information provided
by visitors to our
site.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Because we care
about the safety and
privacy of children
online, we comply
with the Children's
Online Privacy
Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA). COPPA
and its accompanying
FTC regulation
establish United
States federal law
that protects the
privacy of children
using the Internet.
We do not knowingly
collect contact or
personal information
from children under
13. Our sites are
not intended to
solicit information
of any kind from
children under 13,
and we have designed
our sites to block
our knowing
acceptance of
information from
children under 13
whenever age related
information is
requested.
It is possible that
by fraud or
deception by others
we may receive
information given to
us or pertaining to
children under 13.
If we are notified
of this, as soon as
we verify the
information, we will
immediately obtain
parental consent or
otherwise delete the
information from our
servers. If you want
to notify us of our
receipt of
information by
children under 13,
please do so by
e-mailing us
here.
SECURITY
We
use
industry-standard
encryption
technologies when
transferring and
receiving financial
data from our site.
In addition, we have
appropriate security
measures in place in
our physical
facilities to
protect against the
loss or misuse of
information that we
have collected from
you at our site.
