Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. To protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

The Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) never sells, trades, or shares any information that we obtain from our audience online, through mailings, or any other means of communication to other organizations or companies. RCCN will only share personal information once the individual has given specific permission to do so.

When you request information, register using one of our forms, or contact us offline, we may need your specific information in order to process your registration/request and reply to your needs promptly.

We may ask you for contact information (such as your name, email and address). We may also collect demographic and profile data (which users provide to us) at our site and in our databases. We use this data to customize your online experience with RCCN and develop and distribute content that we think you might be interested in.

Surveys

We may conduct occasional online surveys via our Web site or via an e-mail newsletter. These surveys are entirely voluntary and you may easily decline to participate. Participating in an online survey does not automatically add your name to the subscriber list for the RCCNs newsletters or electronic communications.

Use of "Cookies"

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without accepting cookies, you can still use most of the features on the RCCN website.

Email Policy

RCCN does not send unsolicited commercial email to individuals with whom they do not have consent/permission or a pre-existing or current business relationship.

RCCN provides all email recipients with a clear, easy and effective method to unsubscribe to any and all online communications.

Links to Other Sites

This site links to other sites. RCCN is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. We will not pass your information along to the linked site; however, we cannot protect the information you provide to that site.
