Collection of Your Personal Information

RCOG collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. RCOG also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by RCOG. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by RCOG for the operation of the Web site, to maintain quality of the Web site, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the RCOG Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through RCOG allumni message boards, this information may be collected and used by others.

RCOG encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from RCOG so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. RCOG is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the RCOG and RCOG family of Web sites.

Use of Your Personal Information

RCOG collects and uses your personal information to operate the RCOG Web site and deliver the services you have requested. RCOG also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from RCOG and its affiliates. RCOG may also contact you to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

RCOG does not disclose your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) to the third parties. In addition, RCOG may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to RCOG, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

RCOG keeps track of the pages our customers visit within RCOG, in order to determine what RCOG offerings are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content within RCOG to customers.

RCOG Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on RCOG or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of RCOG; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of RCOG, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The RCOG Web site uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize RCOG pages, or register with RCOG site or services, a cookie helps RCOG to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same RCOG Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the RCOG features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the RCOG services or Web sites you visit.

Security of Your Personal Information

RCOG secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. RCOG secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to This Statement

RCOG will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company policy changes and customer feedback. RCOG encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how RCOG is protecting your information.
