RiverValley.cc and your privacy

At RiverValley.cc we respect your right to privacy and we understand that, as a member or visitor to RiverValley.cc, you prefer to control your own personal information and preferences. For this reason, we ask you to register for your own User Name and password for access to certain areas of RiverValley.cc .

We will guard the personal information you share with us to ensure the content, services, and advertising that we provide on RiverValley.cc are always tailored to your current, designated preferences.

When you provide RiverValley.cc with your name, e-mail address, mailing address, or telephone number, and you do not 'opt out,' RiverValley.cc may use the provided information to alert you to special offers, seminars, new services, and other RiverValley.cc updates. RiverValley.cc does not offer or allow the selling of any user-provided information to third parties.

RiverValley.cc respects the rights users give us when opting to receive e-mail communications and enforces internal policies to preserve those rights. It is our objective to retain the long-term ability to continue to communicate with our users.

If you do not want RiverValley.cc or a RiverValley.cc field representative to contact you, you may "opt out" of this preference at any time, whether you're online or by contacting RiverValley.cc directly. As part of your preference flexibility, you'll always have the option to opt back in and have RiverValley.cc contact you based on your previous or new preferences. For instructions, please see the section "Contact Us," below.

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still visit the non-member portions of the RiverValley.cc website; however, you will not have access to areas that require personal identification.

Personal information that you post to online forums is accessible by other forum participants.


RiverValley.cc membership and the use of log files (cookies)

RiverValley.cc offers free access to member-only areas of our website to all members current and in good standing. In order to establish membership, visitors are requested to provide both personal information and preferences. This information is stored and protected by your user-established User Name and Password.

The sign-in information is stored until you explicitly sign out. It also allows you to return to any RiverValley.cc website on subsequent visits without having to re-enter your information. RiverValley.cc remembers you by placing a log file (cookie) that contains only enough information to identify you upon return visits. A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored with your web browser for record-keeping purposes and helps RiverValley.cc provide better service to you. Your browser has options to accept, reject, or alert you when a cookie is sent. It must accept cookies in order to access our member-only areas.

No information, other than that found in the Membership cookie, will be accessed by any RiverValley.cc system. Access to your membership information always requires both your User Name and Password.

RiverValley.cc also utilizes visitor log files (cookies) and hosted tracking with our website. Once a user enters our site, a cookie follows them through their click stream path. Examples of information being collected by these cookies and the hosted tracking include the number of times a user came to our site(s), and the paths they took to get there.

RiverValley.cc may use the data collected from website visitor cookies and hosted tracking in aggregate form only and does not collect any personally identifiable information. Use of this information helps us better understand what users are seeking and learning at our website(s) and helps us identify potential navigation issues.

How RiverValley.cc will protect your personal information

RiverValley.cc will always protect the personal information that you share with us. RiverValley.cc stores information internally in a controlled, secure environment. If, for example, you opt to make a payment or donation online, we will route all transactions through SSL (Secure Socket Layers) and will process your credit card number only to secure your current payment. The SSL transaction does not retain your credit card number subsequent to the transaction at hand and will not use the number for marketing purposes.

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.
