We will protect your information and will not release your name, email address or other personal information to any advertiser, merchant, or other third parties unrelated to RITA without your permission. We will not give, sell, share, rent, or trade information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. RITA stores its records in the United States.

Security

RITA has security measures to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of customer information stored on our systems. We use industry-standard procedures and processes, such as firewalls, encryption, token authentication, application proxies, and monitoring technology, to track abuse of our network and its data. When you submit information about yourself to RITA over the internet, the information may travel over many systems not controlled by RITA. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have established appropriate and typical physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. All employees, contractors and other companies engaged by RITA for work that involves access to personal information are contractually required to keep the information confidential and not to use it in any way other than what is necessary to perform their work for RITA.

Cookies

The use of cookies is an industry standard, and most websites use them to provide useful features, such as saving your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit a website. RITA may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, for statistical purposes, or to ensure you don’t repeatedly see the same ad. Most internet browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can set your internet browser to refuse cookies, but you may not be able to take full advantage of a website if you do.

IP Address

An IP address is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. All computer identification on the internet is conducted with IP addresses, allowing computers and servers to recognize and communicate. Your IP address does not contain your name but does provide additional demographic information. RITA does not release IP addresses to advertisers or third parties. We use your IP address to help diagnose or detect problems with our server, for security reasons, to conduct system administration and site analysis, and to administer our website. Any demographic information collected from your IP address is separated from your name and email address to protect your privacy.

The RITA privacy policy may be updated to increase our users’ privacy protection or to improve our information practices. If changes are made in the future, the changes will not affect the information already collected. Any changes to the RITA privacy policy will be available on this page for users to review.
