What personal data we collect and why we collect it
If you only browse this website
During your visit to our web site, if you do nothing more than browse, read pages, or download information, then we collect or store no information from you or about you.
We do have access to site usage statistics provided by our Internet Service Provider to measure which site pages are visited the most often and when. We analyze these web site statistics to determine how our web site is being used, so that we may continually improve the site’s usefulness to our users. We do not collect or store any information that can be used to identify or profile an individual, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, cookies, referring sites, etc.
If You Volunteer Information
If you send us an e-mail, we will collect the e-mail address and the content of the e-mail. The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include any audio, video, and graphic information formats you send us.
We use your e-mail to respond appropriately. This may be to respond to your request for information, to respond to your suggestions, or to further improve our web site with the information you provide.
Personal Information and Choice
You may choose whether to provide personal information on-line. Types of information that you may provide on our website can include: joining mailing lists, providing website suggestions/feedback, and submission of events.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
RIDDC does not rent, lease, or share any user information with any third-party or outside organization.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, have submitted to your email in order to subscribe to our mailing list, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How we protect your data
Site Liability
The RIDDC website contains links to other web sites. This includes links to web sites operated by government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses. When you link to another site, you are no longer on our website and this Internet Privacy Policy will not apply. When you link to another web site, you are subject to the privacy policy of that new site.
While the RIDDC does initial checking to establish credibility of any sites to which we link, we do not warrant the accuracy, reliability or timeliness of any information, viewpoints or content published by websites to which we link. Portions of such information may be incorrect or not current. Any person or entity that relies on any information obtained from this system does so at their own risk.
