This Privacy Policy governs how RWR collects, uses, discloses, and maintains personally identifiable information (“Data”) collected from “Users” (people who visit our website or interact with us online and offline).

Users consent to the terms of and the practices disclosed within this Privacy Policy by visiting and browsing this website or registering for RWR services. If a User does not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, they should not use this website or register for our services.

Cookies

A Cookie is a small file containing an alphanumeric identifier sent by a web server to a web browser and stored on a User’s local computer. The alphanumeric identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a new page from the server, assisting us in providing our services and content to Users.

A Cookie can be either a persistent Cookie or a session Cookie. A persistent Cookie is stored by a web browser and remains valid until its set expiration date (unless deleted first before that date). A session Cookie expires and is deleted at the end of the User’s session on the website when the browser is closed. RWR uses both persistent and session Cookies on our website.

Typically Cookies do not contain any information that identifies a person. However, a User’s Data may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from Cookies.

Most browsers allow Users to refuse to accept Cookies. However, if Users block all Cookies, they may be unable to use parts or all of our website. It is also possible for Users to delete the Cookies stored on their computers. However, this will result in a less optimized experience on our website and many other websites.

  • to advise Users of changes to our resources and services;
  • to do User profiling, testing, and research;

  • to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that a User is violating the rights of any third party or any of the agreements or policies that govern the use of RWR’s website, resources, or service.

If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will provide those companies only the Data they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use Users’ Data as appropriate in the course of their work for us.

Data Disclosure

RWR does not sell or rent a User’s Data to anyone else. RWR will disclose a User’s Data only as follows:

  • to someone a User has designated to act as their agent for one or more of the Identified Purposes listed above;
  • to RWR’s employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers, and agents, acting on RWR’s behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;
  • as necessary if RWR has reason to believe that disclosure is required in order to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with RWR’s rights or property, other Users of RWR’s website, resourcess or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and
  • to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted or required by law.

In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we may sell or buy other businesses or merge with another company. In such transactions, Data may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that RWR or substantially all of its assets are acquired, User Data may be one of the transferred assets.

Data Processing and Retention

User information may be stored and processed outside of the United States. By using this website, Users consent to any such transfer of information outside of their country. By submitting a User’s Data to RWR, they agree to the transferring, storing, and processing of their information.

Security Safeguards

RWR limits its Data collection to only that information necessary for the Identified Purposes. RWR does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect any Data from children under the age of thirteen.

RWR takes all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that Users’ Data is treated securely and per applicable law and this Privacy Policy. All Data which Users provide to RWR is stored on secure servers.

This website uses SSL Protocol to secure Users’ personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, the transfer of information via the internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of a User’s Data as it is transmitted. Therefore any transaction is made at Users’ own risk.

Accuracy of Data

RWR will use reasonable efforts to keep User Data accurate for the Identified Purposes. Users are responsible for informing RWR about changes to their Data. RWR will use new or updated Data it receives from Users to update its own records.

Access to Data

Users have the right to request that their personally identifiable Data be removed from RWR’s database or that inaccurate or incomplete information be amended as appropriate by contacting RWR at the end of the Privacy Policy document.

If RWR is not able to provide access to some aspect of a User’s personally identifiable Data, it will provide reasons for denying access, such as that doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual.

If a User requests to be removed from our database, RWR will comply with this request, except to retain whatever personally identifiable Data is legally necessary for compliance with applicable law in the United States. Whatever information remains in our archives will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove RWR’s compliance with any applicable law.

Subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law, and provided we can authenticate a User’s identity, the User will be given reasonable access to their personally identifiable Data.

Users may check their Data to verify, update, or correct it and to have any obsolete information removed. Users can also ask to review any of their personally identifiable Data that we have retained, how we have used it, and to whom we have disclosed it.

Users may also ask RWR to change their preferences regarding how we use or disclose their information or let RWR know they do not wish to receive further communication from us.
