I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The types of information we may collect include business information, personal information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address and other information incidental to the provision of professional services to you), or such personal information about other individuals (such as directors, officers and employees of a client or other business relationship, business partners, competitors or customers of clients, or other parties who are individuals). If you wish to attend an RRC sponsored event, including webinars, we may also ask you to provide certain information such as your name, business address, business telephone number and business email address.

  • to maintain, develop and manage our document management, knowledge-management systems and similar systems and databases; and
  • to understand your needs and determine the suitability of other services we may be able to offer to you.

If at any point you provide us with the personal information of other individuals in the course of our provision of professional services to you, we are relying on you to have obtained – and to maintain – the requisite authority under applicable privacy laws for the disclosure of such personal information to us, and our subsequent collection, use and disclosure of such personal information, including obtaining appropriate consent from such individuals.

We use this information for the purposes of facilitating your participation in the webinar or event and as part of our customer relationship management program.

In addition, from time to time, RRC may also send e-mail or other communications to subscribers, clients or other individuals in our contact database to advise such individuals of developments in consulting and other matters relevant to such individuals or their business or industry; provide them with information about or promotions relating to products and services we believe may be of interest to them, or to advise them of upcoming events.

You may opt-out of receiving such communications at any point by using the opt-out feature included in each email, or by contacting us using the details at XVI.

These surveys help us understand the needs of our website visitors, clients, and contacts; evaluate client service satisfaction; and enhance our product and service offerings.

VI. TRACKING ACTIVITY ON OUR WEBSITE

In order to improve the site, we may track whether or not a site visitor is new or returning and collect information about our users through automatic data collection tools, which may include “cookies” and other commonly used technologies (e.g. web beacons). This information includes, without limitation, your web browser, location, and Internet Protocol (IP) address. Cookies are small strings of text that are sent by the site to your browser and then stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Information collected via cookies will be used solely for statistical reporting, unless you are a repeat visitor to our website, in which case a code in the cookie file may enable the site to label you as a particular user so that we may personalize and enhance your experience on our site. In addition, if you submit personal information (e.g., name, address, email, etc.) via an electronic form contained on our website, the cookie file may enable us to identify you by such personally identifiable information in connection with collecting statistical information and personalizing your experience on our site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but it is possible to change your browser setup so that it does not accept cookies. However, rejecting cookies may prevent you from taking advantage of certain portions of our site. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit the website: http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Notice, we do not engage in the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Accordingly, we do not currently process or comply with any Web browser’s “do not track” signal or other mechanisms that provide consumers with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites. Further, except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Notice, we have not knowingly authorized any third parties to collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the site. Nonetheless, such third-party companies (e.g., companies providing features or functionality on the site, etc.) may collect and use information during your visits to our site and other websites in order to provide advertisements on other sites about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or a third-party Web beacon to collect such information.

VII. INFORMATION WE SHARE

We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information about our website visitors, clients or other individuals, except as described here. We may, as permitted by law, share information provided by our website visitors, clients or other individuals with our affiliates and with service providers we may retain to perform services on our behalf. For example, we use services providers to provide services such as hosting the RRC site and operating certain of its features, document and data storage and management, providing client services, maintaining the security of our systems, software support and office services, and sending email or other communications. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required or permitted to do so by applicable US or other laws or regulations or by legal process, (ii) in response to a search warrant or other request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials in such jurisdictions, (iii) if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity, (iv) to protect the integrity or security of the site or the interests, rights or property of RRC, including to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; (v) to detect, prevent or suppress fraud; and/or (vi) to investigate a breach of, or to enforce our sites’ terms of use or other applicable agreements.
