This Ruritan website’s privacy policy describes how the Ruritan Rapidan District uses and protects any information that you give us while visiting www.rapidandistrictruritan.com. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through our website, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Website visitors
Like most website operators, the Ruritan Rapidan District collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use this website.
The Ruritan Rapidan District also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We do not use IP addresses to identify our visitors, however, and do not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of personally-identifying information
Certain visitors to the www.rapidandistrictruritan.com website choose to interact with us in ways that require the Ruritan Rapidan District to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our contact form to provide their name and email address.
In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with our website. The Ruritan Rapidan District does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities, like submitting our contact form.
All of the information that is collected on our website will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.
Protection of certain personally-identifying information
The Ruritan Rapidan District discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available through the Ruritan Rapidan District, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using www.rapidandistrictruritan.com, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
We will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, we disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when the Ruritan Rapidan District believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of our organization, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of our website and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Ruritan Rapidan District, our clubs, and our fundraising events. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request or comment, we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other visitors or Ruritan members. We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
