If we become aware that a minor is attempting to or has submitted information via this site, we will notify the user that we may not accept his or her information. We will then use our commercially reasonable best efforts to expunge any personally identifiable information from our records.

If you use a Posting Area or Blog on the Site, you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these posting areas can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. RLP is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these posting areas.
Cookies
We make use of a standard feature of browser software called a “cookie” which helps us recognize you when you visit. “Cookie” is the term used for a text file that is stored on the database of your computer. Nearly all modern websites use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide more streamlined interactivity. Cookies are used to send information to your Internet browser from a web server. These little bits of information are stored on your computer's hard drive. We store your email address in a cookie file and place the file on the hard drive of your computer. Our cookies cannot read other data off your hard-drive. This lets us identify your computer as a unique user.
We use the information collected by cookies to determine which parts of our website are visited most often. They are also used to figure out where on our site you may be experiencing technical difficulties. Our goal is to improve the quality of our website, tailor our products and services to suit your personal interests, track and/or analyze visiting patterns and resolve difficulties you may encounter while on our site. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you disable cookies, however, you may find the Site, and many other web sites, harder to use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we will not share any personally identifiable Information, such as your name, address or telephone number, with any third party without your consent, unless we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary: (a) to provide you with the services you have requested from us; (b) to comply with the law; (c) to comply with legal process; (d) to enforce this Privacy Statement or other site rules and policies; (e) to respond to claims that you are engaged in activities that violate the rights of third parties; (f) to protect the rights or interests of RLP and its service providers, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall impose a duty on RLP to make any such disclosures; and (g) to our service providers (after they have signed written non-disclosure agreements with us protecting your Information).
Except as described throughout this Privacy Policy, RLP will only share with third parties aggregated Information about our users. For example, we might share Information about the number of people who visit our Site or their demographic information. In addition, we may share aggregated Information with market analysts, advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and any other third parties. We will never include your name or your credit card or other personally identifiable information in any aggregated Information.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of RLP, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, we reserve the right to transfer all or part of our business, including this site and your Information, to third parties.
Saving Information and Security
Any personal Information we collect is contained behind secured networks. Please be aware, however, that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal Information, RLP cannot insure or warrant the security of any Information you transmit to us or from our online products or services. If the event of a breach of the security of a member’s personal Information, we will notify you of such incident through the most current email address you provided to us.
Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a computer identification number that is used any time your computer is connected to the Internet. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” web pages, identify your computer by its IP address. RLPcollects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our website. When visitors request pages from our website, our servers log the visitors’ IP addresses. While we do store users’ IP addresses along with their usernames and additional information, we DO NOT use this information unless we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use, or to protect our services, site, customers or others.
