This information is used to improve our service to you and to administer our websites. Our server recognizes the home server (IP) and actions (such as page hits) of visitors. Data on visitors' home servers is aggregated for internal review. The aggregate information on what pages are visited is used to improve the site content and also for error tracking purposes related to the functioning of the site.

If you do not want your information shared, simply e-mail us at; forms@rhoadesinfo.com and put "remove" in the subject line.

(Please note that this happens whether or not you click on the advertisement). RNC itself has no control or access to these cookies. The third-party service and RNC may also note some of the pages you visit on our website through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The information collected through the use of these pixel tags is not personally identifiable.

New technologies are emerging on the Internet that help us deliver customized visitor experiences. At RNC, we may use cookies to help us provide you with a fast, convenient shopping experience at our online store. A cookie is a data element a website sends to your browser. It is stored on your computer and tells a website that a previous visitor has returned. It doesn't automatically give personal information about you, like your e-mail address or name. If you want to give us personal information through registration, then a cookie will help us deliver content based on your interests and preferences. Cookies also help us monitor whether our websites are functioning properly and to perform site traffic analysis.
Encryption is a process by which we use software to scramble sensitive information while it is in transit to RNC It is based on a key that has two different parts: public and private. The public part of the key is distributed to those you want to communicate with. The private part is for recipients' use only. When you send personal information to us, you use our public key to encrypt your personal information. That means if your information is intercepted during the transmission, it is scrambled and very difficult to decrypt. Once we receive your encrypted personal information, we use the private part of our key to decode it.
Protecting the online privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, RNC voluntarily complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and the US Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule. (16 C.F.R. Part 312). We neither collect nor maintain information at our site from those actually known to be under the age of 13, nor is any part of our sites directed to children under the age of 13.
