PRIVACY STATEMENT

Thank you for visiting the official web site of Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC).  RCRC is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.  To that end, we have prepared this privacy statement to disclose and describe our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.  By accessing and using the website, you acknowledge the RCRC Privacy Statement and accept the policies and practices described.  RCRC reserves the right to delete, modify or supplement the content of this Privacy Statement at any time.

System Security

The computer systems (“systems”) that host and control the RCRC website are monitored to ensure proper operation and to verify the functioning of applicable security features.  Individuals using the systems expressly consent to such monitoring.  Unauthorized attempts to modify any information stored on this system, to defeat or circumvent security features, or to utilize the systems for other than their intended purposes are prohibited and may result in criminal prosecution and denial of access to the systems.  RCRC’s website has security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of the information under our control.  Whenever you transmit sensitive information to us through our website, we provide you access to our secure server that allows encryption across the Internet.  Despite such security measures, no technology is fail-proof, and it is possible, although remotely so, for an unauthorized person to gain access to the website and/or the systems.  Accordingly, users providing personally identifiable information through the website do so at their own risk.

We may also use “cookies” to enhance your browsing experience.  A "cookie" is a name for tokens of information that our web site may provide to your browser, which is used only by our website while you are at the site.  RCRCNET.ORG uses cookies for a variety of purposes. We use cookies to help us track your current session on our website so as to not double count your current session visit.  If you simply want to browse, you do not have to accept cookies from our site.  Should you decide, however, that you would like to register and login to special areas of the website and you have modified your browser settings not to accept cookies, you will need to re-set your browser to accept the cookies.  Most browsers are defaulted to accept and maintain cookies.
