4. PRIVACY

A. COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION RBFF collects certain personal information from you, by necessity, when you register to use the Web site including but not limited to your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, credit card account information (for shopping services).

We will also collect personal information from you when you request additional information from us or when you use areas of RBFF's Web site in which users voluntarily provide content submissions or suggestions or otherwise participate in interactive online activities, including but not limited to participation in our online surveys, contests, sweepstakes and pledge activities.

We may also collect information regarding your activities on RBFF's Web site, including but not limited to information regarding purchases you make and the navigation paths you take. We may also collect user population, demographic information, traffic patterns and other information about the online activities of our users on an aggregate basis.

B. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION RBFF collects and uses the personal information you provide for the specific purposes for which you provide it, such as processing your on-line registration, sending you information you have requested, and allowing you to participate in activities or provide content submissions or suggestions.

We also collect and use information to notify you about our new and existing content, events, products, or services, to inform you about RBFF, its activities, programs, and missions, and to solicit your support of RBFF.  If you do not wish to receive additional information about RBFF and its programs, you may opt-out at any time and have your information removed from our database for these purposes by e-mailing us at optout@rbff.org.

We also may share your information (including for compensation) with aligned organizations and with our business and other partners who may contact you about their organizations and their products, services, and special offers that may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to have your information shared with RBFF partners, including aligned organizations and businesses, you may opt-out at any time and have your information removed from our database for these purposes by e-mailing us at optout@rbff.org.

RBFF may provide a variety of promotions, sweepstakes and other services on the Site, some of which may be provided in conjunction with a partner company. In order to provide such co-branded promotions, sweepstakes and services to you, it may be necessary for us to share your personally identifiable information with our partner companies. If you do not want your data to be shared with the partner company, please do not use the service or participate in the sweepstakes or promotion.

RBFF may also share your personal information with third party service providers to whom we outsource certain administrative and other functions, including third party providers of billing services, third party shipping companies, e-mail distribution outsourcers and market analysis vendors.

In order for us to enhance our ability to tailor the Site to an individual's preference, we may share and receive information about the purchasing habits of our users with third party market analysis vendors, to create a personalized user profile.

Aggregate information on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior may be compiled, analyzed and shared with our business partners, vendors, advertisers and other affiliates.

We may also disclose our users' personally identifiable information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with RBFF's rights or property, other users of RBFF's Web site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve RBFF's Web site.

The description of our use of your personally identifiable information above is not exclusive.

C. CONTACTING YOU We may send you newsletters and other materials from time to time containing information that we think may be of interest to you. If you later decide you do not wish to receive any further marketing materials, you may opt-out of receiving future mailings by sending an email to optout@rbff.org. Please be aware that we may contact you for administrative purposes, to notify you about important changes to the Site or to respond to your inquiries, even if you unsubscribe from our mail list. 

D. COOKIES Like most other commercial Web sites, RBFF uses "cookies," which are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Advertising networks that serve ads onto RBFF's Web site may also use their own cookies. The use of cookies enables us to obtain information about your use of RBFF's Web site, such as whether you have visited RBFF's Web site more than once and how you found us. This information allows us to more effectively tailor RBFF's Web site and outreach efforts and make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences while you're at RBFF's Web site. In addition, many improvements and updates to RBFF's Web site are based on data obtained from the use of cookies, such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed.

Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to prevent it. However, if you choose to disable our cookies, you may not be able to use certain features of RBFF's Web site.

In some cases we may also track or collect information about your use of RBFF's Web site by small, 1-pixel gifs (Web bugs), the numeric address assigned to the computer you are using (your IP address) or by the URLs that you come from or leave to. These methods allow us to analyze trends across RBFF's Web site, such as which of our Web pages are most popular and to track your behavior on RBFF's Web site, such as which articles you choose to read. We also use this information to resolve server problems and to administer RBFF's Web site. Generally, we use this information for internal analysis and do not associate this information with any other personally identifiable information that you may have provided us.

E. ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR INFORMATION If you would like to review, update or correct the personal information you have provided to us, you may do so by notifying us at info@rbff.org. 

F. LINKS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure by RBFF of information RBFF collects from or about you. This Site may contain links to other sites and we may engage third party advertisers, suppliers or other service providers, each of which may adhere to their own privacy customs and policies. RBFF does not control the content or privacy policies of such sites or the privacy policies of such third parties. RBFF accepts no responsibility or liability for privacy or other issues related to the collection or use of your information by such other sites or third parties. We encourage you to be aware when you leave RBFF's Web site and to read the privacy statements of each site you visit. 

G. MODIFICATIONS TO THE POLICY We may modify the Privacy Policy at any time by updating this Web page. Please check back to this area of RBFF's Web site to look for changes in the Privacy Policy so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use that information and under what circumstances we disclose the information to third parties. Any modifications made to the Privacy Policy will automatically become effective thirty (30) days after posting and your continued use of RBFF's Web site following these changes will constitute your consent to the Privacy Policy, as changed. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from what our Privacy Policy stated at the time the information was collected, we will send you an e-mail notification and you may opt-out of having that information used in the different manner by sending us an email at optout@rbff.org indicating that you do not wish information collected by RBFF prior to the change to be used in the manner described in the Privacy Policy, as changed. 

H. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION We share your concern over the safety and security of your personal information on the Internet and have implemented procedures to promote the safety and security of the information we collect online. We use industry standard efforts (such as secure socket layers, where appropriate) to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.

5. MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY  You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify RBFF of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. RBFF cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 5.

Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.

20. GENERAL INFORMATION The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and RBFF and govern your use of RBFF's Web site, superceding any prior agreements between you and RBFF. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. The TOS and the relationship between you and RBFF shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and RBFF agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The failure of RBFF to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. 

21. VIOLATIONS Please report any violations of the TOS to info@rbff.org.

22. ATTORNEY'S FEES If RBFF or its affiliates take any action to enforce the TOS, such parties will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and any cost of litigation, in addition to any other relief, at law or in equity, to which such parties may be entitled. 

23. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of any of the TOS will cause such damage to RBFF as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that RBFF shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of these terms and conditions by You, or Your affiliates, partners, or agents, as well as recover from You any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by RBFF in obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees. You agree that no bond or other security shall be required in connection with such injunction.
