PRIVACY POLICY
INTRODUCTION
Royal Roots Global Inc. ("RRG") understands that your privacy is
important to you. RRG is strongly committed to protecting your privacy and
the personal information that you may provide as you access and use the materials
on rroots.net (the "Site"), including the subscription pages of
the Site. In this written Privacy Policy, RRG describes the scope and breadth
of our commitment to privacy. RRG may, in its discretion, amend this Privacy
Policy from time to time. Any material changes to our policy will be reflected
on this page, so that you remain informed about the information we collect
and how we use it. By exploring and using this Site, and by submitting information
as you use this Site, you agree to RRG's use of such information as described
herein. This Site may contain links to external sites, which sites are not
governed by this privacy policy, and RRG does not take responsibility for
the privacy practices of any third party sites to which we link. We encourage
you to review the privacy policies of any such sites before you submit information
there.
INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT, AND HOW WE USE IT
RRG collects information from our users when they create their account for
this Site, when they request copies of publications, seek additional information
regarding our services or employment opportunities, or register for conferences
and other RRG-sponsored events. Some of our Site's registration, enrollment,
account setup and other forms may ask users to give us demographic and contact
information, unique personal identifiers, financial information, subject areas
of interest and/or demographic information. We may use this data to tailor
the visitor's experience at our Site. We sometimes aggregate demographic information,
and the types of systems and browsers of users for internal purposes, so that
we may better understand the user population of our Site, identify subject
areas of interest, and determine whether the Site is designed to work with
the computer settings of a majority of our visitors. RRG also may conduct
user surveys on the Web, which usually are intended to provide RRG with information
on a number of areas, such as user identity, user viewing habits, whether
or not users found what they were searching for, whether the Site content
is relevant to user needs, and the like. RRG uses the information gathered
from such surveys to improve our web content, navigation, and overall visitor
experience.
Any personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, e-mail
address, phone number, subject areas of interest, etc., allows RRG to inform
you about updates to the service and to notify you about other products and
services offered by RRG that may be of interest to you. We will not sell,
share, or rent or otherwise make available any of that information to other
parties, except that we may disclose the information to third parties who
perform services on our behalf in connection with the Site and have a need
to access the information in connection with those services. In addition,
RRG may disclose contact information for you in response to inquiries by bona-fide
rights owners in connection with allegations of infringement of copyright
or other proprietary rights arising from information that you have posted
on the Site or otherwise provided to RRG. Individuals that subscribe to e-mail
newsletters are given the opportunity to opt-out of promotions, news, and
information at the time of sign up. Our Site also provides users the opportunity
to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the points where we request
information. You may also feel free to contact us as indicated below.
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
We may collect the e-mail addresses at the point of subscription, of users
who wish to receive e-mail notification of publications and press releases
in identified subject areas of interest, and of those who send us e-mail messages.
We will not, however, share any e-mail addresses with any third party or send
unsolicited e-mail to any of the addresses we collect, except in very limited
circumstances as set forth in this policy.
