RUST REVIEWS PRIVACY POLICY

Thank you for visiting the Rust Reviews Website, RustReviews.com, and reviewing our Privacy Policy. The information we receive depends on what you do when you visit our site. The essence of our Privacy Policy is simple and clear: we will collect no personal information about you when you visit our Web site unless you voluntarily choose to provide that information to us, for example, by entering information in a voluntary online form, sending us an email, providing a business recommendation, registering a business as a new member, or by performing an online service transaction updating business information using an assigned user name and password. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is a part of the Terms of Use, which governs RustReviews.com. It only applies to information we gather via the Web from consumers who are US residents. Therefore, it does not cover information gathered by others, such as linked sites, or information gathered by other means, such as non-Internet communications and Membership subscriptions, and from non-US residents. Here is how we handle information about your visit to our Web site:

If you visit our site to browse through the Web site, read pages, or download information:

1. If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the Web site, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. Your web browser software transmits most of this information to us. This information does not identify you personally.
2. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:
   1. The numeric IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access the Rust Review Web site. Our software can then map these IP addresses into Internet domain names, for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain;
   2. The type of browser and operating system used to access the Rust Reviews Web site;
   3. The date and time you access the Rust Reviews Web site and the amount of time you spent at the site;
   4. The pages you visit, including graphics loaded from each page and other documents you download, such as PDF (Portable Document Format) files and word processing documents; and
   5. If you linked to the Rust Reviews Web site from another Web site, the address of that Web site. As stated above, your web browser software transmits this information to us.
3. We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors -- to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use.

Cookies.

1. A "cookie" is a small text file that a Web site can place on your computer's hard drive in order, for example, to collect information about your activities on the site or to make it possible for you to use an online "shopping cart" to keep track of items you wish to purchase. The cookie transmits this information back to the Web site's computer, which, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Most consumers do not know that "cookies" are being placed on their computers when they visit Web sites. If you want to know when this happens, or to prevent it from happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a Web site attempts to place a "cookie" on your computer.
2. We discourage the use of web cookies on our Web sites. Temporary cookies, however, may be used when necessary to complete a transaction. Certain services, such as Business Member services, may use cookies to enhance the user experience and avoid multiple login/password authentications. If a persistent Web cookie is required, the Web page discloses to visitors that a persistent cookie is being used. Information collected on our Web sites including information from persistent Web cookies is generally subject to the state access to public records law except as otherwise provided by federal law.

If you choose to identify yourself by sending us an email or by using our online forms:

1. Rust Reviews may ask for your name, phone number, and e-mail address in order to respond to business recommendations and reviews.
2. As Rust Reviews grows, it may offer incentives for business recommendations and reviews, and may ask for your e-mail and other information in connection with these promotions.
3. All of these activities are purely voluntary. You will always have the option of deciding whether to perform the transaction and provide this information or not. Please understand, however, that in order to open a Business Member service account or perform a Business Member service transaction, you will be required to provide some personal and business information. Whether to perform the transaction is up to you.
4. If you choose to provide us with personal information -- as when you provide a business recommendation or review and voluntarily include personal information, send an e-mail to the site administrator, or someone else, or fill out some other form with your personal information and submit it to us through our Web site -- we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We treat e-mails the same way we treat letters sent to Rust Reviews.
5. We only share the information you give us with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency, or as otherwise required by law.
6. When we establish an online newsletter, you may choose to subscribe. You may unsubscribe at any time.
7. Rust Reviews does not collect information for commercial marketing. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone.

If you join Rust Reviews as a Business Member:

1. Much more information is required to process Business Member applications available through Rust Reviews, and that information shall be governed by the Terms and Conditions of the Rust Reviews Member Contract.
2. When you use our Business Member service and pay by credit card, we will require that you provide the cardholder’s name, address, account number, and card expiration date.
3. When you perform a transaction as a Rust Reviews Business Member, we will log the user’s login name in order to track users making changes.
4. Rust Reviews, LLC may elect to retain the business and personal information you provided voluntarily for business reasons after your Membership ends.

Rust Reviews will send personally identifiable information about you to other companies, agencies, or people when:

1. We have your consent to share the information.
2. We need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested. For example, we use a third party merchant services company, and we send information for billing purposes only.
3. We need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of Rust Reviews to provide a product or service to you. (Unless we tell you differently, these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us).
4. We are required to do so by law, subpoena, court order or legal process.
5. We find that your actions on our Web sites violate the Rust Reviews Acceptable Use Policy or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or services.

Links to Other Sites. The Rust Reviews Website contains links to many Business Member and charity websites, and we may we link to other organizations (such as Mapquest and Yahoo!), with their permission. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

Security

1. We take very seriously the integrity of the information and systems that we maintain. As such, we have instituted security measures for all information systems under our control so that information will not be lost, misused or altered.
2. For site security purposes and to ensure that our Internet services remain available to all users, we employ software programs to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. In the event of authorized law enforcement investigations and pursuant to any required legal process, information from these sources may be used to help identify an individual.
3. Your Rust Reviews Business Member account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. In certain areas, as with credit card transactions, Rust Reviews uses industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect data transmissions.
4. All credit card information is immediately encrypted upon receipt and authentication through Authorize.net. Authorize.net authentication uses 128-bit SSL communication.
5. We cannot absolutely guarantee the integrity of information and systems we maintain; however, we will use reasonable steps to achieve security by implementing generally accepted standards of technology security. Since perfect security does not exist on the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any information stored on our servers, or the servers of contractors supporting RustReviews.com, or transmitted to or from a user will be free from unauthorized access. By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree that you understand these risks and willingly assume them.
6. You are responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any access to or use of RustReviews.com by you or any person or entity using a password provided to you, whether or not you have authorized such access, and whether or not this person or entity is your employee, relative, or agent. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security and ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to comply with this provision.
7. We will never request that you sent us sensitive personal or business information such as a credit card number or password in an email or into a Website that is not located at the RustReviews.com domain name. If you receive an email or other correspondence requesting that you provide such information, please do not comply and instead report the incident to our Privacy Officer at 1-877-349-3443 (toll free).
8. In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your sensitive personal information in our possession has been compromised, we will try to notify you of the situation as promptly as possible under the circumstances. We may use whatever information we possess, including email or telephone number to conduct this notification.
