At Rhode Island Roads Magazine, we prioritize the protection of your privacy. Here’s how we ensure it:
Commitment to Privacy and Security
We are dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and security of our subscribers and advertising partners. Adhering to industry standards, we continually monitor our management and operational practices to uphold our esteemed reputation and integrity. This commitment is our pledge to our valued subscribers and advertisers.
Types of Information Collected
We collect only voluntarily provided information from our readers and strictly refrain from distributing this data to advertisers or external parties, nor do we engage in sending unsolicited emails.
To facilitate subscriptions, we require subscribers to provide an email address; however, no other personal information is mandatory. Any additional information, such as a profile description, entered by users in forums or comments sections, is entirely optional. Periodically, we may request demographic data, like age or gender, which is voluntary and anonymized for aggregate reporting purposes.
Payments for subscriptions are securely processed through a third-party system, and private information from this process is not integrated into our database.
Advertiser Associations and Data Usage
We collaborate with advertisers whose offerings we believe align with our readers’ interests. When making purchases, readers may provide information to advertisers, subject to the advertiser’s privacy policy. We refrain from partnering with companies that misuse such information and encourage readers to report any privacy violations promptly.
Member Communications
We respect our subscribers’ time and ensure that any communication from us is clearly labeled, dated, and free from advertising content.
Cookies
Our website does not utilize cookies. However, our advertisers may employ cookies for user tracking, provided they adhere to prevailing legislation on privacy protection.
Security Measures
To maintain the security and confidentiality of collected information, our employees are trained in our security protocols. We conduct regular reviews of web security measures, limit access to information through secure authentication methods, and prohibit any unauthorized use or alteration of data.
Unsubscribing
Subscribers have the option to terminate their subscription at any time, which we promptly process by removing their email address from our active database.
Notification of Changes
In the event of any changes to our privacy practices, we will notify all subscribers via their registered email addresses.
