Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you may provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis, and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

Personal Information You Choose to Provide

Registration Information

You may provide us information about yourself, and your practices when you register for email newsletters and alerts.

If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.

Web Site Use Information

Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used.  Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site.  We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.  With your permission, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable.  If at any time you decide you do not wish to receive these offers you can let us know by sending us a note atridepublishing@gmail.com.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier.  When you visit a Web site, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies.  Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

As you interact with our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other visitors so your form information is only available to you.  In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security.  Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular.  This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers.  Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Simply put, we don’t.  We never share our member’s or visitor’s personal information with anyone outside our company.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication.  For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email.  All personal information you may enter on our Web site will be transmitted securely through our secure server via Secure Sockets Layers (SSL), 128 bit encryption services, which are authenticated and enabled byThawte.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?

You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect on-line and maintain in our database by emailingridepublishing@gmail.com.

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?

Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.  Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and policies.  Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
