Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Retail Data Systems public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Retail Data Systems does not read any of your private online communications.

Retail Data Systems encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Retail Data Systems so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Retail Data Systems is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Retail Data Systems and Retail Data Systems family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

Retail Data Systems collects and uses your personal information to operate the Retail Data Systems Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Retail Data Systems also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Retail Data Systems and its affiliates. Retail Data Systems may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Retail Data Systems does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Retail Data Systems may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Retail Data Systems may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Retail Data Systems, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Retail Data Systems does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Retail Data Systems keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Retail Data Systems, in order to determine what Retail Data Systems services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Retail Data Systems to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Retail Data Systems Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Retail Data Systems or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Retail Data Systems; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Retail Data Systems, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Retail Data Systems Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Retail Data Systems pages, or register with Retail Data Systems site or services, a cookie helps Retail Data Systems to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Retail Data Systems Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Retail Data Systems features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Retail Data Systems services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Retail Data Systems secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Retail Data Systems secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
