Who we share your data with

We do not share data collected on this website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. RECE website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

To better safeguard your information and protect your privacy and security, we will first take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to your information. Once credible evidence of your positive identity is received by RECE , you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.

How the information you provide is used

RECE will use the information you provide about yourself only to complete the appropriate response to your submitted information; such as, but not limited to: administering the RECE organization, administering the website, completing  your purchases of membership dues, sending you invoices, payment reminders,  non-commercial marketing communications relating to our organization or selected third parties, enquiries/complaints made by or about you relating to our website, to keep our website secure and prevent fraud, and verify compliance with the terms and conditions governing the use of our website.

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

Finally, we will never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ways described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

How we protect your data

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. These procedures include storing all personal information on secure (password and firewall protected) servers and the encryption of all electronic financial transactions.

You acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

You are responsible for keeping the password you use for accessing our website confidential.
