  10. The security of this Site, and of the servers and other computer equipment used to bring you this Site, is a high priority of VRR. We maintain this Site and all associated data with technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification, and improper disclosure. We follow industry-proven security procedures such as encrypted administrative communication, restricted access to underlying machines, and firewalls at network access points. No computer system or information can ever be fully protected against every possible hazard. But VRR is committed to providing reasonable and appropriate security controls to protect this Site and its information against foreseeable hazards.
  11. VRR’s servers will collect certain technical information from your computer when you access or use this Site. Below we have summarized this technical information:
    1. Internet Protocol Addresses. Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses are identification numbers assigned to a user’s computer by its Internet Service Provider each time the user logs onto the Internet, or are permanently assigned if a user has an open connection to the Internet.
    2. Web Logs. VRR maintains standard web logs that record basic information about visitors to this Site. Our web logs contain the following information:
      1. The type of browser you are using when you access this Site, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.;
      2. The type of operating system you use, for example, Windows 98;
      3. The Internet domain from which you access this Site and/or the address of the website you linked here from; and
      4. The date(s) and time(s) you visited this Site, and the pages you viewed and/or functions you used while you were at this Site.
    3. Use of IP Addresses and Web Log Information. VRR does not try to identify individuals or otherwise collect Identifiable Information from IP addresses or web log information. IP addresses and web log information are used by VRR to, among other things, administer the Site, help diagnose technical problems, to track and analyze aggregate data associated with the Site, to design this Site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. VRR may aggregate IP addresses and/or web log information, and may store, analyze, manipulate, display, disclose, distribute, retain and otherwise use such unidentifiable information. We may also provide IP addresses and/or web log information to law enforcement agencies if someone tries to damage this Site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way.
  12. On the Internet, a cookie is a piece of information that a website transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. VRR currently does not use “persistent cookies”, but does use “session cookies.” A “session cookie,” like a key, enables swift passage from one place to the next. Without a session cookie every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor. VRR uses session cookies to ensure that you are recognized when you move from page to page within the Site and that any information you have entered is remembered. The session cookie is removed when you log out of the Site or close your browser.
  13. Questions, comments or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy and/or this Site should be directed to VRR by e-mailing such questions, comments or complaints to “vrrinfo@reciprocityring. com”.
  14. VRR reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole discretion. VRR will provide notification of any change by posting the change on this Site. You are responsible for regularly reviewing this Privacy Policy and all such changes. Continued use of the Site after any such changes have been posted shall constitute your agreement to such changes.
