The privacy of all users of the Renaissance Agencies, Inc. website (www.renaissance-inc.com or www.renstudent.com, “Website”) is very important to us. We have adopted the following Internet Privacy Policy. The Policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our Website.

NOTICE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED AND DISCLOSED

This Policy tells you, among other things, what information we gather from you through our Website, how we may use or disclose that information, and our efforts to protect it. Please read this Policy carefully and feel free to contact us at webmaster@renaissance-inc.com or by telephone at (800) 537-1777 if you have any inquiries, complaints or questions regarding its contents. Our postal address is PO Box 2300, Santa Monica, CA 90407-2300

In connection with your use of our Website, we may collect the following information:

  • The domain name or Internet Protocol (IP) address, but not the e-mail address of visitors to our Website.
  • The e-mail addresses of users who communicate with us via e-mail.
  • Aggregate information on what pages on our Website users access or visit.
  • Information volunteered by the user, such as site registration and e-mail update requests.
  • Information necessary to complete transactions with us.
We use the personally identifying information you voluntarily provide to register you as a user of the Website or to complete transactions with us at your request. We will not use your information for any purpose that you have not expressly authorized. Your information is not sold, rented, or shared with other organizations for commercial purposes or in ways different than what is disclosed in the Privacy Policy.

From time to time, we may also disclose information to fulfill certain legal and regulatory requirements or if we believe, in good faith, that such disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect others' rights or to prevent harm.

CHOICE/OPTING-OUT

You may choose to restrict our use of your information. You may exercise your choice to "optout" of providing personal information in many ways. When selecting to use certain services or features of our Website, you can choose whether to share personal information with respect to the particular service or feature. If you receive communications from us that you do not want to receive, you can opt-out from receiving these communications, by requesting that we remove your user account from our database.

You may also "opt-out" entirely from providing personal information to us by not creating an account on our Website or not completing transactions with us online through the Web Site. You may also choose at a later date to have your name removed from our database.

However, certain sections of our Website do require registration in order to use these sections and services. If you choose not to register or provide certain information, these sections will not be available for your use.
We will not use your information for any purpose other than for those purposes you have authorized. We will not use your information for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally authorized by you.

ONWARD TRANSFER (TRANSFERS TO THIRD PARTIES)

We will apply the policies discussed above in the event we propose to disclose your information to a third party. If we propose to disclose your information to a third party that is acting as our agent or on our behalf, we will ensure that the third party has agreed to assure adequate protection of your information.

ACCESS

You can access your user account information only by contacting us directly at webmaster@renaissance-inc.com or (800) 537-1777. Ordinarily, we will not restrict access to your information except in rare cases where we reasonably believe that the rights of persons other than yourself would be violated.

SECURITY

Your user account containing your information is password protected. Only those who log on with your password can access your account. Any transactions requiring you to enter personal identifying information is submitted via a secure, encrypted page. We have taken appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, please remember that you play a valuable part in security as well. Your password to access your account should never be shared with anyone. After you have finished using the Website, you should log off and exit your browser so no unauthorized persons can use our Website with your name and account information. Furthermore, if you provide any information to parties who operate websites that are linked to or from our Website, different rules may apply to their collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of such other sites before revealing any sensitive or personal information. Despite precautions taken by you or by us, "perfect security" does not exist on the internet. We cannot ensure or warrant the ultimate security of any information you transmit.

DATA INTEGRITY

We make every effort to ensure that the information on the Website, and your account information which you have provided to us, is reliable for the use you intend, and that it is accurate, complete, and current. To assist us in ensuring that your information is relevant on an on-going basis for its intended purposes, we encourage you to update your information on the Website as frequently as is necessary.

COOKIES

Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to a user’s computer for purposes of storing information regarding user’s preferences. Just as many major web sites use cookies as a standard practice to provide useful information to a user, Renaissance Agencies, Inc. uses cookies to deliver web site content specific to your identified interests and to guide you through your session on the Website. By themselves, cookies do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. A user can opt not to take advantage of the cookie benefits by setting his or her browser to refuse cookies.

AD SERVERS

We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Renaissance Agencies, Inc. is concerned about the safety of children and their use of the internet. This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If we receive actual knowledge that we have received such personal information without the required verifiable parental consent, we will delete the information from our database as soon as we practically can.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND FUTURE CHANGES

This Privacy Policy is effective as of September 1, 2005. If we change our information practices in the future, we will post the changes to our Web Site to notify you and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our Website periodically.
