Reverse Logistics Association respects the privacy of our customers and users of this site. This Privacy Notice identifies the practices of Reverse Logistics Association and its affiliates (collectively, "RLA") in the United States as they relate to the collection, maintenance, use and sharing of personal information (which is information that identifies you or is about you) collected through this web site. This Privacy Notice is meant to help you understand our privacy practices, including what Personal Data we collect, why we collect it, what we do with it, and how we protect it, as well as your individual rights.

Data Privacy at the Reverse Logistics Association

RLA has established a comprehensive privacy program, including a global privacy office and a chief privacy officer, designed to help us respect and protect your data privacy rights.

Reverse Logistics Association Website Privacy Statement

RLA respects the privacy of visitors to its websites; as a result, we have developed this website privacy notice. This website privacy notice applies only to the operation of websites that directly link to this notice when you click on "privacy statement" in the website footer.

Through this website RLA will collect information that can identify you, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and other similar information ("Your Information") when it is voluntarily submitted to us (however, see discussion below about "IP Addresses" if you have a broadband connection). We will use Your Information to respond to requests you may make of us, and from time to time, we may refer to Your Information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our websites, products, and services. We may also use Your Information to contact you and/or provide you with general information about our products and services. We may also enhance or merge Your Information with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.

Any other information transferred by you in connection with your visit to this site ("Other Information" - that is, information that cannot be used to identify you) may be included in databases owned and maintained by RLA or its agents. RLA retains all rights to these databases and the information contained in them. Other Information we collect may include your IP Address and other information gathered through our weblogs and cookies (see below).

This site may use a technology known as web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow this site to collect web log information. A web beacon is a graphic on a web page or in an e-mail message designed to track pages viewed or messages opened. Web log information is gathered when you visit one of our websites by the computer that hosts our website (called a "webserver"). The webserver automatically recognizes some non-personal information, such as the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the website you came from, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Windows 2000), and the domain name and address of your Internet service provider (e.g., AOL). We may also include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages in order to determine whether messages have been opened.

This website may use a technology called a "cookie." A cookie is a piece of information that our webserver sends to your computer (actually to your browser file) when you access a website. Then when you come back our site will detect whether you have one of our cookies on your computer. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the site and help us analyze site usage more accurately. For instance, our site may set a cookie on your browser that keeps you from needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the site.

This website uses Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet (it is a "dynamic" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, it is possible that your IP Address that we collect, or even perhaps a cookie we use, may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because with some broadband connections your IP Address doesn't change (it is "static") and could be associated with your personal computer. We use your IP address to report aggregate information on use and to help improve the website.

You should be aware that this site is not intended for, or designed to attract, individuals under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is an individual under the age of 18.

Product Orders: When ordering from this web site, you may be asked to provide personal information such as name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and credit/debit card information. We may use personal information to process your order. We do not share that information with third parties except to the extent necessary to complete the order.

Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may conduct business and individual customer surveys.

Personal information and responses to the survey will remain confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.

We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our customer surveys and aggregate it with the responses of other customers to create broader non-personal or aggregated responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information).

This aggregated information may be shared with third parties as it does not contain personal information.

Effect of Providing Personal Information

Reverse Logistics Association Does Not Share Your Personal Information

RLA does not rent or sell your personal information for marketing by any third parties on their behalf. RLA does not engage in any form of 'spam' email or unsolicited telemarketing. Your personal information will only be used by RLA and its representatives in response to your requests for assistance or to process your product orders, with the following exceptions:

5. We may also provide Your Information with affiliates of RLA or to a third party in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this website to which the information relates, in which case we will require any such affiliate or buyer to agree to treat Your Information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

How long we keep Your Information

We will retain Your Information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you to participate in RLA pages; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; or (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

Data Transfer

We may transfer the Your Information we obtain about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information originally was collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. To the extent required by applicable law, when we transfer Your Information to recipients in other countries (such as the United States), we will protect that information as described in this Online Privacy Notice.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA"), we will comply with applicable legal requirements regarding the provision of appropriate safeguards for the transfer of Your Information to recipients in countries for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision.

Data Security

While we try to protect the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot and do not guarantee that our security measures will prevent unauthorized third-parties (often called "hackers") from obtaining personal information without permission. We will use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information on our internal systems, but hackers or other unauthorized persons may obtain access to your personal information without our permission.

The security of your financial information (i.e., credit/debit card information) is important to the RLA. RLA encrypts your personal and financial information. Any credit card or similar financial information is sent directly to our payment processor. We do not store any credit card or similar information on our servers Once your financial information reaches us, it resides on a server that is guarded both physically and electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If a child has provided us with personal information, we ask that a parent or guardian of the child contact us at the phone number or addresses stated above, and if we can find it, we will delete that child's personal information.

Cautions and Warnings

Please exercise caution when submitting personal information online. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your passwords and other financial and personal information. Your usage of this site constitutes an acknowledgement and assumption of these risks.

Although RLA asks for your personal information on this web site in connection with providing you with services, RLA will not ask you for any personal information in any emails. RLA may send you electronic mail messages in accordance with United States law, but you should not respond to any electronic mail messages asking for your personal information, especially if the messages ask for your passwords or credit/debit card information. These messages are often called "phishing," and they are designed to steal personal information for identity theft and other bad purposes.
