We collect your personal information in the following ways: Registration In order to become a user, you must first create an account on our website.

Customer Service RNIA may collect information through the RNIA website in order to, among other things, accurately categorize and respond to a user’s inquiry. Cookies Like most websites, RNIA uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer which allows RNIA to recognize you as a user when you return to the RNIA website using the same computer and web browser. If your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to log into the RNIA website automatically. One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your RNIA account. The next time you visit the RNIA website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to log in before using the service. In order to access or change any of your private information, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer contains your persistent cookie. Additionally, if you log out of the RNIA website you will need to re-enter your password the next time you visit in order to log in to your account. Another type of cookie, called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the RNIA website. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. We do not use cookies for any other purpose other than those stated above, nor do we make cookie information available to any third party.
