What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser -- along
with a Web page -- when you access a Web site. There are two types of cookies.
A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer's
memory. Because a session cookie is never saved, it is destroyed as soon as
you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a more permanent line of text
that gets saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive. Some RAM applications
also use session variables, which are similar to session cookies and are not
saved after you close your browser.
RAM uses session cookies only. We do not use any persistent cookies.
Certain applications on www.ramcampaign.org
require session cookies to function correctly. If you have session cookies disabled,
you may not be able to use these applications or features of our site.
Where they are used, RAM's session cookies and/or session variables remember
your selection criteria.
You do not need to have session cookies enabled to view static web content
on ramcampaign.org
We have set our software so that your browser will only return cookie information
to the domain where the cookie originated (in this case, www.ramcampaign.org).
No other site can request it.
Note: Regardless of the particular uses for cookies on the RAM Web site, we
will not share any cookie information with any third parties.
While RAM will make every attempt to protect the personal information that
you share with us, electronic mail is not secure against interception. If your
communication is very sensitive, you may want to send it by postal mail instead.
We want to be very clear: we will not obtain personally identifying information
about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information.
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration
of the information under our control. RAM will only use information for the
purpose for which you submitted it, such as replying to a request or forwarding
recent new releases to members of the press via e-mail.
All of our users' information is restricted in our offices and the offices
of the organizations running the RAM Campaign: Crosskeys Media, LLC (CKM) and
Devillier Communications, Inc. (DCI). Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. At
hire, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can
do to ensure our visitors' information is protected. Finally, the servers on
which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct
use of information, we will employ reasonable and current Internet security
methods and technologies. Aggregated, statistical information is also shared
with CKM and DCI for analysis and future planning purposes. This information
is not distributed or sold to other partners.
If you have any questions about the security at our Web site, you can send an
email to webmaster@ramcampaign.org.
