Privacy Statement
Your privacy is critically important to us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing users with a safe and functional personal learning and development environment. This Statement of Privacy applies to the RenChenZa.com site and the RenChenZa Learning Network and governs data collection and usage.
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone outside the RenChenZa Learning Network except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
- In our learning products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Collection of personal information
By registering on the RenChenZa Learning Network you will be required to provide us with a certain amount of personal information. We will not disclose any of your personal information to any other organization without your written consent unless authorized or required by law.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Andrew Ledford. (“RenChenZa”) operates several websites including RenChenZa.com, 101-Dog-Training-Tip.com, DogsOC.com, DogsLA.com, Long-Beach-Dogs.com and DogTrainingBusiness.com. It is RenChenZa’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, RenChenZa collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. RenChenZa’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how RenChenZa’s visitors use its website. From time to time, RenChenZa may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to RenChenZa’s websites choose to interact with RenChenZa in ways that require RenChenZa to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that RenChenZa gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at RenChenZa.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with RenChenZa – and who are given access to or purchase access to the Premium Services, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, RenChenZa collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with RenChenZa. RenChenZa does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Site Administrators may access your account/portfolio and its contents at anytime. Access is primarily in response to requested support for your continued use of the RenChenZa Learning Network or as per these Terms and Conditions. At times it may be used to evaluate the participation and the effectiveness of learning programs.
Aggregated Statistics
RenChenZa may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, RenChenZa may monitor the most popular accounts and blogs on the RenChenZa.com site or use spam filtering services to help identify spam. RenChenZa may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, RenChenZa does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
As RenChenZa Learning Network users you are able to determine what personal information you make available to others. By default, unless assigned Administrator, Course Creator, instructor, teacher, assistant teacher, assistant instructor or Tutor access rights, a user may only view your Display Name. This includes listings within a Notification report or Visitor Log.
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information we hold is not subject to loss or misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration.
In order to help protect your personal information, please do not disclose your Username or Password to person other than the Site Administrator.
RenChenZa discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on RenChenZa’s behalf or to provide services available at RenChenZa’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using RenChenZa’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. RenChenZa will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, RenChenZa discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when RenChenZa believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of RenChenZa, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a RenChenZa website and have supplied your email address, RenChenZa may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with RenChenZa and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs and onsite site announcements to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. However some of our learning programs require the sending of daily emails. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. RenChenZa takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
We may also collect system usage for statistical purposes however this data will not identify any individual.
