Right to Collect Personal Information:
You can visit the Websites (excluding the 'Contact Us' portion of the Websites) without revealing any information about Yourself. We shall collect information that is said to be autonomous over the RCN network. IP addresses and information collected via "Cookies" are examples of autonomous information. "Cookies" are small text files that store basic information that a Websites can use to recognize repeated visits and as an example, recall Your name if this has been previously supplied. Aggregated data is compiled into statistical and demographic information that RCN uses, and may share with others, to show preferences of its User base as a whole, but not the preferences of any individual User. Shared aggregated data does not include a level of detail that will permit anyone to identify any individual person's usage or preferences. By accepting
the terms and conditions contained herein, You agree that We may collect and store Your personal information which will only be used for the purposes for which it was collected or as set out in this Privacy Policy and any other legitimate purpose.
The Websites may contain hyperlinks to websites of RCN business partners, advertisers, sponsors and to such other websites that are not affiliated with RCN and that may or may not have similar practices in place to protect the privacy of information that You supply. RCN encourages everyone to review the privacy statements of each of the websites that are linked to or accessed from the Website so that there will be no surprise as to how each visited website collects, uses and distributes information. RCN cannot warrant the security of the information which You transmit to those websites.
Information Usage and Security Procedures:
By entering Your personal identifiable information, You accept that We may retain Your personal identifiable information which We may use in an aggregated format as RCN property. We may use the information in RCN sole discretion and without any compensation to You, for any legitimate purposes as provided in the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
We are committed to the confidential treatment of all personally identifiable information received from You, both on computer servers, physically or otherwise, and secure Your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure in secure environments.
To this end, We use industry standard methods such as firewalls, encryption and system access controls, and RCN security practices are regularly reviewed against industry best practices by internal staff and independent third parties. However, as no computer or network based product exists that can provide perfect security, RCN cannot guarantee Your information as completely risk free.
Except as otherwise noted herein, all information including the personal identifiable information and autonomous information that RCN collects when You visit/use the Websites, is used only for normal business purpose.
It is accessible by RCN employees, internal staff and installation/sales agents to the extent necessary for RCN to install, market, offer, sell, provide and monitor the technical operability of the network and/or the Websites.
RCN also provides access of information to the extent required for the tax, legal, accounting and other professionals hired by RCN to
fulfil their fiduciary or representative duty. All such professionals are bound to maintain the confidentiality of information supplied to them by contractual or ethical obligations. RCN may vary the frequency of access to information depending on its business needs which may vary from time to time.

We will do so in the manner as prescribed by legislation. Such interception, disclosure, monitoring and storage may take place without Your knowledge. In that case, We will not be liable to You or any third party for any damages howsoever arising from such interception, disclosure, monitoring and storage.
