We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Richardson Products Incorporated collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.

Registration
In order to use certain portions of this Web site, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as social security number), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. After registration information is collected, we will provide the user with a log-in identifier and a password.

Mailing List
If a user requests to be placed on our mailing list, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Richardson Products Incorporated will use this information for such purposes as sending the user paper publications, e-mail press releases and other correspondence and notifications.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our sweepstakes, contests or monthly drawings that may take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
