Welcome to the Privacy Policy for the Right to Know (RTK) website, an online resource provided by the Rhode Island Healthy Schools Coalition (RIHSC) where you can find honest, accurate, reliable sexual and reproductive health information. RIHSC knows you care about your privacy, and RIHSC cares about your privacy too!
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time, and the new version will take effect as soon as we post it, which we’ll indicate by changing the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Please come back to this page frequently to ensure you’re aware of any changes.
The term “personal information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person. The Right to Know website does NOT collect personal information such as name, email address, phone number, and physical address from its users.
Some information is collected automatically when you use the Right to Know website
As is true of most websites you visit, we collect non-personal information via IP addresses and cookies. An IP address is a numeric address assigned to your computer. We use IP addresses for system administration and security and to improve the value of the materials available on the site. Cookies are pieces of information that a website places in a file associated with your browser. This information also enables us to improve the usability of the site.
For example, we want to know how many people visit our site, what pages they view most frequently, and how long they spend on the site. However, we do not link IP addresses or cookies to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user’s sessions will be logged, but the user will remain anonymous.
Some of these cookies and other technologies are operated by RIHSC, and others are provided by our service providers and business partners. We use third-party data analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage patterns for the RTK website and to better understand our users. You can learn more about Google’s practices at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners and view its opt-out options at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you’d like to prevent third-party cookies from automatically collecting your non-personal information on our website and on other websites and apps, you can follow your browser or device’s instructions to block those cookies, or you can use the “opt-out” tools provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). If you decide to opt out of cookies, please note that certain parts of our website may not work as they are supposed to.
What about the links to other websites and online resources?
The RTK website may contain links to websites or other online resources owned and operated by third parties. RIHSC encourages you to review the privacy policies of those third-party websites and resources so that you understand how those third parties collect, use, and share your information. RIHSC is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties.
