Our Privacy Policy
In simple terms, we respect your privacy and treat
your personal information as if it were our own. We will
not sell your personal information to third parties.
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that
uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal
details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions
or provide services that you have requested.
That's it in a nutshell.
The long-winded version of our privacy policy can
be seen below. It appeals to lawyers and people who like to read
the fine print. Grab a chair and a cup of coffee, because it's
pretty long!
We have created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the
privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and
interacting with this web site. We hold the privacy of your personal
information in the highest regard. The following discloses our
information gathering and dissemination practices for this web
site.
We recognize the importance of protecting your privacy
and our policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us
and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site.
This policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies,
business practices and our customers' needs.
Rapid Languages is the sole owner of any information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
Rapid Languages collects information from our users at several
different points on our website. We stress that all personal information
is always treated as personal and confidential, unless specifically
stated otherwise.
An example of this is that when you sign up to
receive a Rocket Languages newsletter series (such as the 6 Day
Courses or free trials) your name and email address
is recorded and shared with Rocket Languages so that you can
be sent the Rocket Languages newsletters and/or free trial.

2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes
a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log files
to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our
Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after
our Web site.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing the products
and services you
requested, to process your payment, to monitor the use of the
service, our marketing and promotional efforts and improve our
content and service offerings, and customize our site's content,
layout, services and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve
our site and better tailor it to meet your needs.

us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by contacting
us by using the information provided on our contact page.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's
computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in
a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies.
Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser
only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent
to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are
usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not
to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser
to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies,
it is possible that some areas of our site will not function as
effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie cannot retrieve
any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use
cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary
for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log
files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting
our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This
helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Web site and
better serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any
personal information about you and we do not intentionally store
any personal information that your browser provided to us in your
cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected
to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers
on the network to identify your computer, similar to how the post
office uses zip codes to identify your location. IP addresses
are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic
and profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages
you request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that
uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal
details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process
transactions or provide services that you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by contacting
us.
Legally Compelled Disclosure
of Information
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires
it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose
account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing
this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service
or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.
Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site or the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users
of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go
from our Website to another web site, our Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect.
Your browsing and interaction on any other web site, including
web sites, which have a link on our Website, is subject to that
Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules
and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of
your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with
or without notice.
Our Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your information will be stored and processed
on our computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal
data in the United States may be less stringent than the laws of
your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information,
we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not
receive future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue
sending the particular messages as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. Information requested may
include contact information (such as name and shipping address),
and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use our services unsupervised and
we ask that children (under the age of 14) do not submit any
personal information to us. If you are a minor, you can use
this service only in conjunction with permission and guidance from your parents
or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership
In the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of its
assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part
of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when
changes are made to this privacy policy, we will post
any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However,
please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use
the personal information you have submitted to us under this
Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy
Policy, without your prior consent.
