ONLINE PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Last Updated October 27, 2022

The Reading Recovery Council of North America (RRCNA) respects your privacy. When this policy mentions “RRCNA” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the Reading Recovery Council of North America. This privacy policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we will process your personally identifiable information on our websites. Please read this policy to learn more about the ways in which we collect and use your personal data. If we make any material changes to this policy, we will notify you in accordance with the process described in the Changes to This Policy section below. By using our website and services, you consent to our collection, use, disclosure, and all other types of processing of your personal data, as described in this policy.

As a visitor, you may use this website without revealing any personal information. Only aggregate data (such as the number of users, hits per page, country of origin) is collected. This data is used to update and improve information provided on the website and does not include any personally identifying information. For areas of the website that do request personal information, following is a summary of how that information is used.

Credit card security
As a convenience to its members and other website visitors, RRCNA has arranged for credit card payment for memberships, donations, conferences, and product purchases. All transactions through the RRCNA website are secure. Credit card numbers and amounts are encrypted and sent to a credit card authorization center for service and approval. RRCNA staff and service representatives do not receive full credit card numbers and emails related to credit cards, and no credit card numbers are stored on our website. Despite the high level of security, some visitors may choose not to transmit credit card information electronically. This website includes order forms that can be downloaded and mailed. For products and publication orders, RRCNA maintains a toll-free number, 1-877-883-7323.

Membership forms
Information on these forms is designed to help us provide service to members such as member publications, notices of conferences, and information related to implementation of Reading Recovery.
Occasionally, RRCNA provides its membership mailing address list to carefully selected companies, for a fee. If members prefer not to receive mailings from publishers or vendors, they may designate their preference on all current membership forms. Members also may email the membership department or call 614-310-7322 to relay their preference to an RRCNA staff member. Email addresses and telephone numbers are never shared with third party vendors.

Product and publications order forms
Information submitted to the product and publications order department is used only to fill orders. This information is never released for third party use.

Conference registration forms
Conference registration forms allow the conference department to process registrations, payments, and session requests. Attendee names and postal addresses are sometimes made available to conference exhibitors.

Membership directory
RRCNA publishes an online password-protected membership directory in the Members Only section of the website. Only those with a member ID and password may use this section of the website. The purpose of the membership directory is to allow professional exchange of information among Reading Recovery personnel and RRCNA members. RRCNA does not distribute the membership directory to any third parties either in electronic or printed form.
