Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding this privacy policy, please email us at privacy@regainamerica.com.
   

Information Collection and Use
RegainAmerica is an online collaboration and social networking site.   It allows members to create individual and collaborative content as well as  connecting people through networks of friends and special interest groups. To accomplish this, each member creates a profile containing personal information. 

RegainAmerica collects Member provided information such as name and email address to authenticate Members and to send notifications related to RegainAmerica services.  Member email addresses are protected and are not available to other Members or sold for any reason.  RegainAmerica also collects additional profile information including, but not limited to: gender, age, location, personal interests, education and occupation.  This information is used for:

• assisting Members to communicate and find other Members with similar interests
• helping RegainAmerica to provide better services for its Members
• providing more meaningful and targeted (personalized) advertising (this is how RegainAmerica pays for this free service)

Additional profile information may be stored at the Members choice including, but not limited to images, avatars, video clips, instant messaging contacts, personal website address and signatures.   This information, if provided by the Member, will be visible in the Member profile to all RegainAmerica visitors.  Members can change and control how other Members see this information at any time.

RegainAmerica also records non-personally identifiable information including, but not limited to access time, IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type.  Non-identifying and aggregate information is used to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.  User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes.
   

Information Sharing and Disclosure
Except as described above, RegainAmerica does not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any personal information, unless required by law, to enforce the RegainAmerica Terms of Service, or to protect the safety of members of the public and/or RegainAmerica members.  However, RegainAmerica may share non-personally identifiable profile information and aggregate use information with advertisers and other third parties in order to present Members and others with more targeted advertising, products, and services.  In such cases, RegainAmerica will never disclose information that could personally identify the Member.

RegainAmerica reserves the right to transfer personal information to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of RegainAmerica or substantially all of its assets to that successor in interest.
   

Cookies
RegainAmerica websites use "cookies." Cookies are small amounts of information that are sent to web browsers to assist you when you return to this site or a specific area on the site. The cookies used here retain session information, or more specifically, the options selected to determine your itinerary and your login state (so you dont have to re-login every time you click on a new part of the site). Cookies are not retained by the site but reside on your machine and are marked for removal by your browser as soon as the browser is closed. Cookie data is retained only for the duration of your login session and then removed as soon as the browser is shut down.  Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

You may be able to configure your browser to accept or reject all or some cookies.   If you choose to reject cookies from regainamerica.com, you may not be able to sign in or use other other RegainAmerica sites that rely upon them.
   

Third Party Advertising Networks
RegainAmerica displays targeted advertisements based on Member profile information and/or page content.  These ads may be delivered to Members by RegainAmerica or one of our Web advertising partners.  Our Web Advertising partners may use cookies.  This is done so that they can recognize your computer each time they send an advertisement.  This allows them to compile information about where you saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on.  This permits them to deliver targeted ads that will be most useful to you.  RegainAmerica does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact or view a targeted ad.

RegainAmerica does not have access to or control over cookies that might be placed by the third-party advertising partners.  This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by RegainAmerica only, and does not cover the use of cookies by any other party. 
   

Links
RegainAmerica websites contain linnks to other websites.  These include links that are put there by RegainAmerica (such as advertisements, RegainAmerica written content, etc), as well as by RegainAmerica members.  RegainAmerica is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of other sites.  When linking to or following a link to another site, Members should read the privacy policy stated on that site.  This privacy statement only covers information collected by RegainAmerica on RegainAmerica sites.
   

Member Contributed Content
Members should be aware that whenever they post or upload content (articles, images, video, etc) to RegainAmerica, this becomes public information, which can be accessed by the public.  While all private email addresses remain secure (the address maintained in the Member profile), once the RegainAmerica name has been made public others can use this to communicate with you.  Messages sent to the RegainAmerica name will be forwarded to the Member at his or her registered email address.  Members and non-Members can then in turn communicate with you on the site, possibly including the sending of unsolicited communications.
  

Our Commitment To Data Security
RegainAmerica member accounts are protected by member-created passwords.  RegainAmerica takes every precaution to protect Member information.  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.

Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of Member account information.  It is the responsibility of each Member to keep their password confidential.  Do not share this information with anyone.  If you are sharing a computer with anyone, always log out before leaving RegainAmerica to protect access to your information from subsequent users.

Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member information at any time.  For additional information about the security measure used at RegainAmerica, please contact us at privacy@regainamerica.com.
    

How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
Members can modify and update all their personally identifiable information at any time by logging into their account and accessing features such as Edit Profile.  We use these procedures to better safeguard your information and so Members can personally make sure that any and all information is accurate and conveys only what they wish it to be.  Members can correct factual errors in their personally identifiable information directly through the profile tools mentioned above.
       

Illegal Activities
RegainAmerica will not tolerate the use of this site for any illegal activities.  RegainAmerica will fully cooperate with any and all appropriate law enforcement agencies and/or court orders requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or locate any Member engaged in illegal activities.  Such activities include, but are not limited to pornography, spam, scamming, fraud, and others. Further information can be found in our Terms of Service.
   

Privacy Policy Changes
RegainAmerica may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services and customer feedback.  We will notify Members about significant changes by sending a notice to the Member registered email address and/or by placing a prominent notice on the RegainAmerica site.
