Information Collection

RLG� is the sole owner of the information collected on http://www.redlightgreen.com. RLG collects information from our users at several different points on this Web site.

In order to take full advantage of this Web site, we encourage you to register. During registration you give contact information in the form of your e-mail address. We use this address to provide the kind of service on our site in which our many users have expressed interest, for example, the ability to send formatted citations. We may use it in order to send marketing communications and/or information and updates about the system. Although it is optional to provide demographics (such as your student type and gender) and unique identifiers (such as the password associated with your username) when you register, we encourage the sharing of this information so that we can provide a more personalized experience over repeat site visits.

The RedLightGreen site enables you to discover the existence of library materials that are highly relevant to your area of interest, provides related avenues of research, and supports the checking of availability at specific libraries of your choosing. In the course of searching, RLG captures usage data in order to enrich future searching. This usage data will not be associated with any personally identifiable information. We only use personally identifiable information�that is, your e-mail address�to provide you with requested services, such as formatted citations and a saved list of found records.

We store information that we collect through cookies and log files to create a profile of our users.�A profile is stored information on individual users that tracks their functional preferences (such as their preferred library). This profile, consisting of the user name, password, and library and other preferences, helps tailor your visits to our Web site.

We DO NOT share your profile with other third parties.�

A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer that ties to information about you.�We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.�For the session ID cookie, once you close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. The session cookie is required to use the system, since it provides a way to store your search result set in our database for the duration of your session. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. For an explanation of the cookie concept, go to http://www.cookiecentral.com/content.phtml?area=2&id=1

By setting a cookie on our site, you would not have to log in with a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If you choose not to set a persistent cookie, you may still use our site; however, you will need to register each time in order to take advantage of requested features. For example, unless logged in, you cannot link to a preferred library or use citation formatting.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by http://www.redlightgreen.com � only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.�

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files.�This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track your movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.�IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use a tracking utility called WebTrends that uses log files to analyze your movement.

Service Announcements

On rare occasions it is necessary to send a strictly service related announcement.�For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might inform you through e-mail.�These communications are not promotional in nature. You can, however, choose to not receive communications of any kind from us, or you can deactivate your account.�

Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose certain information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our Web site.

We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Some versions of this site may appear with advertising. These ads may be delivered to you by third parties who would be our Web advertising partners.
