Cookies
When
you log in or register on a Radical Scholar web site, Radical Scholar's
web servers send a string of text called a "cookie" to your browser,
which stores it in its memory. The text identifies Radical Scholar and
includes a string of numbers that represent your rights to access
restricted material on Radical Scholar’s web sites. As your browser
connects to Radical Scholar sites, it automatically sends the cookie
information back to Radical Scholar’s servers so that your access
rights can be determined very quickly. In addition to this, some of our
services (Forums, Gallery, etc.) need to recall selections you have
made during your session so that they display the correct information
to you. In such cases, when you close your browser, this cookie
information disappears. It is never written to a file on your machine.
Additionally,
we employ persistent cookies to prevent the re-appearance of the poll
or previously entered data on the main entry pages, this is done to
improve the user experience. If you do not accept cookies then these
will always re-appear.
Security:
Radical Scholar takes physical, electronic and managerial steps to
maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable
information we collect, including limiting the number of people who
have physical access to our database servers, as well as electronic
security systems and password protections that guard against
unauthorized access. However, Radical Scholar makes no representation,
warranty or guarantee that such information will remain secure and
accurate at all times. In addition, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to Radical Scholar, and you do so at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy:
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason, we
do not collect or maintain information from individuals we actually
know are under 13, and no Radical Scholar web site/webpage is targeted
to attract anyone under 13. We request that all visitors under 13 to a
Radical Scholar webs site not disclose or provide any personally
identifiable information. If we discover that a child under 13 has
provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete
the child's personally identifiable information from our records.

We may provide access to your personally identifiable information when
legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or

information is provided only for that purpose.
In
the event Radical Scholar goes through a business transition, such as a
merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its
assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of
the assets transferred.

functionality and content on Radical Scholar we may make changes to our
