You can also change or update your information by logging into your account.

Log Files

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, WHICH DOES NOT IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL USERS, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

We use a third-party tracking service, Google Analytics that uses cookies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate, such as usage and volume statistics, which we use to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. More information about Google Analytics can be found here.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookie on this site. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.

We use both session ID cookies and/or persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file. More information on cookies is available here.

We set a persistent cookie to store information regarding your visitation of the site. We also set a persistent cookie to store information regarding your profile. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as logging in, may be limited.

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) may use cookies on our site. See "Third Party Advertisers." We do not link these cookies to personally identifiable information.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by this site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

IP Addresses

If you are particularly concerned about your online privacy, there are several services that offer free IP-cloaking. Just do a quick search on Google and find one you like.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)

Some of our third-party advertising partners employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help them better manage their advertisements on our site by informing them what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.

We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt out of these emails, you may change your email settings on your "Edit Profile" page.

Third Party Advertisers

We share aggregate website usage information with third-party advertisers and potential advertisers. This information is not personally identifiable.

Links to Other Sites

This website contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by C and PI Research, LLC. Please be aware that we, C and PI Research, LLC, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.

We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Rankings & Rating a Profile

In order to rate a profile, you must register with RealRank.com. C and PI Research will provide you with a password that allows you to log in and rate another profile. C and PI Research will not use your email address for any purpose other than verifying your eligibility to rate another profile, managing your account and notifying you of ratings made to your own profile (unless you also provide your email address to C and PI Research in another context, in which case C and PI Research may use it in the manner authorized in that context). Registering with RealRank.com will create a profile of your own, and make whatever information you choose to be visible open to the public.

Your ratings will be combined with other ratings (if any) of other users to provide the aggregate data upon which the ratings are based. Your choices may also be shared with or sold to third parties or otherwise exploited by C and PI Research. However, C and PI Research will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information (such as your email address) except under the circumstances described in our "Legal Disclaimer" section above.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on our website, you can email us at info@realrank.com with the subject line "Privacy."
