Information Storage

The nature of internet browsing is such that this activity passively and automatically collects and discloses certain information about each individual’s use of the internet. This information may be associated with an individual’s Internet Protocol ("IP") address. This is a unique internet "address" which is assigned to all internet users by their Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). Our server logs record statistical information, such as visitors' IP addresses, type of operating systems, time and duration of visit, webpages requested, as well as identifying categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser types.

Cookies and Behavioural Advertising

Our Website makes use of both "sessional" and "persistent" cookies. We use cookies to store your preferences, record session information such as language preferences, record user-specific information on what pages you access or visit, develop information about your preferences and interests, alert you to areas that we think might be of interest to you when you return to our site, record past activity in order to provide better service when you return to our site, help rotate banner advertising so as to ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, and customize Website content based on your browser type or other information you provide.

For each visit to our Website, cookies may be used by our server to recognize where you have indicated your preference to be automatically logged in.

You may disable cookies using your browser's settings. Please consult your browser's help function for information on how to disable cookies. Note that if you disable cookies, certain features of our Website will not function to their fullest potential.

Rosa Rugosa or its service providers may place ads on our webpages. As a result of your visit to our site, or by clicking on these ads, we may collect passive information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream information.

On our Website, we store subscriber and password information in a secure manner not accessible to Web browsers, behind password protection, or off-line. We endeavor to use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our Website.

Some of the ads on our Website are served through one or more reputable ad-serving companies, including but not limited to Google.  These third parties may use non-personal information, such as webpages you visit and cookies, to provide ads that may be of interest to you.   In addition, we may use IP addresses to allow our third party advertising partners to display more targeted ads and content.  This process does not include the use of your Personal Information, nor do we share your Personal Information with these ad-serving companies. 

Job Applicants 

We may collect and use your Personal Information or any information you provide to us when you apply for a job, such as your previous employers, education, professional accreditations, or work experience (collectively, “Applicant Information”), whether you send us a resume; submit a job application on our Website; or submit a job application through a third party website.  Your Personal Information and Applicant Information may be used to make hiring decisions, and to comply with applicable laws.  Should you be hired, relevant portions of your Personal Information will be used to create and maintain your employment records.   By providing Applicant Information, you agree that we may contract the employers, organizations, schools, professional associations provided by you, to verify the accuracy of such information. 

All Personal Information and Applicant Information provided by you and during the application process must be true, complete and correct to the best of your knowledge.  Any misrepresentation or omission of facts may result in refusal to hire or, if hired, may result in your dismissal at any time regardless of when the false answer or omissions are discovered.
