Read, Swatman and Voigt, RSV International, RSV USA Consulting Incorporated and RSV Minerals is strongly committed to protecting your privacy while interacting with our content, products and services. We want to provide a safe and secure environment for you and your children.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you what kind of information we may gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct this information. Our policy allows you to choose what kind and how much information you provide to us and to control how we use whatever information you give us. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying experience while allowing you to control your privacy and to give you a means to voice any questions or concerns you may have.

This policy applies only to rsv.co.za and not to other companies’ or organisations’ websites to which rsv.co.za is linked.

Collection of information
Information is collected from you primarily to make it easier and more rewarding for you to use our services. Depending on the service you are accessing, you could be asked to provide information such as your name, email address or information about what you like and do not like. It is entirely your choice whether to respond to these questions or not.

rsv.co.za collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous information. For instance, we may collect information to tell us that five hundred people visited this Privacy Policy today, but we do not know their names, where they live or their date of birth – they are ‘anonymous’ to us. Many of the individuals who access our services are anonymous to us.

The second type of information that rsv.co.za collects is personal information. rsv.co.za will collect personal information that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address, or postal address, when you provide it to us. With this information, rsv.co.za can provide a variety of personalised and enhanced services.

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal information about you when you submit a request. Certain information may be required, such as your name, company, internet address or screen name, billing address in order to provide that service to you. This information may also be used to inform you of additional services which may interest you. You can choose not to receive such information when you are undertaking service registration on our website. We may also ask about your interests, but it is your choice whether to respond. How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to rsv.co.za is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us, for example when you take part in a discussion forum or leave feedback on our website.

Credit card or Banking details
RSV will never ask for Credit Card or Banking details and request that you do not enter it on any of the forms on rsv.co.za

Use of anonymous information
rsv.co.za automatically gathers anonymous information to monitor the use of rsv.co.za like the numbers and frequency of visitors to rsv.co.za and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our audiences use parts of the site, so we can improve rsv.co.za to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many users as possible. rsv.co.za may publish or provide this aggregate data to other people.

Use of personal information
rsv.co.za will only use the personal information you have chosen to provide us for the purpose for which you provided it. rsv.co.za will not use it for any other purpose without your consent.

Cookies
The rsv.co.za site currently does not use cookies.

Disclosure
There will be occasions where it will be necessary for RSV to disclose your personal information to third parties. RSV may be required by law to disclose the information, or RSV may be required to disclose your personal information to third parties to provide the service you have requested, for example, if you purchase products or services from RSV, RSV may need to disclose your personal information to third parties in order to bill and deliver requested services. However, the disclosure will only be made where it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which you disclosed your personal information. Otherwise than stated above, we do not disclose personal information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any organisation or person outside RSV unless you have authorised us to do so. For example, when you contribute to an online forum you may want to publish your name and email address.
