ROD’s promise not to sell or voluntarily disclose information applies to information under our control. We cannot guarantee the independent privacy practices of third-party providers.
Where third-party tools are used, we encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of those providers.
We strive to select tools that respect visitor privacy and to limit unnecessary data collection. We remain responsible for our own use and configuration of those tools, including applicable privacy obligations.
