Agora Publishing Privacy Statement

Agora Publishing takes individual privacy very seriously. We are also aware of the threats to your security and privacy on the Internet. Please take a few moments to review the steps that Agora takes to ensure your privacy and security while giving you the best possible customer service as you use our web sites.

 Cookies

Cookies are small files placed on your hard drive by an Internet server when you visit a web site. Some cookies can be used to identify your computer each time you visit a site. Agora web sites only use cookies to allow authentication for access to the Subscriber Only areas of our sites. In other words, you can leave the site and come back without having to re-enter your user name and password every time (within a set time period). We do not use cookies to track your browsing habits or collect any information about you.

 Submitting Data

Visitors to www.richebacher.com are asked to submit a log-on name and password to visit Members Only sections of the sites. This is to ensure you can receive the services you are paying for.

 Ordering Online

Any data you submit to us through an online order form is transferred to us via a Secure Sockets Layer -- an encryption protocol -- and is kept in databases that cannot be accessed from outside our firewall. In other words, any data you send us is encrypted, so in the unlikely event a hacker intercepts your data, it cannot be easily read. Our firewall is a mechanism that prevents access to our servers by anyone outside of the company. Agora does not sell or rent your name to anyone. That means that only authorized employees of Agora ever have access to any information you submit. We may use your name and address to send you information on other Agora products that may suit your interests. And, although we disagree with it, we must turn over any pertinent information to any law enforcement agency that takes the proper steps to require it.

 E-mail

If you subscribe to The Richebächer Letter via e-mail, your name and e-mail address will be placed in a database we use to send out the issues. As with all other personal information, only employees of Agora Publishing have access to this data. We do not give e-mail addresses to outside companies. Any e-mail you send to The Richebächer Letter or any of our other publications is completely confidential. For security reasons, if your inquiry is about one of your subscriptions, we may ask you to submit some additional information only to verify your identity. Remember, in this case we are only asking you to confirm information you have already given us.
