own products and services, and such information will not be sold or disclosed to any third party

Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to “opt out” of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our website at the point at which we ask for information. For example, our subscription form has an “opt out” mechanism so users who receive a product from us but don’t want any marketing material can opt out from those communications. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt out of receiving these communications by using the opt-out mechanism within each offer, or the user may contact us via email at [email protected] to opt out as well.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Our website, The RTInsights.com contains links to other websites. Please be aware that we, RTInsights, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies.
