safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you
in making informed decisions when using our site and our services. This
statement will be continuously assessed against new technologies,
business practices and our participants' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of

collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
- Name

In
addition to providing the foregoing information, if you choose to

We provide the same protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are
Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web
site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs
may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent

of this information is associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information to send information
concerning AURA and RGA. Occasionally, we may
also use the information we collect to notify you about important

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers
to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small
pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's
hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on
one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by
the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's
transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to
move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions
over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier
and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server
logs to gather information about our Web site users' browsing
activities within our site, in order to constantly improve our Web site
and better serve our participants. Cookies may also be used on some
portions of the web site to enhance the usability of online forms and
other interactive content. This information assists us to design and
arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to
continually improve our Web site to better meet the needs of our
participants and prospective participants.
Cookies
help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to
our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs
allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our
Web site's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to
capture your individual email address or any personally identifying
information about you although they do permit us to send focused online
banner advertisements or other such responses to you.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We do not share any information collected with third parties outside of RGA.

given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these
offers by clicking the unsubscribe link when you receive an email.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for
the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers
to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web
site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to

rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
