Cookies
When you visit some websites, their web servers generate pieces of information known as cookies, which helps webmasters understand how users interact with their site's content and services. Websites use cookies to track one's activities on a website (e.g., pages visited, links clicked on, etc.), and to record information about the user so when the user returns to the site, customized features can be provided.
There are two types of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your web browser’s memory cache and will expire when the browser is closed. A session cookie is not placed on any hard drive, and it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is saved to a file on your hard drive and is accessed whenever you re-visit the website that put it there. This lets that website remember what you were interested in the last time you visited.
We use persistent cookies to enable Google Analytics to differentiate between new and returning visitors to the Website. Persistent cookies remain on your computer between visits to SBA.gov until they expire.
The RBHA may utilize third party services to enhance its distribution of data and information (e.g., videos) through links from the Website. A persistent cookie may be set by such a third party provider when you click on the provider's link in order to access RBHA data (e.g., play a video).
By default, persistent cookies and web measurement technologies are automatically used when you visit the Website. Nevertheless, if you decide to disable or remove cookies from your browser, you will continue to have access to all information and resources on the Website. To learn more about how to disable cookies in your browser, please refer to your browser's website.
Information collected from interactive forms and surveys
The Website provides interactive forms that let you voluntarily submit personal information (such as your e-mail address, name, or organization). This occurs when you register to join the RBHA, to submit information and interact with other community features; registering to receive e-mail updates and newsletters; and sending questions and comments to the RBHA. In these cases, all submitted information is used only for the express purposes for which it is provided and is not made available to any third party.
The RBHA only shares information you voluntarily provide with other government agencies if required by law. The RBHA never collects information or creates individual profiles for commercial marketing. Any personal information you provide will be protected to the extent permissible under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act.
Electronically submitted information is maintained and destroyed according to the principles of the Federal Records Act and the regulations and records schedules of the National Archives and Records Administration, and in some cases may be covered by the Privacy Act and subject to the Freedom of Information Act. A discussion of your rights under these laws can be found on the Freedom of Information Act home page.
