We understand you may have concerns about how information about you is gathered and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so sensibly and with care. As a visitor to the RWA website, it is important for you to know how we gather and disseminate information that may be collected from you through our website located at  www.rwater.com  or any of the RWA’s successor sites (collectively referred to as the Website). This Privacy Policy describes what information we may collect from you online, how it is collected and used, and with whom it is shared. The RWA reserves the right to change this policy at any time by posting a new Privacy Policy in its place. Therefore, you are responsible for checking this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. Your continued use of the site following any changes to the Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
