Certain visitors to our websites may choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that RIB gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask may ask visitors who submit questions to provide a name and email address.

We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
