3. Our use of cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record keeping purposes. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies.

Cookies are useful to estimate our number of members and determine overall traffic patterns through our website. If you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. This may mean you will not be able to take full advantage of Ripe's services.
4. Using and disclosing your personal information
Your personal information is confidential. Ripe will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent, unless: required by law; to implement our terms of service, including disclosing your personal information to third party financial institutions; to protect the rights, property or personal safety of another Ripe user, any member of the public or Ripe; or the assets and operations of the Ripe business are transferred to another party as a going concern. In seeking to give you the most worthwhile experience of our website possible, Ripe may use your personal information to send you information and product updates about products or services which you have requested. When you provide your personal information to us, Ripe will give you the choice as to whether or not you wish to receive further information about special offers, promotions, and changes to our products and services. If you indicate that you do not wish to receive these, we will not contact you further for these purposes. Please allow 28 days for your request to be processed.
5. Disclosing your personal information
Ripe and its affiliates recognise the trust you place in us when you give us personal information.

We will not otherwise disclose your personal information to other companies without your explicit consent.
6. We will not 'spam' you
We may contact you at the email or other address which you provide to us in order to:
Provide you with updated information about our website; or provide you with other information about our products and services which you may enjoy.

Ripe will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. We require our employees and data processors to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by Ripe.
