What Information Does Rural Access Gather?

When you register for a Rural Access account or apply for a career opportunity, Rural Access obtains contact information, such as your name, address, and phone number, as well as your resume information. When you use Rural Access's service, our systems record information about your session, such as the dates and times of use, and the specific Internet address assigned to you. Rural Access also tracks requests you make for information on Rural Access's products and services, and responses you provide to Rural Access surveys. Finally, Rural Access keeps records of communications you have with Rural Access's support team. Except in extraordinary circumstances (when we receive a court order, to protect the company's rights or property, or in emergencies where someone's safety is at risk), Rural Access does not keep track of what sites you visit when you are using the service.
