RCI Privacy Policy

The Recovery Context Inventory (RCI) is an online mental health profiling tool that is developed and administered by EVE, which is a programme in the Health Service Executive (HSE).

EVE-HSE, which may be referred to as “We” or “Us” or “Our” in this policy, respect the privacy of visitors to our website and are committed to the protection of their information. By using our site, you are accepting our privacy policy.

THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES TO VISITORS TO OUR PUBLIC FACING WEBSITE AT RECOVERYCONTEXTINVENTORY.COM. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO RCI ACCOUNT HOLDERS ONCE YOU LOG INTO YOUR RCI ACCOUNT.

At the moment, you cannot ‘sign-up’ to use the RCI from the public facing website. The RCI is currently being rolled out in a number of sites within Ireland and its use is currently limited to these areas. However, if you are interested in the RCI in any way please contact the RCI Research Development Team at rci@eve.ie

Direct Contact with the RCI Research Development Team
When you contact us, we will keep that correspondence (with your name, postal address, email address, and/or phone number), for future reference so that for example, we may keep a record of the types of questions we receive and/or can contact individuals about specific updates to the RCI.

Your name and postal address may be passed to a courier if we were to post information to you. We do not pass any other information to any other third party. If you have contacted us and do not want us to store this information please let us know in your correspondence.

Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it logs on to the internet. So every computer that logs onto the internet has an IP address.

As with most web servers, our server (which is the computer and software that houses the RCI) automatically notes the IP address of every computer that comes to the recoverycontextinventory.com website.

An IP address does not tell us things like your name or personal contact details. We may use IP addresses to protect our service, site or other users by blocking certain IP address from accessing our website.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on the recoverycontextinventory.com public website. If you have an RCI account, then Google Analytics is not being used when you have opened / are logged into your account.

Google Analytics is used so that we can better understand overall trends about the visitors who come to our website. It does not identify any individual person.

You can go to the Google Analytics website for more information about this tool, but some of the information Google Analytics tells us will include things like:
·         the countries our visitors are from
·         how long our visitors stay on the website
·         what pages are viewed by visitors
·         what types of website browsers are used on our site (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer)

An example of how we might use this information would be if we found that many visitors to our website viewed a certain page about a particular topic; knowing that this page is frequently visited allows us to understand that this is potentially an important topic to our visitors and so we may add more information about this topic to the website.
