ARETT SALES CORP.
PRIVACY POLICY
ARETT SALES’ COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by Arett Sales Corporation. Your privacy on the
Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Arett Sales, we want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information. This Privacy Policy discloses what information we gather
and how we use it.
INFORMATION ARETT SALES' GATHERS AND TRACKS
Arett Sales gathers two types of information about users:
- Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These
are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters and eDeals, from
either not opting out or opting in, and participation in polls and surveys.
- Information Arett Sales gathers through aggregated tracking information derived
mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us
to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and
sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Because Arett Sales
derives some of its revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing
such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to
users. Under no circumstances does Arett Sales divulge any information about an
individual user to a third party.
Arett Sales Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary
submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters and eDeals
We will offer a free electronic newsletter and eDeals to users. Arett Sales
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove
themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every
newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also
subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions
with us and enable us to see what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to
any particular user. Arett Sales may use a system to "tag" users after they have
voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
3. Surveys
Arett Sales may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content
to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in
these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of
this information about specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Our sites are not intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13.
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
(COPPA), we will never knowingly collect personally identifiable information
from anyone we know to be under the age of 13. If we learn that a user under the
age of 13 is publicly posting or sharing personally identifiable information on
or through our sites, then we will use reasonable measures to block that user
from accessing those areas of our sites.
Usage tracking
Arett Sales tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However,
we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Arett
Sales does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain
name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every user's browser).
Arett Sales sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in
our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual
users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it
will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have
specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off
your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Arett Sales uses
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising
system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click
rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this
site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in polling and
surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Arett Sales uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their
experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or
personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on
the interests of our users. We may use comments, information or feedback that
you may submit in any manner that we may choose without notice or compensation
to you.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to
send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls and
surveys. We send out eDeals to subscribers on a regular schedule and
occasionally send out special edition newsletters when we think subscribers
might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Arett Sales never
shares email mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and
don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us
continue to build a better service for you.
Arett Sales creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns
for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are
pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of
individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user
clicked on their ad.
In addition to the other times or occasions that we might disclose information
about users of our sites, we might also disclose information when required by
law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply
with a legal process; (b) enforce this Privacy Policy; (c) respond to claims
that any materials, documents, images, graphics, logos, designs, audio, video
and any other information provided from or on our sites violates the rights of
third parties; and/or (d) protect the rights, property or personal safety of
Arett Sales, its advertisers, sponsors, partners, users or the public.
We use reasonable precautions to keep the information that is disclosed to us
secure. We reserve the right to transfer information in connection with the sale
or other disposition of all or part of Arett Sales’ business and/or assets.
Furthermore, we cannot and will not be responsible for any breach of security by
any third parties or for any actions of any third parties that receive any of
the information that is disclosed to us. Our sites may also link to other
websites. We are not and cannot be responsible for the privacy policies of those
websites of third parties or how they treat information about their users.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Arett Sales uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit
your needs and help our advertisers, sponsors and partners better understand our
audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We will
not share information about individual users with any third party, except as
specified under “Use of Information” above.
SECURITY
Arett Sales operates secure data networks protected by industry standard
firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals
have access to the information provided by our customers.
For certain features available through our sites, we may require the use of
encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or your use of a UserID
and password after setting up a User Account. We use reasonable precautions to
protect the privacy of your UserID, password and User Account information by
utilizing an SSL connection. Accordingly, your UserID, password and User Account
information are encrypted using an SSL connection and are not expected to be
read in an intelligible form as they travel to our sites.
You, however, are ultimately
responsible for protecting your UserID, password and User Account information
from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the
use of required encryption technologies. You agree to: (a) immediately notify
Arett Sales of any unauthorized use of your UserID, password and/or User
Account, and/or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from
your User Account at the end of each session. While we may provide certain
encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your
confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot
guarantee or warrant that information transmitted through the internet is
secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption,
interception or error.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
- Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our
users

cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any of those
other websites. We do not share any of the personal information that you provide
to us with any of the websites to which our sites link, although we may share
aggregate, non-personally identifiable data with those other websites. Please
check with those websites in order to determine their privacy policies and your
rights under them.

disclose it.
