Privacy
Statement
Information
Collection and Use
Aareas
Interactive is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement. Aareas Interactive
collects information from our users at several different points on our
website.
Registration
At several
different points on our website, a user may complete a registration
form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information
(such as name and email address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information
(such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as social
security number), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized
experience on our site. Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on
the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of
a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply
terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user
would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time
while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use
our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited
in some areas of our site.
Cookies
can also
enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance
the experience on our site. Some of our business partners use cookies
on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to
or control over these cookies.
Log
Files
We use
IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will
share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person.
Links
This web
site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected
by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user
wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address.
Surveys
& Contests
From time-to-time
our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation
in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website
takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers
such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. While
we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All
of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter,
as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they
can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the
servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept
in a secure environment, behind a electronically locked door.
Notification
of Changes
If there
are changes our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our web
site so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any
point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or
not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
