Personal Information We Collect

Depending on how we interact with you, we may collect, use, store and transfer different types of personal information about you. This includes:

Information Collected from Individuals Outside of the United States

Our Services are U.S. based and therefore, if you are using the Services from outside the United States, including the European Union or European Economic Area, and provide us with personal information, please note that your personal information will be transferred, stored and processed in the United States. This is done either to ensure we are able to provide our services to you or where not necessary for the provision of our services (such as in the case of providing you with marketing communications), it is done only with your consent. Please note, however, that the data protection laws in the United States may not be as comprehensive as those in your country of residence. We are, however, unable to provide our services without handling your personal information in the United States.

How We Collect Information About You

We collect information from you and about you in different ways.

  • Direct Interactions. We collect most of the personal information about you we use from you directly. For example, you may give us a variety of your Identity Information, Contact Information, Payment Information, Account Profile Information, Correspondence Information, and Marketing and Communications Information when you:

  • Third parties or publically available sources. We may also collect information about you from third parties and commercially available sources, including from social media providers, data aggregators, and public databases. Please note that we may combine the various types of information we collect about you and use it as described in this Privacy Policy.
  • How We Use Your Information

    We use your personal information for the following purposes:

    Refer-a-Friend Program

    We offer rewards when you refer us to your friends here in the United States. This program does not accept referrals to individuals outside of the United States. If you choose to participate in our Refer-a-Friend program to connect us with your friend, we will ask for your friend’s name and email address. We will then send your friend a one-time email with an offer inviting him or her to purchase our products/services. In that email, your friend can choose if he or she would like to receive further communications from us. We store your friend’s information only to send this one-time email, after which we remove your friend’s information from our system.

    Information We Share

    External Third Parties. We will only share your personal information with external third parties in the following limited circumstances:

    We Provide You Choices

    You can subscribe to receive marketing offers or solicitations from us through email by emailing info@ar-bs.com. If you prefer not to receive marketing emails from us, please contact us at info@ar-bs.com. Please note that these requests may take up to 10 days to be effective.

    Please note that your request not to receive unsolicited commercial emails from us will not apply to messages that you request or that are not of a marketing nature. For example, we may contact you concerning any purchases you have made with us even if you opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial messages.

    If you have established a user account in connection with one of our Services, you may be able to review and request changes to some information that the Company maintains about you through your account settings or by contacting us at info@ar-bs.com.

    If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services contact us at info@ar-bs.com.

    California Residents

    If you are a California resident, you may request, up to one time each year, information about our sharing of personal information about you with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In this regard, our policy is that we will not share personal information about you with third parties for their direct marketing purposes if you instruct us not to do so.

    Third Party Websites

    Our Services may provide links to websites operated by third parties for your convenience and information. All of these websites and applications operate independently from us, and we do not control their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites and applications that you use to better understand their privacy practices.

    How We Protect Personal Information

    We maintain reasonable security procedures to help protect against the loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the information you provide through our Services. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

    Among other safeguards, we use Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") technology to help protect transmissions over the internet of your payment card data.

    Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or stored on a server can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information. If you prefer not to transmit your credit card number over the internet, you can contact us using the toll-free number listed on the website from which you want to order.

    Cookies and Tracking

    We and our partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual basis (that is, reports of your own activity) as well as on an aggregated basis (that is, reports of all user activity or of the activity of certain users as a group).

    You may be able to disable cookies by changing a setting in your web browser. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the Services features.

    We use Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5. Please note we do not currently support any browser-based Do Not Track (DNT) settings or participate in any DNT frameworks, and we do not assign any meaning to any potential DNT track signals you may send or alter any of our data collection or use practices in response to such signals.

    If you wish to not have your browsing information used for the purpose of serving you ads, you may opt-out by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

    Our Services include Social Media features, such as the Facebook Like button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social Media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date those terms will be effective.
