ARSHI is committed to user privacy in our products and services. This policy
outlines our personal information handling practices. If you give us personal
information, we will treat it according to this policy.
ARSHI encourages you to read this privacy policy and those
of all web sites you visit. Below is a summary of ARSHI's online privacy
policy.
Types and uses of personal information.
Your personal information is used in the following ways:
- User IDs and Passwords. Provides you with access to your profile
areas and to protected content.
-
Account Information. These tell us more about
who you are, how to contact you, and your shipping and billing information.
Also contains any preferences you have provided, such as language,
email format and interests.
-
Customer Feedback and Support. Provides a
mechanism for requesting information from ARSHI. Also used to tell us
how we can improve our products, services and site designs.
-
Email Correspondence. Used to raise and respond
to issues and inquiries of all types. Also used to distribute information
about ARSHI, our products, and services.
- Transactions. Shows which products and services you have requested.
We will only use your personal information in the ways
specified when it was collected. We will not subsequently change the way
in which we use your personal information, unless you consent to the new
usage.
Security measures.
We protect the personal information you share with us.
Access to your personal information is limited to people who need it to
do their job.
Authorized third party agents may also need access to
some of your personal information. For example, if we need to ship/mail
something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping/mailing
company. We only provide third party agents with the minimum amount of
information needed to complete the requested service or transaction. We
do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties, unless
you have granted us permission to do so.
Data Retention.
ARSHI will not retain your personal information longer than is necessary
for the purposes for which it was collected.
Linked web sites.
We provide links to third party sites. Since we do not
control these Web sites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies
posted on these (and all) third party sites.
Cookies.
Most ARSHI Web sites use cookies. Cookies help
us provide a better user experience by measuring which Web site areas
are of greatest interest. ARSHI also uses cookies when you register for
one of our Web programs. In this situation, a cookie will store useful
information that enables our Web site to remember you when you return.
ARSHI can only read cookies from ARSHI's Web sites.
If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you
can still access most of our Web sites. Some Web sites will not allow
you to complete certain activities if cookies are disabled. For example,
our consumer e-commerce site uses session cookies and persistent cookies
to process transactions. If you do not accept cookies, the associated
shopping bag will not work and you would not be able to order.
We may display advertisements from third parties. Third
party ad-serving companies control which ads are shown. These ad-serving
companies may use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information
from you. Advertisers use this information to target the ads and measure
their impact.
Accessing and updating information.
We need your help in making sure your personal information
is correct in our systems. Please notify us of changes to your name, address,
title, phone number or email address. Most of our sites allow you to make
these updates yourself via the program's member profile pages.

Each email newsletter has instructions on how to unsubscribe.
