By using this website, you consent to this Privacy Policy.

What Information do we collect, and what do we do with it?

Website

We use cookies to remember you. You can turn off most cookies and learn more at our Cookie Policy page. We use customer relationship management software that helps us document your consents, preferences, and contact information; we use this information to contact you, respond to your requests, and keep records of how we resolved any concerns. We use website analytics tools that provide us with anonymized website traffic and click information. We use this information to improve our website’s visual aesthetics, make information easier to find, and generally provide you with a great experience that gets even better over time when you visit our website.

Contact and Customer Service Information

When you provide contact information or billing information to submit a request or open an account or make a payment, we will collect and use that information to respond to you or conduct the requested transaction. In many cases, we will also make a record of what we did. For example, if you submit a help desk request, and we respond to that request, we’ll also keep a copy of that conversation in case you need help again, and we need to remember where we left off.

General Feedback, Surveys, and Reaching Out to Us

You’re not going to believe this, but if you submit feedback, we’re going to read it! So, whatever you write to us might get shared in our office as we respond and help you as best as we can. Please also note that any suggestions or feedback sent to us will not be treated as your intellectual property.

Automated Collection

If you swing by our website on the way to any of our other products, that website does use cookies. As a reminder, those cookies are there to make sure the website works, not sell you anything.

On the website and within the app, we do collect anonymous information about how people are working with and exploring the website or app, and information about how people are accessing our products (for example, your mobile device type). We use that information to give you a nice experience using our products that get even nicer over time, identify bugs, or do things like make sure we allocate the right amount of computer resources in the right places. After all, we don’t want to be wasteful! 

Billing Information

We will collect standard billing information when fees are due. We keep records, including transaction details and related contact information, when we charge money for anything. That keeps our accountants happy.

What Else Do We Do With Your Information?

(1) We have some compliance and customer service responsibilities that will require us to record and hold information about your account, but only in the good ways that you’d expect; and (2) We collect some data that allows us to create statistics and analyze how well our products work and if we can make them better. 

Overall, we generally make sure that we treat your personal data respectfully and securely, no matter who you are or where you live.

Third Parties

We work with some third parties. For example, we work with third parties to store information in databases or process payments. Although we are not responsible for third party product or service issues, we value your feedback regarding your use of these third parties and their terms.

Cookies

With regard to cookies that are placed by our Site in your browser, please see the https://arcatar.com website Cookie Policy.

Data Rights

Everyone has rights to their data. It is yours, after all. So whether you live in a place like California or the EU that has put many of these rights into a law, or you live at sea and are governed only by the sun and waves, we respect your data rights, and you can submit data-related requests to privacy@arcatar.com. Californians may continue reading below for a formal notice to California residents.

Kids

People under 18 should not use our website unless a parent or guardian approved it. If you are that parent or guardian, please use extra care to help the younger ones use our Site and Services responsibly.

Data Transfers

Our databases are located in the USA, so if you are located outside the USA, data will be transferred to our servers in the USA. Generally regarding data transfers, we seek to follow best practices regarding all cross-border data transfers utilizing adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, and encryption and security practices as our guideposts for safely and securely handling and transferring data. If you have a specific question about your data, its residency, or transfers, please contact privacy@arcatar.com. 

Changes and Updates

If you want to change or update your settings, including withdrawal of consent for something, check out your account settings or contact Customer Service. If we want to change something, be it this policy or something about how our Site or Services or products work, we can do so. When changes are made, you will be notified as long as we have your contact information. Otherwise, it is up to you to come back from time to time for updates.
