At Arxman, we understand that privacy is important, and we've created this policy to give you information about how we collect and use personal information. Our policy is divided into three main sections: Section 1 describes how we collect and use data from users of the Arxman Web site. Section 2 describes how we collect and use data from subscribers to the internet editions of Arxman magazine.

Please note that this privacy policy may change from time to time. We will post the new policy on this page, and, if the changes allow us to use personally identifying information in ways that are different from the ways specified at the time the information was originally collected, our Web site will contain a special notice about the changes. Each version of this privacy policy will be identified by its effective date, which you can find at the bottom of the page.

1. Arxman Online Privacy Policy

Arxman collects data, including personally identifying information, from people who use the Arxman Web site. This section of our privacy policy explains how we collect and use this data. Please note that Arxman subscriber data is maintained separately from data gathered from our online users. This means that users of the Arxman Web site who also subscribe to Arxman magazine, in either print or electronic form, should read both this section and Section 2 (Arxman Subscriber Privacy Policy) in order to have a full understanding of our privacy practices.

Information we collect and how we use it

When you visit the Arxman Web site, Arxman collects several forms of usage data, including:

• Log data. Our servers automatically record certain information sent by your browser, such as your Web request, your Internet Protocol address, your referring URL, your browser type and language, and the date and time of your request.
  
  
• Cookie data. When you visit the Arxman Web site or third-party partners may send one or more "cookies"—small files containing a string of characters—to your computer to identify you as a unique user. If you have registered with Arxman, the information in your cookie is used to provide a more personalized experience on our site, for example by allowing you to customize portions of the site. If you haven't registered, the cookie identifies you as a unique user and helps ensure a smoother experience on the site, such as by limiting the number of times that you see certain subscription offers. If you have not registered on our site, we cannot link the user ID in the cookie with personal identifying information and data about you, such as your name or e-mail address.
  
  
• Traffic and advertising data. Other cookies without personally identifying information and data are used to enable Arxman to gather and analyze site traffic and usage information, and to allow our advertising partners to manage the advertisements presented. These cookies sometimes work in conjunction with other techniques, such as clear GIFs or pixel tags; they do not contain personally identifying information, but they may gather information about what sites you have visited and use that information to determine which ads appear when you visit the Arxman site.

Browsers or third-party software can allow you to block the use of cookies while you surf our site. Or you can use third-party anonymizer services to mask information in your cookies or even general data such as your IP address. In such cases you would not be able to take advantage of most of the personalization services offered on the Arxman Web site.

The aggregated information we collect is used for a number of purposes including the following:

1. To improve the content and design of the Arxman Web site.
   
   
2. To enable our audit bureau to verify our claims of traffic to the site.
   
   
3. To help advertisers, potential advertisers or marketers assess the suitability of the site for their ad campaigns.
   
   
4. To help us understand more about the interests of our users, so that we can offer goods and services we believe may be of interest.

Many portions of the Arxman site can be used without registering or giving us any personal information such as (but not limited to) your name and e-mail address. However, Arxman does collect personally identifying information regarding our online users, including in the following ways:

• When you provide it to us, such as (but not limited to) by entering a contest, becoming a registered member, signing up for a newsletter or tutorial, or otherwise contacting us.

• When you provide information about yourself or your company to Arxman in connection with a subscription order that information may be included in your Arxman user record, if one exists.
  
  
• If you have provided information to Arxman, from time to time we may enhance that information with other information that we collect from third-party sources.

The personal information we collect may be used in a number of ways, including the following:
