Arnett Group is a leading integrated technology solutions provider headquartered in the United States. At Arnett Group, we understand that your privacy is an important part of the trust you place in us.

This privacy policy (“Policy”) explains how Arnett Group and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (“Arnett Group,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) may collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process information collected in connection with Arnett Group services, websites, online activities, and mobile applications (collectively, “Sites”) where we post our Policy.

Information Collected

Information You Provide

We collect information you provide when you use our Sites from one or more devices associated with you, or that you provide in any other way, including over the phone or on paper. For example, we may collect your name, work title, email address, postal address, phone number, demographics, payment and order information, user ID, password, and other information you may provide on our Sites, such as when you complete a transaction, register for an account, log in to our Sites, subscribe to or request our services, participate in an event, contest or survey, or contact our customer service representatives.

Information from Other Sources

We may also obtain information about you from other sources and combine that with information we collect either on our Sites or directly from you. As examples, we may obtain demographic data from third-party data providers to better market to you, or we may purchase or lease lists from list brokers to correct or supplement information about you.

Information Automatically Collected – Cookies & Similar Tracking Technologies

When you visit our Sites, some information about your visit is automatically collected, such as your device’s operating system, application software, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, browser type and language, peripherals, user log data, Active Directory information, and the websites you visited before and after our Sites. We also collect (directly or via third parties) information about your usage and activity on our Sites, including information about your orders, purchases, and cart activity through essential and non-essential cookies, Web beacons, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”).

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive, our Site or our emails, which we use to provide and improve our Sites and your experience, such as to see which areas and features are popular, count visits to our Sites, understand usage and campaign effectiveness on our Sites and other websites you may visit, and/or tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

Personalized Ads

We will not use nor allow third parties to place Cookies on our Sites to collect information about your online activities over time and across websites, including our Sites and other websites you may  visit.

This Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, third-party Cookies, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology.

Many Web browsers are set to accept Cookies by default, and only you have the ability to manage your browser settings. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove and reject certain Cookies. To find out more about Cookies used for personalized ads in the US and Canada, including the choices you may have, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance-US, Network Advertising Initiative, Digital Advertising Alliance-Canada, European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, and/or your device settings for our mobile app.

If you delete your Cookies, use a different browser, or buy a new computer, you will need to renew your choices. Please visit the respective privacy policies and/or review the privacy settings of the social networking services you use, to make choices about online advertising on those services. While we and others give you choices described in this Policy, there are many ways Web browser signals and other similar mechanisms can indicate your choice to disable tracking, and we may not be aware of or honor every mechanism.

Although you may opt-out of receiving personalized ads from one network, you may still receive ads from other ad networks you did not opt out of or ads that are not personalized to your interests.

Do Not Track

Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not been adopted, Arnett Group does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
