Aravon ("Aravon",
"we" or "us") is respectful of the privacy concerns
of the visitors to its web site. Aravon also recognizes the valuable
potential of technology to help people communicate with the companies
whose web sites they visit, particularly through customer databases.
Responsible use of the information you share with Aravon is paramount.
In order to help you understand the role technology plays in the
collection and use of information you provide to Aravon, Aravon
has created the following privacy policy and guidelines. By using
this web site you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with any terms or practices described in this
Privacy Policy, please do not use the Aravon web site.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
In general, you can visit the Aravon web site and view its content
while remaining anonymous by not providing any personal information.
In some cases, when you visit the Aravon web site, Aravon may, through
the use of "cookies" (which are described in greater detail
below), automatically collect information about you that is not
personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include
the type of internet browser you are using, the type of computer
operating system you are using, the domain name of your internet
service provider and/or the web site from which you linked to Aravon's
web site or advertisement.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Aravon will not collect any personally identifiable information
about you (such as your name, address, telephone number or email
address) unless you provide it to us voluntarily (for example, if
you complete an on-line registration form). Aravon's purpose for
gathering such information is to enhance your online experience
by understanding you better and also to make you aware of new products
or offers in which you may be interested. For example, Aravon may
use such information to send you directed email with news and information
on new content and features of the Aravon web site and new products
and services offered by Aravon and its partners. Use of any of the
services on the Aravon web site is entirely voluntary; however,
if you do not provide the personal information requested by us,
then we may elect not to make the related services available for
your use. If you have registered with Aravon and do not want Aravon
or its partners to contact you in the future, please see Opt-Out
below.
When you do provide us with personally identifiable information,
we will take appropriate steps to protect the information you share
with us. In this regard, our policy is that we do not give, sell
or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to
anyone outside the Aravon organization or selected Aravon partners
unless we first disclose to you at the time of collection that your
personal information may be provided to third parties. However,
there are certain limited instances where we may disclose or transfer
personally identifiable information. For example, we may provide
such information to appropriate authorities if we believe in good
faith that the law requires it or to protect the legal rights or
property of Aravon. Additionally, as we continue to develop our
business, we may buy or sell business assets. In such transactions,
customer information is generally one of the transferred business
assets. However, we are not in the business of selling customer
information to others, and aside from certain exceptional circumstances,
we will take appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the
information you provide to us.

When you view one of our web sites or advertisements, we may store
some information on your computer. This information will be in the

hard drive through your internet browser. Cookies enable our system
to recognize your browser and to tailor our web site or advertisement
to better match your interests and preferences. They also make shopping
