Aras Metal LTD., Privacy Policy
Effective January 1, 2024

Introduction

Aras Metal LTD. values its website visitors’ privacy. This privacy policy is effective as of January 1, 2024. It summarizes what information we might collect from a registered user or other visitor (“you”), and what we will and will not do with it.

Please note that this privacy policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that Aras Metal LTD. does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by Aras Metal LTD if you visit a website that we mention or link to, be sure to review its privacy policy before providing the site with information.

What we do with your personally identifiable information (PII)

We collect PII from you only when you voluntarily provide this information. If you elect not to do so, we may not be able to register you as a user or provide you with any products or services. “Personally, identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify you as an individual, for example:

• your name, company, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address
• your Aras Metal user ID and password (if applicable)
• credit card information (if applicable) or any account-preference information you share with us
• your computer’s domain name and IP address, indicating where your computer is located on the Internet
• session data for your login session, so that our computer can ‘talk’ to yours while you are logged in

If you do provide PII to us, either directly or through a reseller or other business partner, we will:

• not sell or rent it to a third party.
• on occasion, share information about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns, and related information, to reputable third parties who help us improve our business and services.
• use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as (for example) news about our services and products and modifications to our Terms of Service;
• take commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction;
• not use or disclose the information except:
  • as necessary to provide services or products you have ordered, such as (for example) by providing it to a carrier to deliver products you have ordered;
  • in other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;
  • as required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena or search warrant;
  • to outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;
  • to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other sale or disposition of all or a portion of Aras Metal LTD. assets. The successor organization’s use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information will continue to be subject to this privacy policy unless (i) a court orders otherwise, for example, a bankruptcy court; or (ii) the successor organization gives you notice that your personally identifiable information will be subject to the successor organization’s privacy policy, along with an opportunity for you to opt out (which may cause you not to be able to continue to use the Aras Metal LTD. website). If you submit personally identifiable information after such a transfer, that information may be subject to the successor entity’s privacy policy;
  • as necessary to enforce the Terms of Service;
  • as necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Aras Metal LTD., its users, or others; this may include (for example) exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.

Other information we collect

We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as the domain name and IP address of your computer. We may use this information, individually or in the aggregate, for technical administration of our website(s); research and development; customer and account administration; and to help us focus our marketing efforts more precisely.
