Adfusion Privacy Policy
Welcome. At ARAnet, Inc, the company that operates Adfusion.com,
we are committed to protecting the online privacy of visitors to our websites. This
Policy applies only to the information collected through Adfusion.com. The purpose
of this Policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather about you
when you visit our websites, how we may use that information, and how we disclose
it to third parties. Your use of this website is also subject to our Terms and Conditions.
Links and Advertisers on This Site. This website contains
links to other websites, including to sites operated by advertisers that are clients
of Adfusion. We provide these links for your convenience, but we do not review,
control, or monitor the privacy practices of other sites. We are not responsible
for the performance of these sites or for your business dealings with them. Your
use of other web space is subject to the terms and conditions of those sites, including
the privacy policies of those sites. Please note that we may allow third party advertisers
to place ads on our pages. Those ads may include cookies. Our advertisers' use of
cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this Policy.
Personal Information. Adfusion is not designed to collect
any personally identifiable information about you, either via our website or Adfusion
advertisements placed on publishing partners. Although the Adfusion website may
include a page for businesses to contact us about advertising opportunities, this
page is not intended for use by individual consumers. Providing such contact information
is purely voluntary and is not necessary to view any article on this Site. We use
contact information in order to contact a person in response to their request for
advertising information.
Non-Personal Information and Cookies. When you visit
Adfusion.com or view Adfusion advertisements on third-party websites, we collect
certain non-personal information from your computer. This information is collected
from your computer’s web browser and may include information such as the following
(“non-personal information”):
- the type of web browser software you use (for example, Internet
Explorer)
- the name of the IP Address and/or domain from which you access
the Internet (for example, Yahoo.com)
- the date and time you access our websites, as well as which pages
were viewed
Adfusion retains certain information, such as IP addresses, for a short period to
aid in the targeting of ads by location and for fraud detection and prevention.
We and/or our advertisers or vendors may also place a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer when you visit. Cookies do not expose personal
information. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits,
but some parts of our websites may not work properly for you if you do so.
Adfusion uses the information collected for marketing and sales efforts, and to
better target advertisements to people across the different websites they visit.
We will use non-personal information to help us make our websites more useful to
visitors and for other business purposes. We may use information from cookies to
deliver content that you may find more interesting based upon the articles you have
viewed in the past. We may prepare reports and other materials using non-personal
information. We may share and use non-personal information without restriction because
it does not identify who you are.
Adfusion seeks to offer consumers meaningful privacy choices whenever possible.
We believe that providing targeted and relevant content and advertising to Internet
users enhances the web-surfing experience. You can opt out of the use of your non-personal
information for targeting purposes. By opting out, Adfusion will set an “opt-out
cookie” on your computer, which will prevent your anonymous data from being matched
to any particular machine. If you opt-out, you will continue to receive ads from
Adfusion; however, it will prevent us delivering ads tailored to your preferences
and usage and may prevent us from controlling the frequency with which you may view
particular advertisements. You may opt-out of cookies used for data collection and
targeting from Adfusion. Be advised that if you change computers or browsers, delete
your cookies, or use multiple computers or browsers, you will need to repeat this
process for each computer and each browser. In order to opt-out, follow the instructions
located on our Opt-Out page located at the following URL:

us through this website, all users, including without limitation users in the member
states of the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to the
collection, storage, forward transfer, and processing of such information in the
United States of America.
