INTRODUCTION; SCOPE

AR Innovations Intl. LLC (“AR,” “us,” or “we”) has created this Privacy Statement to inform you about how we collect, use and disclose information.

This Privacy Statement applies to information collected through this website and any mobile sites, applications, widgets, and other interactive features that link to this Privacy Statement (the “Site”). Except as specifically provided below, this Privacy Statement does not apply to information collected by AR by or through any other means, such as information collected offline.

AR grants independent contractors selling rights to its products (hereinafter referred to as Independent Affiliates and/or Sales Representatives or AR Representatives). AR Independent Sales Representatives are not employed by AR. Therefore, AR does not control, and is not responsible or liable for the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information by AR Independent Sales Representatives, including for their marketing purposes. If you provide information to an AR Independent Sales Representative through the Site, AR will have access to it and shall treat it in accordance with this Privacy Statement. Independent Sales Representatives may provide AR with information regarding their customers, in which case AR will treat such information, once in its possession, in accordance with this Statement.

If you are the customer of an AR Independent Sales Representative, you should check with your Representative directly to learn about her data privacy practices.

If you apply to become or are an Independent Sales Representative, in addition to the generally applicable provisions of this Privacy Statement, please review the AR Independent Sales Representative section at the bottom of this Privacy Statement to see important information about additional privacy practices that apply to you.

If you opt in to participate in such an offer, we may disclose your Personal Information to such third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We recommend that you consult such third parties’ privacy policies in advance if you wish to participate in these offers.

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

Collection of Non-Personal Information. “Non-Personal Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identity, such as:

Browser information
Information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies
Demographic information and other information provided by you or our Independent Sales Representatives
Aggregated information

We and our third-party service providers may collect Non-Personal Information in a variety of ways. For example:

collect information such as your computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system version and Internet browser type and version.
collect demographic information, such as your location, education, profession, age, gender, as well as other information, such as your hobbies and special interests when you voluntarily provide this information to us. Unless combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify you or anyone else.

Aggregating information. We may aggregate Personal Information so that the aggregated information does not personally identify you or anyone else, such as by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our customers who live in a particular area. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical location). If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

Use and Sharing of Non-Personal Information. Because Non-Personal Information does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose.

Site Analytics: AR may work with third-party service providers who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Site.
