Privacy Policy

Armsnet respects the privacy of its online visitors and users of its services. Armsnet recognizes the importance of protecting any information collected from users and has adopted this privacy policy that guides how Armsnet gathers, stores, and uses information from the use of Armsnet services and online sites by users.

This policy is current as of its last revision date. However, please note that this policy may be amended from time to time to reflect changes and additions to the privacy policy. Please check back for the most current version before relying on any of the provisions in this privacy policy.

Collection and Use of Information
By using Armsnet's online site and services, users agree that Armsnet may collect aggregate information, individual information, and personally identifiable information, as defined below. Armsnet may share aggregate information and individual information with other parties. Armsnet shall not share personally identifiable information with other parties, except as described in the policy below.

"Aggregate information" is information that describes the habits, usage patterns, and demographics of users as a group but does not describe or reveal the identity of any particular user.

"Individual information" is information about a user that is presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user unless agreed to by the user in advance of such communication. This information may be used to improve Armenet's services and online sites, for internal marketing studies, or simply to collect demographic information about Armsnet's users.

Armsnet may use customer contact information provided by users to send information about Armsnet, including news about product updates, contests, events, and other promotional materials, but only if the users agree to receive such communications. Except in the cases described below, Armsnet will not share personally identifiable information with any third party unless the user agrees to such disclosure in advance. "Personally identifiable information" consists of a user's name, email address, physical address, or other data about the user that enables the recipient to personally identify the user. While Armsnet collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis, for certain services and online sites, Armsnet's collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for access to the product or site. Personally identifiable information will be processed and stored by Armsnet in databases situated in the United States. Armsnet may allow third parties performing services under contract with Armsnet to access stored information but such access shall only be to the extent necessary to provide those services. In those instances, the third party will be bound by the terms of this privacy policy. In some situations, personally identifiable information you input in connection with auctions may be made available to other users of the auction. For example, during registration of Steam, Valve collects a user's email address and nickname, and at the user's option, first and last name. Some of this information is searchable and available to other users within Steam. Valve has no obligation to keep the privacy of personally identifiable information that a user makes available to other users via Steam or other Valve software, such as in multiplayer or other public functions.

Personally identifiable information protected under this privacy policy and collected from users may be done in conjunction with associates under agreement with Valve. If an associate of Valve is collecting such personally identifiable information within one of our products or online sites, Valve will make users aware of this at the time the information is gathered. For example, product registration data for Half-Life is collected by Sierra Entertainment. If a user does not want to provide this information, the user may choose to opt out of providing this information. Additionally, if providing the information is a requirement of usage, the user may decline to use that particular service or product. When possible, Valve will make a reasonable effort to direct users to the privacy polices of these associates. Valve's privacy policy does not extend to associates of Valve.

Furthermore, external websites and companies with links to and from Valve's online sites and products may collect personal information about users. Valve's privacy policy does not extend to these external websites and companies. Please refer directly to these companies and websites regarding their privacy policies.

Valve may release personally identifiable information to comply with court orders or laws that require us to disclose such information

We respect the privacy of information about you and your Account.  We limit access to personal information about you to those employees and agents who need to know the information to provide products and services to you.  We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to protect personal information. 

From time to time, we enter into agreements with other companies to provide services to us or make products and services available to you.  Under these agreements, the companies may receive information about you but they must safeguard this information and they may not use it for any other purposes.  We may also share personal information about you with companies or organizations outside of Armsnet as required by or permitted by law.  For example, we may share personal information to protect against fraud, respond to a subpoena or service your account.  We may release information in connection with the maintenance of your Account; for example if you are in default, we may release information about your Account to third parties who may assist us in enforcing our rights.  For your protection, we require that these companies keep all personal information secure and confidential.
