What Information Do We Collect?
Personal Information: If you register to use the Service (for either the free or a paid version), we ask you for certain personal information (the “Personal Information”), including information such as your username, email address, and organization name. If you sign up for our newsletter, we ask for your e-mail address. If you contact Arnica through the Site, including to apply for career opportunities, we ask for your first and last name and e-mail address. If you disclose additional personal information to us, we may store that Personal Information.
Web Tracking Information: We, and third party service providers that we engage to provide services to us (“Contractors”), may use web tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and clear GIFs in order to operate the Service efficiently and to collect data related to usage of the Service. Such collected data (“Web Tracking Information”) may include the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited the Arnica Site, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Service you visit and what links you clicked on, and whether you opened email communications we send to you. In order to collect Web Tracking Information and to make your use of the Service more efficient, we may store cookies on your computer. We may also use web tracking technologies that are placed in web pages on the Service or in email communications to collect information about actions that users take when they interact with the Service or such email communications, and our Contractors may also do so. We do not correlate Web Tracking Information to individual user Personal Information. Some Web Tracking Information may include data, such as IP address data, that is unique to you. You may be able to modify your browser settings to alter which web tracking technologies are permitted when you use the Service, but this may affect the performance of the Service.

We may also use Personal Information for the internal operational and administrative purposes of the Service. We may enter Personal Information into our contact management database, and may use such database to send you marketing materials and to contact you regarding your interest in Arnica products and services.
Aggregate Information: We will also create statistical, aggregated data relating to our users and the Service for analytical purposes. Aggregated data is derived from Personal Information but in its aggregated form it does not relate to or identify any individual. This data is used to understand our customer base and to develop, improve and market our services.
Web Tracking Information: We use Web Tracking Information to administer the Service and to understand how well our Service is working, to store your user preferences, and to develop statistical information on usage of the Service. This allows us to determine which features visitors and users like best to help us improve our Service, to personalize your user experience, and to measure overall effectiveness.
Legal Exception: Notwithstanding the above, Arnica may use Personal Information to the extent required by law or legal process, or if in Arnica’s reasonable discretion use is necessary to investigate fraud or any threat to the safety of any individual, to protect Arnica’s legal rights or to protect the rights of third parties.
What Information Do We Disclose to Third Parties?
Arnica’s Disclosure of Personal Information: Arnica will not disclose Personal Information to any third party except as described in this section.
We may disclose Personal Information to our Contractors who are bound by written obligations of confidentiality.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Notice
On September 27, 2013, California enacted A.B. 370, amending the California Online Privacy Protection Act to require website operators like us to disclose how we respond to "Do Not Track Signals"; and whether third parties collect personally identifiable information about users when they visit us.
(1) We do not track users who do not interact with our sharing functionality across the web, and therefore do not use "do not track" signals.
(2) We do not authorize the collection of personally identifiable information from our users for third party use through advertising technologies without separate member consent.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 also permits our users who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@arnica.io. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per user each year.
Children: Arnica does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of the Service is directed at persons under 18. If you are under 18 years of age, then please do not use the Service. If Arnica learns that personal information of persons less than 13 years of age has been collected without verifiable parental consent, then Arnica will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. To make such a request, please contact us at privacy@arnica.io.
