WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect information through three (3) primary means: 1) when you visit our Site, 2) when you engage Arjuna to provide Services to you, and 3) when we perform those Services for you. This information includes certain personally identifiable information (“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”), which is information that is specific to an individual, such as, but not limited to, name, e-mail address, user identification data, registration and customer account information, and other similar non-public information. This information also includes “Anonymous Information,” which is information that is not associated with or linked to any Personally Identifiable Information and does not permit the identification of an individual, such as you or any other individual person. You may provide us with PII, whether relating to you or your customers. We may also gather PII about your customers or third parties.
Subject to any other term, condition or provision in a Master Service Agreement or other contract between you and Arjuna, additional information covered under this Privacy Policy also includes PII as to your clients, customers, sales prospects and other individuals (collectively, all such third parties, “Your Customers”) that you specifically disclose to Arjuna for purposes of utilizing our Services (collectively, all such PII disclosed by you to us concerning the Your Customers, “Your Customer PII”). Lastly, information covered under this Policy also includes additional PII concerning Your Customers (and potential customers) that is obtained and compiled by us as a result of providing Services to you (collectively, all such additional PII regarding Your Customers obtained and compiled by us as a result of providing Services to you, the “Customer Research”), through the use of third party websites, applications or otherwise. While we assert that Customer Research remains the property of Arjuna, such information is protected under this Privacy Policy. We do not collect Your payment information on this Site.
We retain all information which You provide to Us for the provision of services, even after the completion of an engagement, unless you request otherwise. You may request that we destroy information which You provided during the course of an engagement by contacting us in writing at the address which appears at the end of this policy requesting that we destroy the information which you provided. We ask that you make this request within 30 days of the completion of your engagement.

We collect information from you when you register on our Site. When registering on our Site, you will be asked to provide PII. This allows us to create a user or customer account and communicate with you and it also provides a means for you to login and access your account with us.
We may also collect certain Anonymous Information when you visit our site, such as your IP Address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer or device when connected to the Internet), the type of browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc.), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows, Mac, Android), the domain name of your Internet or data service provider (e.g., Time-Warner, Verizon, etc.), the date and time you access our website, the pages you visit while on our website, and if you visited from another website, the address of the other website.
By accessing or otherwise using the Site, you expressly agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of your PII and Anonymous Information according to this Privacy Policy.
Your PII may be processed and stored in other countries (including the United States) where laws regarding the processing and storage of PII may be less (or more) stringent than the laws in your country. Your PII will not, however, be used or disclosed for purposes for which you have not given consent or which are not permitted under applicable law.
HOW DO WE SECURE INFORMATION WHICH WE GATHER AND STORE?
The protection and security of your PII and that of your customers is important to us. We know that it is important to you as well. We provide reasonable technical, administrative and physical security to protect PII from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. We rely upon the services of third parties who are themselves industry leaders in maintaining security and confidentiality of your PII. Despite our best efforts, and those of industry leaders with whom we contract, no security is absolute and no one can insure or warrant the total protection and security of your PII. Your PII is stored on servers and in data files of companies that we hire to provide such services to us.

WHAT IS ANONYMOUS INFORMATION COLLECTED AT THE SITE USED FOR? DO YOU USE “COOKIES”?
We do use “cookies” for purposes of collecting various Anonymous Information. In addition, we are able to determine additional Anonymous Information through Internet industry standard means.
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow it). Cookies enable the sites’ or service providers’ systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other Personally Identifiable Information unless you choose to provide that information to us. However, once you choose to furnish us with PII – such as by registering with the Site – this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. We may also use technology to detect the version and settings of your web browser and optimize the size, formatting and appearance of this website to that specific web browser’s functionality.
We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
DOES THE SITE CONTAIN LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES OR ADVERTISING?
At our discretion, we may provide you with access to third party products or services on our Site. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Arjuna through the Site and does not apply to any third party website. You may wish to consult the privacy policies of those other sites.
We also utilize applications of third parties. Likewise we do not control the operation of these applications and have no responsibility for the manner in which these applications perform.
DO WE DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?
Site-Collected Personally Identifiable Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website and conducting our business (e.g., trusted third parties for processing payments for Services, etc.) so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety. However, Anonymous Information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Customer PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
Your Client PII or Customer PII belongs to you. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Customer PII. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in conducting our business to provide the contracted Services to you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. However, any Customer Research, which necessarily will include PII belongs to Arjuna. Notwithstanding our position as to ownership, we protect all PII under this Privacy Policy. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety. Specifically, we may be compelled by judicial process, warrant or subpoena to produce PII. In such cases, we will provide you with notice as soon as possible, depending on the circumstances giving rise to the disclosure.
Customer Research
Unless otherwise provide in a Master Services Agreement or other legally binding contract between you and Arjuna, all Customer Research created, developed, researched, compiled or otherwise obtained by us while performing Services for you shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Arjuna.

We may disclose such Customer Research to third parties at our discretion. We may gather such Customer Research using third party websites, applications or social networks.
WHAT HAPPENS TO INFORMATION IN THE EVENT OF A COMPANY SALE?
If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Arjuna business were to change, such as, for example, through a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, etc., your Personally Identifiable Information may be among the assets transferred to the new owner. In any such transfer of information, your Personally Identifiable Information would remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy in effect at that time.
