If you use this site, you explicitly agree to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of your use.

Browsing Our Website
This website does not collect personally identifiable information from your computer when you browse this website and request pages from our servers. This means that unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide us with personally identifiable information, we will not know your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information. The company’s servers automatically record non-personally identifiable information when you visit our website or use some of our offerings. When you make a request from a page from our website, our servers log the information provided in the HTTP request header, including the IP number, the date and time of the request, the URL of your request, the language used, the browser type and any other information that is provided in the HTTP header. We collect the HTTP request header information to make our website function correctly and provide you with the functionality you see on this website. We also use this information to better understand how visitors use our website and how we can better tune its contents and functionality to meet your needs.
Information Collected
When we need to collect personally identifiable information from you to execute the requested transaction or provide you with a particular service, we will ask you to supply us with the information we need voluntarily. We will ask you for information such as, but not limited to, name, address, telephone number, email address, and demographic information to process your submission. In addition, when you provide contact details for transaction requests such as scheduling an appointment or requesting information or services, we will use the contact information to keep you updated about future updates or information unless you opt-out online or otherwise notify us. This information may be collected from, but not limited to, the following sources:
• Our communications with you, including information obtained when you register for a Company service or otherwise volunteer information
• Your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others;
• Outside companies, such as insurance or benefits verification services, to evaluate your coverages. Aside from the ways mentioned above, we sometimes use your personally identifiable information in other ways, including sending you promotional materials and sharing your information with third parties so that these third parties can send you promotional materials.
(By “promotional materials,” we mean communications that directly promote using Websites for inquiries, information, or purchasing products or services.). However, you may “opt out” of certain uses of your personal information. How Company Uses Personally Identifiable Information: We may disclose a consumer’s personally identifiable information in order to effect or carry out any transaction that you have requested of us or as necessary to complete our contractual obligations with you. The personal information collected on this site and by third parties will be used to operate the site, provide the services or products, or carry out the transactions you have requested or authorized. We Reserve The Right To Share, Sell, Rent, Or Otherwise Transfer/Disclose Your Personal Information To Third Parties For Any Purpose In Our Sole Discretion In Accordance With Applicable Laws. We prohibit the sale or transfer of personal information to non-affiliated entities for their use without allowing you to opt out. We may share your personally identifiable information with affiliated companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by or under the common control of Company. We may send personally identifiable information about you to non-affiliated companies that are not directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control of, the Company. We may use this personally identifiable information for auditing, research, and analysis to operate and improve Company’s technologies and services. We may change or broaden the use of your personal information at any time. We may use your personal information to provide customized content and promotional offers to individuals by means of email advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, banner advertising, texting, and other possible uses. Company may also share aggregated information that does not identify you, the consumer, with outside companies.
“Aggregated Information” refers to information the Company gathers by aggregating non-personally identifiable information to provide summaries of website use. The aggregated information is used to show usage patterns and to do such things as negotiate with vendors of internet services. Such Information is not linked to the consumer’s personal information.
Your Choices/Opt-out
We offer you choices when we ask for personal information whenever reasonably possible. We allow you to ‘opt out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information. For example, suppose you purchase or acquire a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us. In that case, you can indicate your preference by emailing us at info@artikmed.com. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may not function properly as a result. Suppose you no longer wish to receive our communications. In that case, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions in each communication or by emailing or calling us per the information on our contact page. By providing information to Company, you consent to collecting, using, and disclosing such personal information as described in this privacy policy. We allow you to withdraw your consent when such information is collected or later by following the procedure described in this Choice/Opt-Out provision. Such consent may be withdrawn by calling 888-433-9796 or by email sent to our customer service department at info@artikmed.com
Service Providers
We require the use of outside companies and other third parties to provide certain services, including but not limited to clerical and information processing and shipping services. When you sign up for our services, we will share as much information as necessary to provide those services. We require that all third parties hired by Company comply with our Privacy Policy in order to keep your information safe and secure. These third parties are prohibited from using or sharing your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than the job they were hired or contracted to do or in compliance with their own privacy requirements once you become a customer of theirs.
Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information
The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. We employ generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us during transmission and after receiving it. We maintain physical safeguards, such as secure areas in buildings; electronic safeguards, such as passwords and encryption; and procedural safeguards, such as customer authentication procedures, to prevent ID theft. The company processes personal information on servers in the United States and in other countries. Access to information about you is restricted to authorized employees obtaining the information for business purposes. Our site uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security technology to encrypt information you provide to us through the site when entering sensitive information on our registration or forms. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. SSL is an industry-standard protocol for encryption over the internet. After information reaches Company, it is stored on a secure server that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of the Company. You can help maintain your online transactions’ security by not sharing your personal information or passwords with anyone. Remember, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage method is 100% secure. (Example: any information you provide us by email is not encrypted.) Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about the security on our Website, please feel free to e-mail us.
Log Files
Like most Websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements around the site, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Cookies
We use cookies and other technologies on this site to enhance your online experience and learn about how you use our services to improve the quality of our services. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. We use session ID cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of our cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers or third parties.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs) that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customer’s personally identifiable information. We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you want to opt out of these emails, please see “Choice and Opt-out.”
Third-Party Advertisers
Ads that have brought you to this Website are delivered to users by us and our advertising partners. We share Website usage information about users with reputable third parties for the purpose of targeting our digital advertisements on this site. The information collected and shared through this technology is not personally identifiable.
Co-branded sites
We may be co-branded with “partners and affiliates” or part of a corporate group. We may share information about customers and former customers with these co-branded / corporate group companies. These business-to-business relationships are helpful to us and to you, as they afford all concerned with greater product and service opportunities. We always provide opt-out opportunities for sharing your information with such partners and affiliates. Please note any site linked to our site is governed by its own privacy policies, which may or may not reach the standards set by Company.
Access to Personally Identifiable Information
We will make good faith efforts to provide you access to your personal information upon request.

Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information, as required, to comply with the law, applicable regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests, judicial proceedings, court orders or subpoenas, to enforce our Legal Notices or other agreements, or to protect our rights, property or safety or the rights, or to
protect the property or safety of our users or others (e.g., to a consumer reporting agency for fraud protection etc.), and to ensure the security of our network and services.
Enhancement of Information
We may purchase marketing data from third parties and add it to our existing user database to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers in which we think you would be interested. To enrich our database of individual customers, we tie this information to the personally identifiable information you provided.
Business Transitions
If Company goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred.
