Aricent, as a leader in the communications market, has long recognized the importance of privacy in conducting business with both organizations and individuals.

However, collecting personal information is often necessary and desirable when performing global business in our increasingly connected and electronic economy. We are committed to respecting your privacy and understand the need for protecting any personally identifiable information you share with us.

How do we gather information?
Information on Aricent.com is gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology) and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of this website).

In general, you can visit our website without divulging any personal information. However, there are areas of this website that require personal information to successfully complete their customization functions, and may not be available to visitors who prefer not to reveal the solicited information.

What information do we gather?
In some circumstances, Aricent may request personal information from you, such as your name, email address, the name of the organization you represent, or your telephone number. Your response to these queries is purely voluntary.

Aricent also collects domain information as part of our analysis of the use of our website. We use this information to improve our website and align it to your needs. This information is collected automatically and requires no action on the part of the visitors.

Any information you send to us is provided purely on a voluntary basis. However, please note you should not send sensitive or confidential information to us through this website (or the email addresses listed on this website). We do not accept confidential information or consent to any duties of confidentiality without our prior written agreement.

How do we use the information?
Aricent analyzes the information gathered to determine what is most effective on our website, to help us identify ways to improve it, and ultimately, to determine how we can tailor Aricent.com to make it even more effective. We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect the information.

Will we share information with outside parties?
As a global company, data we collect may be transferred internationally within Aricent's worldwide organization. We will not sell or rent your information to third parties. In cases where Aricent believes your business interests will be well served, we may share your contact information with our local business partners, who can alert you to new products and services to improve your competitive edge. If you receive unwanted marketing materials from any of our business partners, let us know and please inform us if you wish to be removed from our list of contacts.

Do we use cookies?
Some pages on this website use "cookies". Cookies are small files of information that save and retrieve information about your visit to Aricent.com-for example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.)

What else?
That's all. Bottom line, we are interested in maintaining your privacy and simultaneously creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions concerning privacy now or during your visit, please contact us.

Please note that Aricent reserves the right to change, modify or update this statement at any time without notice.
