We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some ARN features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.

Information Sharing
ARN only shares personal information with the list of affiliated paranormal organizations, researchers, and investigators listed on the side of our website, http://www.anomalyresponse.com, for scientific research and investigative purposes. These groups have been deemed trustworthy by representatives of ARN and are responsible for protecting your personal information in much the same way that ARN is.

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to ARN administrators and agents who need to know that information in order to investigate a case or operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including loss of membership privileges and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
