your privacy
We are committed to respecting your privacy and
recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of personally
identifiable information you share with us (the phrases "personally identifiable
information" or "personal information" mean any information by
which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.).
The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you what personally identifiable
information or personal information we may collect from you when you visit our
web sites, how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our
use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information. This policy applies
only to users accessing our web site from the United States.
Collecting Your Information
We absolutely guarantee that do not sell, resell,
or share any of your information which you provide to us unless you allow us
to do so. In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us
who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We may track
the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data
for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless
you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times (such as when you purchase
or order a product, subscribe to a service, register to receive information,
or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions, etc.) at which we
ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing
address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, birth date,
gender, occupation, personal interests, etc. We also maintain a record of your
online product purchases. Whether or not to provide such information is completely
your own choice. But if you choose not to provide the information we request,
you may be unable to purchase products, or access certain services, offers and
content on our web site.
Using Information About
You
We reiterate that we absolutely guarantee that
do not sell, resell, or share any of your information which you provide to us.
We only use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal
purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription or registration,
analyzing trends and statistics, informing you of our new products, services
and offers, and providing you with information from and about artscope magazine.
From time to time we might establish a business relationship with other persons
or entities whom we believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that
their privacy policies are consistent with ours. These are known as our Select
Partners. In such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including
personally identifiable information about you, that will enable such persons
or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest
to you.
To serve you better, we may combine information
you give us online, in our stores or through our catalogs. We may also combine
that information with publicly available information and information we receive
from or cross-reference with our Select Partners and others. We use that combined
information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, to
communicate with you about our products and events that may be of interest to
you, and for other promotional purposes.
We may contract with companies or persons to
provide certain services including credit card processing, shipping, data management,
promotional services, etc. We call them our Service Providers. We provide our
Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform these services.
We also ask our Service Providers to confirm that their privacy practices are
consistent with ours.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our web sites may contain links to web sites
operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy
policies on such linked sites may be different from our privacy policy. You
access such linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy
policy of a linked site before disclosing any personal information on such site.
Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy in
whole or in part, we will inform you by posting a notice on our web site. Those
changes will go into effect on the date posted in the notice. The new policy
will apply to all current and past users of our web site and will replace any
prior policies that are inconsistent. This policy was posted in September 2006.
