Privacy Statement

We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information. To learn more, please read this Privacy Policy. 

Up Front: All Customer information is keep private and is NEVER released to third parties. 

Information Collection 
We collect information from you in several different ways on this Site. One goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide an efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. For example, we can use your personal information to: - help make this Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once. - help you quickly find information, products, and services. - help us create content on this Site that is most relevant to you. - alert you to new information, products, and services that we offer. 

Information Use and Disclosure Internal Use 
We use your personal information to process your order and provide you with customer service. We may internally use your personal information to improve our Site's content and layout, to improve our outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our services and products to you), and to determine general marketplace information about visitors to this Site. 

External Use of Information
We want to provide you with excellent service and to offer you a great selection - we primarily sell original artwork and merchandise, not information. We do not sell, rent, trade, license or otherwise disclose your specific personal information or financial information to anyone. Similarly, to help you buy products and provide customer service to you, we must provide your credit card number to financial-services corporations such as credit-card processors and issuers. When we submit your credit card number for authorization, we use state-of-the-art data encryption to protect your information. (More on this below in Data Security.) 

We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily visitors to a particular web page, or the size of an order placed on a certain date) with third parties such as advertising partners. This information does not directly personally identify you or any user. 

Data Security 
This Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") for all financial transactions through this Site. We use SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to your personal information. 

Finally, we rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware. We believe that their security procedures are adequate. For example, when you visit our Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall. While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline. 

Offline Collection, Use & Disclosure of Information 
As you might expect from giftsandfineart.com, the majority of information that we collect is obtained through our site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection of personal information. We also collect information offline, where we also try to protect the privacy of you personal information. 

One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions. When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal information we need in order to place the order or to answer the question. When we need to store information (such as order information), we will enter it into our database through SSL encryption. (See the Data Security section above for more information). There are other ways we could learn of personal information offline (for example, we suppose someone could send us a letter including some return address information), and this Policy doesn't discuss or try to predict all of those methods or uses. 

As we mentioned, we primarily sell original artwork and merchandise, not information, and we will try to treat offline collection, uses, and disclosures consistently with our relevant online practices. 

Opt Out Policy 
Upon your request, we will (a) correct or update your personal information; (b) stop sending emails to your email address; and/or (c) disable your account to prevent any future purchases through that account. Update to this Policy If we change or update this Privacy Policy, we will post changes and updates on this Site so that you will always be aware of what information we collect, use and disclose. 

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time so you will know if the Privacy Policy has been changed or updated.
