Your privacy is very important to theartsweb.com (sometimes referred
to as "we", "us", or "theartsweb.com"),
and we are committed to respecting your privacy on this site. In order
to provide our Services, we will require information (including address
and credit card information) regarding our Users. We will maintain the
confidentiality of information provided in accordance with our Privacy
Policy.
We may change this policy from time to time, and if we do we will
provide notice on this Web site regarding any changes to this policy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Use of Information
theartsweb.com may provide certain demographic information it collects
to third parties in connection with its provision of this Service. The
dissemination of this information is necessary in order to provide personalized
information and promotional offers. Except as disclosed in this Privacy
Policy, our current policy is to refrain from selling, leasing, or otherwise
transferring your personally identifiable information, however, this
policy does not apply in all cases and this policy may be changed in
the future. We describe below some of the situations in which such information
may be disclosed. theartsweb.com will never provide our promotional
affiliates with personally identifiable information which would permit
them to communicate with Users or their employees by email unless the
User "opts-in" and have not "opted-out", pursuant
to our opt-out procedure, from receiving communications. You may have
the opportunity to ask us to provide your information to these promotional
affiliates. We expect those promotional partners with whom we share
information (with consent, as provided herein) to respect the privacy
of our Users in the same manner as we do. However, we cannot ensure
that they abide by our privacy policies. theartsweb.com is the sole
owner of information collected through the Service.
The information we collect may also include information you submit
about others, including the name, e-mail address or physical address
of a gift recipient. We only use information you submit about other
people to deliver information, products, or services specifically requested
by you or to cooperate with law enforcement officials in the investigation
of alleged unlawful activities of our customers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Information That Is Personally Identifiable
Our registration format requests certain contact information from
our Users. We collect information that is personally identifiable through
the registration and purchasing process when processing your order.
When a User completes an order, the format will require personally identifiable
information for each User, including:
Contact information (examples include name, home address, email
address)
Unique identifiers (examples include credit card numbers)
Demographic information (examples include zip code, telephone area
code, age, birth date, gender, income level, etc.)
The information we have obtained through this process may be used
by theartsweb.com, as well as by providers of related services, in connection
with processing your order. We also use contact information from the
registration format to send the User information about us and when otherwise
necessary. Such information may also be used to assess your satisfaction
with and to obtain feedback regarding the Service we provide and to
tailor the visitor's experience while visiting our Web site.
We may use the contact information we collect to provide, by means
other than email, information or offers which we believe will be of
value to Users and their employees and we may share contact information
with other companies that may want to provide our Users, by means other
than email, information regarding additional products and services.
We may also use the contact information to send our Users information
or offers by email which we believe will be of value to them and we
may share email contact information with other companies that may want
to provide our Users or their employees information regarding additional
products and services. Such contact information may be shared based
upon the demographic information we collect. Users may opt-out of receiving
future communications at any time; see the section below regarding "Opt-out".
Finally, the information we collect will be maintained in a file that
we may need to review in a variety of other circumstances, such as enforcing
our Terms of Use for Users, analyzing and understanding our customers
and their needs, and for the administration and provision of our goods
and services.
As a User of the Service, you consent to the aforementioned uses of
such information and the provision of information to service providers
that facilitate the Service, all in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Aggregate Information
Subject to the other terms of our Privacy Policy, we may aggregate
(i.e. assemble on a basis that does not enable one to personally identify
you) the data that is acquired under or in connection with this site
and/or related to ordering our products and services, including, without
limitation, data about the products and services requested and purchased
by our Users. Aggregated data may be used by us to improve our Service
and for marketing purposes, and may be shared with and used by advertisers
and other third parties. We may also use such data to determine what
types of policies are best suited for our customers and what types of
policies our customers request. If we provide aggregated data to third
parties, particular personal information (including birth date, name,
title, income, home address, dependent information and any other identifying
information) will not be individually identifiable in the aggregated
data.
Notwithstanding anything in this privacy policy to the contrary, theartsweb.com
has contracted with third parties to provide tracking and analysis of
information and data collected from visitors to our website. theartsweb.com
reserves the right to provide that information and data to such third
parties for those purposes. Such information and data is provided on
