This privacy statement covers the site WoodArtistsGallery.com.
Because this Web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to our users’
privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices.
Information Collection
Wood Artists Gallery is the sole owner of the information collected
on WoodArtistsGallery.com. Wood Artists Gallery collects information from
our users at several different points on our Web site.
Orders
We request information from the user on our order form. A user must
provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address)
and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used
to contact the user.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies to create a
profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on
individual users that details their viewing preferences. Consequently,
collected information is tied to the users personally identifiable
information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the
user. We do not share your profile with other third parties.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to
information about the user. We use session ID cookies. For the session
ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
By setting a cookie on our site, users
would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time
while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our
site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to access the
“Project Folder”.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This
includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and
number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information. IP addresses are tied to personally
identifiable information to enable our Web-based service.
Service
Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service
related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily
suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users
may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their
account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need
to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current
judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web
site.
Third
Party Intermediaries
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These
companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
we, Wood Artists Gallery, are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’
information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site,
their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks
users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to
protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees
must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When
they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to user
information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store
personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.
If users have any questions about the
security at our Web site, users can send an email to info@FunctionalArtGallery.com.
Correcting/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes
(such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we provide a way to correct, or update personally
identifiable information. This can usually be done at the Members Login
page or by emailing our Customer Support at
info@FunctionalArtGallery.com.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem
appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’
personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have
a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the
site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be
contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new
manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy
practices that do not affect user information already stored in our
database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users
of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email
users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of
the changes in our privacy practices.
