Privacy Policy

WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

 

This Website Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for the www.alexandracastleart.com site (the "site").  Alexandra Castle Art LLC, the provider of the site (referred to as "us " or "we"), is committed to protecting your privacy online.  Please read the information below to learn the following regarding your use of this site.

 

You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Website Terms of Use and Conditions of Purchase (the “Terms of Use”), and by accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions.  If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this site.

 

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time.  Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Policy on the site.  You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this site and this Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications.  Your continued use of the site after such modifications will constitute your acknowledgment of the modified Policy and agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Policy.

 

  1. Types of Information Collected. In order to better provide you with our services, we collect two types of information about our users:  Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.  Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.

 

  1. Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are.  When you engage in certain activities on this site, sending us feedback, submitting a question, registering to receive our newsletter, or purchasing artwork or other items on the site, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form.  It is completely optional for you to elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address, billing address, email address, telephone numbers, and other personal identifying information.  Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary.  If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
  2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual.  We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our site in several ways.  This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis.  This information may include the site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address.  A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.  An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web.  Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination.  In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer.  Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.

 

  1. Collection Methods and Use of Information

 

  1. We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you send email messages, submit forms, make purchases on the site, or transmit other information by telephone or letter.  We may also collect information from you at other points on our site that state that such information is being collected.
  2. In addition, we may also collect through our third-party ad server or content server, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs.  We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information.  Our third-party ad servers will also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our site.
  3. We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services to you, as provided in the Terms of Use. We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our site, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use, improve our service offerings, and customize our site's content, layout, and services. We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding the information you provide us.  We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms of Use with you, including this Privacy Policy and any other agreements with you.

 

  1. Release of Information

 

  1. We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We use your Personally Identifiable Information to sell and promote our artwork and other items sold on the site.  For example, if you purchase artwork on the site and provide Personally Identifiable Information, we will use your Personally Identifiable Information to complete your purchase, ship your purchase, and answer any questions you may have about your purchase.
  2. Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.  We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our site for illegal activities.  We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful

 

  1. We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our website visitor’s traffic patterns and related site information to third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.

 

  1. Updating and Correcting Information

 

  1. We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided to us. You may access and correct your personal information and privacy preferences by emailing us at alexandracastleart@gmail.com. Please include your name, address, and email address when you contact us.
  2. You may ask to have the information in our records deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of customer information, you cannot delete information associated with purchases you have made on the site. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of backups.

 

  1. User Choices on Collection and Use of Information

 

  1. We may, from time to time, send you marketing communications regarding our new artwork and designs. The Company will only send you these marketing communications if you indicated that you do not object to receiving them.

  1. Cookies

 

  1. When you use our site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our site.

  2. We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner advertisements on our site. As part of their service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer.  We will not provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable Information or information about your purchases.  We and our third party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad.  Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our site in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Information to them.
