This privacy statement covers the site
ArtLightingGallery.com. Because this Web site wants to demonstrate
its commitment to our users’ privacy, it has agreed to disclose its
information practices.
Information Collection
Art Lighting Gallery is the sole owner of the information collected
on ArtLightingGallery.com. Art Lighting 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, Art Lighting 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.
