Tl;dr – The only times I share your personal information is with third party services that help with the ordering process, for example PayPal and Squarespace. I will never sell your information, nor will I allow it to be used for advertisements by others. If you ask me to delete your personal information, I will. While you are on my website, I may track which pages you visit and whether or not you came here via a link from another website. Yes, I use cookies. No, I don't do business outside of the US.
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from artyfactgoods.com (the “Site”).
Personal Information I Collect
When you visit the Site, I automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, I collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. I refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
I collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, I may collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number. I refer to this information as “Order Information.”
When I talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, I are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
How Do I Use Your Personal Information?
I use the Order Information that I collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, I use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with me, provide you with information or advertising relating to my products or services
I use the Device Information that I collect to help me screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize my Site (for example, by generating analytics about how my customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of any marketing and advertising campaigns).
Sharing Your Personal Information
I share your Personal Information with a few third parties to help me use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, I use Squarespace to power my online store. I also use PayPal to process credit card transactions.
I may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information I receive, or to otherwise protect my rights.
Data Retention
When you place an order through the Site, I will maintain your Order Information for my records unless and until you ask me to delete this information.
Changes
I may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to my practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
