Web Site Privacy Policy

 

Privacy Protection
This policy establishes how we handle the information we learn about you when you visit our site. Protecting the privacy and personal data of our visitors is of utmost importance to us. Protecting your privacy and your personal data is an important aspect of the way we create, organize and implement our activities on-line and off-line.

Data Collection
You may browse many areas of our Web site, including our home page, without disclosing any personal information about yourself. Within these areas we only collect and store the information that is automatically recognized by the Web server, such as your IP address and files you request from the server.

We collect the personal data that you volunteer on registration, order, survey, or other forms, or by email. Additionally, some areas of our Web site might be available only to certain persons and will require a login and password to access these areas. In order to be granted a login and password you may be asked some demographic information about yourself. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. In specific forms where we may ask for information about children we take steps to protect the privacy of those children by making reasonable efforts to ensure that a parent has entered or authorized the collection of the child's personal information.

Data Analysis
As described above, we sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to our site to help us provide better customer service. For example, we measure visitor activity on our Web site, but we do so in ways that keep the information anonymous. We use the information that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different areas of our site and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. This includes analyzing these logs periodically to measure the traffic through our servers, the number of pages visited and the level of demand for pages and topics of interest. The logs may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the data on our servers.

Data Sharing
Though we make serious efforts to preserve your 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.

In the event Eve J. Alfille Gallery and Studio goes through a business transaction, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will be, in most instances, part of the assets transferred. In all other cases we do not knowingly share, sell, or distribute your personal information with any third party.

Cookies and Other Technologies
We collect the anonymous information we mentioned above through the use of various technologies, one of which is called "cookies." A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Cookies may last for only a single session or may span multiple sessions. Our Web site uses single session cookies with the exception of the shopping cart, which uses a cookie that lasts for three hours or until you check out. We also use cookies throughout the private sections of our Web site in order to prevent security breaches as well as to track user activity. Finally, cookies are employed in such applications as shopping carts, continuing education, or other applications that require the storage of user data from one screen to the next.

Visitor's Choice
Registering on our site is optional. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use the public areas of our Web site. However, you will not be able to receive email alerts, or be allowed access to private areas of our Web site. We view the customer information that we collect as a valuable and confidential asset of which we take great care to ensure its safety.
