Expression Galleries is committed to respecting and protecting
your online privacy. This Privacy Policy describes what information
we may collect from our consumer Website visitors, and how we use
this information and protect it. In addition to our Website located
at www.expressionfineart.com, we may own other domain names that
may point to this Website. Please note that this Policy applies
only to our Website, and not to any Websites maintained by other
companies or organizations to which we may provide a link. This
Policy does not apply to Websites that may be operated by distributors
of our products.
Please be sure to read this Policy before submitting any information
to our Website. By accessing and using our Website you agree to
the terms of this Policy.
Personally Identifiable Information We Might Collect
Expression Galleries only collects personal information from you
on a voluntary basis. When you submit personal information to Expression
Galleries, it will usually take the form of: (1) Website registration;
(2) customer service. The information we collect may include personal
information such as your name, email address, phone and fax numbers,
and home address. In addition, you may submit demographic and customer
information such as your age, occupation and hobbies, and the reason(s)
for the purchase of our products and/or intended use. We may also
ask about your preferences and interests in order to notify you
of future product launches and company activities that may be of
interest to you.
In particular, we may collect data through:
Website Registration
Information collected from those who register on our Website is
used to provide site registrants the benefits associated with such
registration (such as product-launch and news information).
Customer Service
In order to provide you with the best possible customer service,
Expression Galleries may collect personal information from you.
This information will be used only for the purpose of solving your
customer support inquiry and/or responding to your questions or
request for additional information.
Whatever the activity may be, we will only collect information
to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests
and our business objectives.
Information that's Automatically Collected and Stored, and the
Use of "Cookies"
As many other companies do, Expression Galleries automatically
collects and temporarily stores data through the use of "cookies."
This information serves to control various aspects of our Website,
such as whether to show an introduction page, or to pass data from
one area of our site to another. The purpose of this technology
and the information it provides is to help us improve our Website
experience for visitors and serve up more customized content, tools
and services to a given site visitor. We may automatically collect
from you and temporarily store information including:
- The domain and host from which you access the Internet
- The Internet address of the Website from which you linked directly
to our Website, if applicable
- Your Internet protocol (IP) address
- Your computer's operating system and browser software information
in these "cookies" contains any personal or otherwise
usable information about the consumer.
IP Addresses
Our website uses Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address
is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) so you can access the Internet. Sometimes, an IP address changes
each time you connect to the Internet. This is called a "dynamic"
IP address.
However, if you have a broadband connection, depending on your
individual circumstance, it is possible that the IP address that
we collect, or even perhaps a cookie we use, may contain information
that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband
connections, your IP address doesn't change ("static"
IP address) and could be associated with your personal computer.
When and How Expression Galleries Uses or Discloses Information
We do not provide personally identifiable information about our
Website visitors to third parties, except to (i) vendors and service
providers who may assist us; (ii) in connection with security related
or law enforcement investigations or in the course of cooperating
with authorities; (iii) to comply with legal requirements or to
establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
(iv) when we believe it is necessary to share information in order
to assist in an investigation regarding, or to prevent, illegal
activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats
to the safety of any person; and (v) we may transfer such information
in the future upon a sale or merger of our business or upon a sale
of our assets that includes our Website. Any vendor or service provider
to whom we may provide personally identifiable information is required
to keep your information confidential in accordance with this Policy.
Communications You Receive -- Permission To Contact You
And/or Send You Materials and Information
Only when specifically requested by our Website visitors will the
information we collect be used to respond to visitors' inquiries
and/or to send visitors information/newsletters and notify our customers
about new products we may offer, product developments, or other
corporate activities that may be of interest. We occasionally send
out an email newsletter to our customers to highlight features of
our products, new product launches and the like. In other words,
it is only when you have volunteered information about yourself,
or have specifically requested to receive such contact and information
from us that we come into possession of and/or use any of your personally
identifiable information.
Unsubscribing/Opting Out
If you decide you no longer wish to receive postal mailings and/or
emails from us, please let us know by sending us an email and telling
us you no longer wish to receive postal mail and/or email from us.
Please provide us with your exact name, postal address, and email
