Privacy Policy

ArtPotteryPlace.com has created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our commitment to Internet privacy. This policy describes the means by which ArtPotteryPlace.com gathers information and how that information is used. The areas covered in this policy are:

• What personally identifiable information of yours or third party personally identification is collected from you through the web site
• The organization collecting the information
• How the information is used
• With whom the information may be shared
• What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information
• The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control
• How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information

Information Collection and Use

ArtPotteryPlace.com is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We do not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

Registration

In order to fully use our web site, a user must complete the registration form. During registration, a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.

Order

The site will request information from the user during the checkout and registeration process. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date) if paying by credit card. This information is used for billing purposes and to allow sellers to fill customer's orders.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user may be limited in some areas of our site.

Sharing

We do not share user's information beyond that required to complete specific purchases.

Links

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that ArtPotteryPlace.com is 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 website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.

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 those 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.

Correction/Updating Personal Information

If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. 

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected
