Privacy Policy

This website is owned and operated by Artsmith, Inc. (“Artsmith” or “we” or “us”). Artsmith respects your right to personal privacy. We have created this Privacy Policy to share our information collection, use, and protection practices. Please read this policy carefully before sharing any personal information. We will not collect, use, disclose, rent, sell, or otherwise transfer your personal information without your consent, except as otherwise set out in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Usage
Artsmith treats the personal information of its users with great consideration. You are able to enjoy our website without providing us with any personal information. However, we do collect information through our website when you contact us using our online contact or donation forms. We collect the information you provide for the purposes of responding to any questions/comments/suggestions you submit, processing your donations, and conducting research in order to improve our processes and services.

Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change/correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety and confidentiality of all personal information in our custody and control. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Although we take reasonable measures to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control, we need you to understand that we are unable to guarantee that your personal information will never be disclosed or accessed in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, processing a donation) are granted access to personal information. The computers/servers in which we store personal information are kept in a secure environment.

Sharing
We may share aggregated, anonymous demographic information with our partners or supporters. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

We retain outside companies to process donations. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personal information for any secondary purposes beyond processing your donation.

Links
We may offer links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or 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 any other site that collects personal information.

United States
Our service is maintained from within the United States of America. If you are located outside of the United States, by using the service, you authorize the export of personal information to the United States and its storage and use as specified in this Privacy Policy.

Your Consent
By using our site, you consent to this Privacy Policy.

Updates
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at (718) 709-9044 or via email at [email protected].
