4. PRIVACY
You value your privacy. The Art Club values it, too. That’s why we created a privacy policy that’s simple and clear. You can be confident of the high priority The Art Club places on safeguarding your personal information.

Why The Art Club asks you for personal information: We use the minimal personal information you provide for three purposes. First, for billing purposes. Second, for distribution of our E-mail Newsletter. And lastly, combined with other users’ data, to track search patterns and site hits so that we can keep improving the website.

How The Art Club protects your information: The Art Club does not share your information with outside parties without your consent. There are two exceptions to this rule. First, when we must enforce user agreements or property rights. And second, when we are required by law or legal process.

The Art Club retains the right to transfer our customer database if The Art Club is sold to or merged with another company. However, this privacy policy will continue to be binding unless you are notified. Please contact us if you would like to change your personal information or if you have any questions about The Art Club’s privacy policy.
