Privacy Policy Statement

Starving Artists Gallery maintains high standards for the protection of privacy over the Internet. The purpose of this statement is to explain the types of information Starving Artists Gallery obtains about visitors to our sites, how the information is obtained, how it is used, and how visitors can restrict its use or disclosure.

The only information Starving Artists Gallery obtains about individual visitors to our website is information supplied voluntarily by the visitor. This means that you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself--we DO NOT track where you go on our sites, so you never receive unsolicited emails from us or our advertisers. To gauge the effectiveness of our website, we do collect some non-individually-identifiable generic information about our visitors. Our web servers automatically recognize a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .edu, etc.), the web page from which a visitor enters our site, which pages a visitor visits on our site, and on some sites, how much time a visitor spends on each page. This information does not reveal a visitor's identity. We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve our website.

You can choose to provide individually-identifiable information to Starving Artists Gallery in a number of ways through our sites - by ordering a service from us, sending us email, registering to receive news or website update information, or entering a contest or competition. When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, Starving Artists Gallery uses the information for that purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested). In addition, when visitors use our website to order services, or to request information about our services, we may use the individually-identifiable information as we would use the same information obtained off-line--for example, to evaluate your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may find useful. You have the right to cancel any service you sign up for. Email cancel@starvingartistsgallery.com

We do not sell or disclose individually-identifiable information obtained on-line about our visitors to anyone outside of Starving Artists Gallery unless it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees or property. If you provide individually-identifiable information to us in the context of an event Starving Artists Gallery sponsors with another company, such as a contest, or if you register on a co-sponsored site or feature, you may also be providing the individually-identifiable information to the co-sponsor.

While we do not disclose individually-identifiable information obtained on-line about our visitors to anyone outside of Starving Artists Gallery, including advertisers, those signing up for services may receive site-specific information regarding updates, news, competitions, contests, or other information which we deem to be important to our visitors. This may include commercial messages as part of the email. When commercial messages are part of the email (or the entire email), it will be designated "Advertisement" or "Commercial Message."

Some of Starving Artists Gallery's sites may use "cookies" to improve our level of service to visitors. Cookies are lines of text that are transmitted to your web browser when you click on a site. Your browser stores the information on your hard drive and when you return to that site later, the cookie is transmitted back to the server that originally sent it to you. Cookies provide a way for a server to recall a previous request or previous registration, or to keep track of a transaction as it progresses, so that information does not have to be repeated. To be notified when you are about to receive a cookie you can configure your browser to alert you when a site is attempting to send you a cookie and at that time you will have the option of refusing the cookie. You can check your hard drive for cookie files, on the "cookies.txt" file on your PC's hard drive; or under "magic cookies" on a Macintosh.

Starving Artists Gallery is committed to safeguarding customer privacy on all Starving Artists Gallery sites. We require our staff to protect the privacy of information about our customers and expect our partners and suppliers to do so as well. You can feel confident that your individually-identifiable information will be protected when you access our webpages or order services from us over the Internet. We employ security measures to safeguard your transactions with us.

The Starving Artists Gallery sites may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites.

To improve the services it can offer you, Starving Artists Gallery may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. Starving Artist Gallery will update this privacy statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area. Starving Artist Gallery has adopted Privacy Principles that state our commitment and define our policy on safeguarding customer privacy in all of our businesses.
