Who we are

Our website address is: https://expressionofart.com.  Expression of Art, LLC has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our strong commitment to privacy.

We have very strict privacy policies and we strive to keep your personal and financial information secure. To that end, we have prepared this privacy policy to disclose and describe our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this privacy policy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete ExpressionofArt.com privacy policy below:

  • This privacy policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when you are on our site, and when you use our services.
  • We pledge to hold all information you provide to us in absolute privacy.
  • We will NEVER sell or rent your name or personal information to any third party without your express permission.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Use of Your Personal Information

Expression of Art, LLC may use personal information collected from you for several general purposes, including to fulfill your requests for products, services and information, improve our services, communicate with you about our products, events and programs, and to contact you.  If you choose to provide your e-mail address, we may periodically send you an e-newsletter or e-card, information about new features or events, announcements, and surveys.  Expression of Art, LLC does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you’ve requested, when we have your permission.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.  If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.  When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices.

Protection of Children’s Personal Information

Expression of Art is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. While our website may be viewed by children, we do not wish to receive data from children. Expression of Art encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the interactive activities offered on the sites their children visit. No information should be submitted to, or posted at, the Expression of Art website by visitors under 18 years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian.

Links to or embedded content from Third Party Sites

This website contains links to other websites that are not controlled by Expression of Art, LLC (“Third Party Sites”), which may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.).  Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.  These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.  Please be aware that we are 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 website that collects personally identifiable information. The Expression of Art Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.  For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Where we send your data
