PRIVACY POLICY
HOW WE TREAT YOUR INFORMATION AND CONTENT


Artqol does not send Spam or sell email addresses. This Privacy Policy describes how we treat the information we collect when you visit our web sites and/or received any emails from Artqol.

​

1. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY ARTQOL.
In order to send you e-mail from Artqol (if any), we need your e-mail address. To provide you with additional services, we may also request your name, geographical coordinates, and telephone number. Artqol Co. does not collect any other personal information that you do not expressly provide. Artqol Co. will not sell, rent or share your personal information, including your e-mail address, with any third parties for marketing purposes without your express permission. Artqol Co. may share your personal information for the purpose of delivering our e-mail to you or as required by law. Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, Artqol Co. may need to disclose personal information when required by law and when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process that Artqol Co. receives. We may also collect demographic and other data, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, generally through surveys and forms which you may or may not choose to participate in. If you place an order for goods or services through Artqol Co., you may be required to enter your credit card number and information, as well as your shipping address and/or other contact information.

​

2. NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION.
We may also request non-personally identifiable information, such as buying preferences, or age, also known as demographic and profile data, though this information is optional. We may use this data to improve our website and/or customize your experience at our site, showing you content that we think you might be interested in, and displaying content according to your preferences. We may also share this information with others, such as advertisers interested in on our site, in aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the information will not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any other person.

​

3. PROFILE PAGE.
If you choose to sign up for a free Artqol account, you may have a Profile page on the site, containing your username and some basic information related to demographics and your artistic career. You may also add additional optional information to your Profile. You may control what type of Profile information is shown to others through your Account Settings. Links to your Profile Page may be included on other Artqol pages. If you send a message to a Artqol user through a future Artqol internal Messages feature, that person may be informed of your email address. PLEASE NOTE THAT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION A MEMBER CHOOSES TO INCLUDE IN HIS OR HER PROFILE, OR WHAT PRIVACY PREFERENCES HE OR SHE CHOOSES, CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT EACH MEMBER WILL BE INCLUDED IN THAT MEMBER'S PUBLIC PROFILE AND MAY BE ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE VISITING THAT PROFILE PAGE ON THE WORKS.IO WEBSITE.

​

4. PUBLIC FORUMS REMINDER.
This site may in future make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. Exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. Although we value individual ideas and encourage free expression, Artqol reserves the right to take necessary action to preserve the forum's integrity, such as removing any posting that is vulgar, off-topic, or inappropriate.

​

5. USAGE INFORMATION.
In addition to collecting personal and non-personal information, Artqol Co. may also collect non-personal, aggregated information about subscribers' use of our site. This information is not personally identifiable and will only be used to find out how subscribers use our service and site. For example, this information will tell us how much time users spend on our site, from which other sites subscribers came, and to what other sites subscribers go. The collection of this information allows us to, among other things, prepare for traffic load demands and to efficiently deliver relevant information.

​

6. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED BY ARTQOL'S BUSINESS PARTNERS.

Works.io Co. may correlate or match registered Users' information, including Personally Identifiable Information, with information held by our Business Partners to target ads or otherwise improve the effectiveness of our service. Our Business Partners may read or set cookies on your hard drive, use pixel tags, track which ads you have viewed, or collect other information about you.

From time to time, Works.io Co. may also have special offers or promotions that are sponsored by a Business Partner. In order to participate in these offers, you may be required to follow a separate registration process. If you consent to receive information from a Business Partner, through an opt-in or opt-out process, Works.io Co. may pass your information to such Business Partner.

Artqol may also offer goods or services for purchase available by our Business Partners. If you purchase goods or services offered through Artqol by a Business Partner, then you may be required to submit Personally Identifiable Information in order to complete the transaction and Artqol may provide your Personally Identifiable Information to such Business Partner for that purpose.
