- DEFINITIONS. This is what we mean when we use the following terms in this Privacy Policy:
- “Information “means the information we collect about you and your interaction with our Site. It includes information you provide to us, information we collect when you shop with us, create an Account, or join our loyalty program. Depending on how it is used or shared, some Information can be PII or De-identified Information, as those terms are defined below.
- “Personally, Identifiable Information “or “PII” means information that directly identifies or can reasonably be used to identify a particular individual (for example, email address). PII does not include De-identified Information.
- “De-identified Information “or “Anonymous Information “is information that does not directly identify and cannot be reasonably linked to a particular individual. We treat IP addresses and other unique identifiers – such as cookie IDs, advertising IDs and device IDs – as De-identified Information when they cannot reasonably be used to identify a particular individual. We also consider aggregated information and Device Identifiable Information to be De-identified Information.
- “Device Identifiable Information “or “DII” is a type of De-identified Information that directly identifies or can reasonably be used to identify a specific browser, device, or group of devices, but does not directly identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify a specific individual.
- “Financial Information “means information related to your financial relationship with us, including your payment history and payment information provided to us by our Service Provider, PayPal (“PayPal”)
- “Usage and Device Information “means information about your use of the Site, including your accessing, viewing, and downloading of Site content. This includes your activities, your IP address, your browser type, your Internet service provider (ISP), referring exit pages, your operating system or device type, date-time stamps, and related metadata. It also means information about your mobile device collected when the device interacts with the Site, including unique device ID (including MAC ID and other identifiers), device type, device status, device serial number, and information about the settings, configurations, and software on your device.
- “Service Provider(s)” means third party vendor(s) that perform services on our behalf in connection with the offering, operation and provision of the Site and the fulfillment of orders. These vendors for example, provide authentication, fraud prevention, payment processing, billing, web hosting, analytics, and advertising and marketing services.

Your data is stored through PayPal’s databases and the general PayPal application.

- Information Collected via Cookies, Web Beacons and Similar Technologies: We and our Service Providers use web tracking technologies known as “cookies”, and “Clear GIFs” (also known as “web beacons,” “Internet tags,” “pixels” or “pixel tags”) to collect additional information about your interaction with the Site. A cookie is a small, encrypted computer code added to a file on your computer as a record of your visit. It does not collect or provide your name or any other personal information about you but can be used to recognize your device or computer when you return as a repeat visitor to our Site. Clear GIFs are lines of code that allow websites to summarize overall visitor usage patterns and to provide personalized services.

- WHEN AND WITH WHOM WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION. We only disclose PII as described in this Privacy Policy. We may share your Information with the following types of parties:
- Authorized Parties With Your Consent. We may disclose PII about you to third parties with your consent. For example, when you submit an order for delivery, you are implicitly consenting to our sharing your Information with our shipment provider to fulfill your order.
- Service Providers. We may share your PII with our Service Providers. For example, we may use third party analytics services to collect data about usage of our Site. In addition, our Site is hosted on A2Hosting. PayPal is a Service Provider that provides us with the e-commerce services, including credit card processing, and marketing and analytics services. We may also share your PII with Facebook to facilitate marketing and advertising services.
- ArtBy-KC Employees, Agents, and Affiliates. We may share Information, including PII, with our employees, agents, and affiliates. We may also share Information, including PII, in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale or all, or components of, our business. When we do this, those employees, agents, and affiliates will use and protect your Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- Lawful Disclosures. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose your PII if we are required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary: 1) to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, court order or other legal process; 2) to investigate violations of this Privacy Policy, or other contracts we have with you; 3) to respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; 4) to respond to your requests for customer service; and 5) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the public. We may also disclose PII to law enforcement agencies in emergency circumstances, where the disclosure of such information is consistent with the types of emergency disclosures permitted or required by law.
- CHOICES YOU HAVE TO LIMIT USE AND SHARING OF INFORMATION.
Emails. When you create an Account, you may receive certain emails: (1) We may send you newsletters and other emails about new or upcoming products, services, or offers. If you decide you no longer wish to receive these emails, you may opt-out as instructed in each email or in your Account settings. We may also, from time to time, send you other emails concerning your Account status. You may not opt-out of receiving these transactional emails.
Please note, you opt-out preferences may not take effect immediately and do not retroactively apply to existing advertising/promotional messages or campaigns.
- HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION. We employ physical, electronic, administrative, and procedural safeguards to protect your Information, including PII. Despite these measures, we do not guarantee the security of Information stored in our database or that unauthorized parties will not intercept Information you send or receive over the internet. As a shared resource, the internet subjects our services and you to the risk of unauthorized access to files and data, even when security measures are implemented.
- YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.
- a. CCPA – Based on the current applicability of the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA), the CCPA does not apply to us. We do not “Sell” (as defined under the CCPA) the PII of any of our customers.
- Shine the Light Law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83). A separate California law requires that we provide CA Residents with notice and choice with respect to the disclosure of their personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We provide this notice in Sections 4.b above. This satisfies our obligation to otherwise maintain or furnish users with a list of the names and addresses of third parties who receive PII from us for marketing purposes. If you are a CA resident who wishes to opt-out of such sharing, please email Info@artby-kc.com. All requests should be labeled “Your California Privacy Rights” on the email subject line. For all requests, please clearly state that the request is related to “Your California Privacy Rights” and include the email address associated with your Account.

The data privacy and protection laws of the United States might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By accessing our Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy, and you consent to such transfer.
- CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Site. We encourage you to periodically review the Privacy Policy to inform yourself of any changes. The revised Privacy Policy will be effective on the date it is posted unless the revised notice states otherwise.
