Privacy Policy
Artist Authorized's Privacy Policy covers the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that may be collected by Artist Authorized anytime you interact with us, such as when you visit our website, post on our messageboards, or when you use the Artist Authorized logo. Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information practices, including what type of information is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your personal information.
WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect your personal information because we need it in order to allow you to use the Artist Authorized logo and to communicate with you about issues relating to the logo, changes in the license agreement or terms of use, and your use of the logo.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE MAY USE IT
There are a limited number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better products. For example: In order to issue you an Artist Authorized license, we will ask for your personal information such as your name, mailing address, phone number, fax number, age, and email address. We collect information regarding user activities on the Artist Authorized website to improve its functionality
PUBLICLY DISPLAYED INFORMATION IS PUBLIC
If you use a bulletin board on the Artist Authorized site you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these forums can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. Artist Authorized is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums. For example, if you choose to make information, which was previously non-public, available by enabling certain user features, Artist Authorized will collect that information from your interaction and the information will become publicly available.
WHEN WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
Artist Authorized takes your privacy very seriously. Artist Authorized does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers.
At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Artist Authorized takes precautions - including administrative, technical, and physical measures - to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure web browser.
Kids
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing purposes, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the personal information of the user or Artist Authorized licensee, and will be treated as such by this privacy policy. If a child under 13 submits personal information to Artist Authorized and we learn that that personal information is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.
Cookies and other technologies
As is standard practice on many websites, Artist Authorized's website uses "cookies" and other technologies to help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there. We use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on our website, to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications. And we use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us.
If, however, you prefer not to enable cookies, please consult your computer's help manuals to learn how you can disable cookies.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Artist Authorized will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.
In addition we use pixel tags - tiny graphic images - to tell us what parts of our website customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our site.
Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we're sending only messages that are of interest to our customers. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a customer. We store all of this information in a secure database located in Austin, Texas in the United States.
