Privacy Policy

This site, www.lonelymanart.com, is owned and operated by Lonely Man Art. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Lonely Man Art, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.

GATHERING AND TRACKING OF INFORMATION

We gather two types of information about users:

  • Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. This information is collected when, for example, you make a purchase on our website.
  • Information we gather through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to better understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances do we divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

We Gather User Information In The Following Processes:

When you make a purchase on the website, our shopping cart software will collect your name, billing and shipping address and credit card information. This information is used solely to process your order, and is kept and managed by our order-processing service. We don not keep or share this information in any other way.

Children

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without obtaining parental consent.

Usage tracking

We may track user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We may break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

We may track and catalog the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

Cookies

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We may use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to make purchases in our online store.

We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

We require that those companies use the information only to deliver the specific product or service they are contracted to provide.

We may release personal information if required by law, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena.

SECURITY

We make every effort to ensure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive user information using industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies. For example, when entering personal address, phone number, and credit card information, we use Secure Socket Layer encryption to ensure unauthorized individuals cannot intercept and read this data over a network connection. You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."
