This Policy covers our collection and use of your personally identifiable information (“PII”) when you access our Site, which PII is either provided to us by you or collected automatically because you have visited or transacted on the Site. This Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we neither own or control.

II. What PII Do We Collect?

The PII we collect from Users of the Site enables us to personalize and improve our Services. PII does not include information that has been aggregated or made anonymous so that by itself it no longer identifies and can no longer reasonably be used to contact a specific person or household. 

We collect the following types of information from our Users:

     It is your responsibility to keep your account information current, and you are able to update your profile as often as necessary in order to do so. If at any time you decide to terminate your account, we have the right to store a copy of the data provided if it is required to complete a financial transaction which has not yet been completed or to comply with applicable law. Once your account is terminated, your data will be anonymized such that it can no longer be associated with your name or used to identify you or a household specifically.

     When payment for an Artwork is made via wire transfer, we will collect from you any and all information necessary to effectuate that payment, including but not limited to your contact information and bank information.
