Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 24, 2025

Artvetting.com Inc. (“Artvetting,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of www.artvetting.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through the Site. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this Site. We encourage you to consult this page periodically for any updates. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use.

As used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies, among other identifiers, on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally.

Personal Information
In the course of using the Site and Services, you may provide us with personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, credit card or other billing information, email address and home postal address. We use your Personal Information primarily to provide and improve the Site and Services.

We may also request certain information, such as your zip code, personal preferences and demographic information, which is typically considered “Non-Identifying Information” because it cannot, by itself, be used to contact or identify you.

We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) primarily to provide and improve the Services, to complete your transactions and administer your inquiries.

Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But, the same items of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Identifying Information (for example, your age). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other Artvetting users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Site and Services and to analyze and understand how our Site and Services are used.

We also use your Personal Information to contact you with Artvetting newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or via the [TK] section of the Site. (See “Changing or Deleting Information,” below.)

Log Data
When you visit the Site, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site, pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Site, access times and dates, ads you click on during your use of the Site, your viewing preferences, bookmark habits and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Site and for the Site’s technical administration, to increase our Site’s functionality and user-friendliness and to better tailor the Site to our visitors’ needs. For example, some of this information is collected so that when you visit the Site again, it will recognize you and serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Site meet the criteria required to process their requests.

Cookies. Web Beacons.
Like many websites, we use “cookies” to gather information “cookies” and “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, 1-by-1 GIFs, and web bugs), which are identifiers transferred to your computer through your browser that allow us to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited, advertisements viewed, by how many people and to engage in other reporting. These identifiers do not contain Personal Information about you. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser to prevent or limit your computer’s acceptance of cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of the Site’s features. You can delete cookies at any time or you may be able to set your browser to reject or disable cookies. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site or all functionality of our Services.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
Users – When you register for the Site, your Personal Information (including, but not limited to, your name) will be publicly viewable on the Site. We recommend that you guard your sensitive information and think carefully about what information you post on the Site.

Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information – We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personal Information.

Service Providers – We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services, to provide our Services on our behalf, to perform Site-related services (e.g., without limitation, payment processing, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the Site’s features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Site and Services are used. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement – Artvetting cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of Artvetting or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

Business Transfers – Artvetting may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.

Changing or Deleting Your Information
To amend or delete your Personal Information you provide to Artvetting, you must contact us at [email protected]. If you completely delete all Personal Information, your account may be deactivated. We may retain an archived copy of your records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. Your Artvetting account information is protected by a password. Artvetting encrypts sensitive information (such as credit card number) using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Artvetting follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once Artvetting receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
