Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Artific operates Artific.me and may manage other websites. Artific is committed to respecting your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Similar to other website operators, Artific collects non-personally-identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use our websites. Periodically, Artific may release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate form, such as by publishing a report on website usage trends.
Artific also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and users leaving comments on Artific.me blogs/sites. This information is disclosed under the same conditions as personally-identifying information, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Artific’s websites choose to interact with us in ways that require Artific to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information collected depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at Artific.me to provide a username and email address. Those engaging in transactions with Artific are asked to provide additional information, including personal and financial information necessary to process those transactions. Artific collects such information only as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Artific. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, though it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Artific may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. This information may be displayed publicly or provided to others. However, Artific does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Artific discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Artific’s behalf or to provide services available at Artific’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of these employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside your home country; by using Artific’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Artific will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, Artific discloses such information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Artific believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Artific, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Artific website and have supplied your email address, Artific may occasionally send you an email to inform you about new features, solicit your feedback, or keep you updated with what’s happening with Artific and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help support other users. Artific takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, which the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Artific uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the Artific website, and their website access preferences. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Artific’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of our websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
In the event that Artific, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Artific goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Artific may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Artific and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Artific may change its Privacy Policy from time to time at Artific’s sole discretion. We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to our Privacy Policy. If you have an Artific.me account, you might also receive an alert informing you of these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
