I am committed to protecting your privacy. In this policy I explain how and why I collect your information, what I do with it and what controls you have over my use of it. From time to time, I add or change functions and features of my website. This may result in periodic changes to this Privacy Policy. As a result, please remember to refer back to this Privacy Policy regularly to review any amendments. Any questions regarding my Privacy Policy should be directed to me by using the “Contact” page on this website.

What types of information do I collect?

I collect two types of information: 1) Personal voluntary registration information, such as name, address, phone and email address, and 2) Non-personally identifiable, aggregated statistical information, such as site traffic and usage patterns.

How do I use it?

When you voluntarily share your name and contact information with me, I use this information to send occasional updates that may be of interest. Your information is used solely by me and will never be sold, rented or shared with third parties. You may at any time opt out of being contacted by me, or restrict how you want to be contacted, by communicating with me directly, or by using the “unsubscribe” links in emails I send you. I use cookies (see “Cookies” section below) and analytics software to analyze traffic patterns on my website. I do not collect any information that identifies you specifically, and I use the information in aggregate form to help me improve the functionality of my website.

How do I assure privacy and confidentiality?

To protect your privacy, I and the service that hosts my website use technologies and processes such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls, physical security and other measures. Although I cannot guarantee there will be no unauthorized access to personal information, these measures increase the security and privacy of information traveling to, from and within www.erickellyart.com.

Collection and use of children’s information

I care about the safety and privacy of children online, and I comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulations establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. My website is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13, and I do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive. As mentioned above, I use cookies to analyze site activity and customize content. Cookies can’t read data from your hard disk or read cookie files that were created by other sites. The website that creates a cookie is the only one a browser will permit to access it. Cookies do not allow me to personally identify you by name, e-mail address, or other personal information, nor do they store passwords or credit card information.

Links to other sites

Content on my website links to the sites and services of third parties. Although every effort is made to ensure that any linked sites are reputable, I don’t control the contents or links that appear on the third-party sites. The sites may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies, or no policy at all. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites you may visit before providing any personal information.
