1. How We Handle Customer Information

• We do not collect personal information when you visit our site unless you log on, place an order or register with us.
• When you place an order you will be asked for the following personal information: your name, e-mail address, mailing address, delivery address and any special delivery instructions and phone number. We may share this information, and only that information which is absolutely necessary, with those third parties that are involved in the processing of your order. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your order.
• ArkArt is committed to reducing the amount of fraud it faces. Our policy is that we will prosecute any cases of fraud that we identify. As a first time customer, you may receive a telephone call or email requesting more information/proof to confirm the details that you have supplied to us. If any of the information you supply is found to be false or misleading, we will, if we deem it appropriate, report this to the appropriate authorities for them to prosecute.
• We do not share, sell, rent or barter any identifiable personal information to any third party without your permission.
• When you log on to our site, we will ask you your e-mail address and user ID, which is usually your name.

2. How We Protect Customer Information

For credit card transactions, ArkArt adds security by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This means that the credit card information you send is encrypted by your computer, and then decrypted again on our side, preventing others from accessing your private information in between. So, when using an SSL capable browser, shopping on ArkArt's website is the safest kind of transaction possible with a credit card.
