Security and Ordering
At BestArt.com, we use state-of-the-art security measures to
prevent your personal information from being compromised or tampered with in any
way both online and offline. Our secure server encrypts the information you
enter before it is sent to us. By employing these security measures, we protect
you, our customer, from any improper use of the information you’ve provided.
We request information on our secure order form. Here youmust provide contact information (such as name and address) and payment
information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information
is used for billing and shipping purposes. If we have trouble processing your
order, this contact information is used to successfully solve the problem. When
our secure order form asks users to enter this sensitive information, that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry-SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon
on the bottom of web browsers becomes "locked", as opposed to "unlocked", or
open, when just surfing.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our user’s information is restricted in our offices, where
only individuals who need information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information.
If you would like to update, change or correct any of yourpersonal information, please contact us by
e-mail, telephone or snail mail.
Notification of Changes
It is also the current policy of BestArt.com to never share,
sell, or rent your personal information. If you would like to ensure that we
never do so in the future, please click here. If we decide to change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes on our Homepage so that our users are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if
any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use that information in this different manner. We will
use this information in accordance with the privacy policy under which it was
collected.
Communication
All information provided to BestArt.com is used exclusively
to enhance and simplify your shopping experience. We may occasionally send you
special offers or information about BestArt.com and our other art and art
related sites. If you do not wish to receive any updates or special offers,

Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that
can identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company (for example, UPS) to
ship orders, and an outside credit card processing company to bill users for
goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users' personally identifiable information. This can be done by emailing our Customer Support at info@bestart.com

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.

For instance, you will not have access to our shopping cart or be able to retrieve stored information regarding you shipping and billing preferences.
Additionally, third-party cookies are implemented on the site to track users' movements and return on investment for our marketing campaigns. No personal information is tied to this cookie.
