Matson Vintage Art Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from this website (the “Site”).  Before submitting information to the Site, please carefully review this Privacy Policy.  By using or accessing the Site, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.  If you prefer that we not collect and process information about you, please do not provide it to us and do not access the Site.  

We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information (defined below) from children under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.  If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has submitted Personal Information online without parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to delete the information as soon as possible and not use such information for any purpose, except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or as required or allowed by law.  If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at: contact@matsonvintageart.com.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT 

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

 Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
Communicate with you
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services. 

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store--you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site--you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here:

https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights. 

The Site may also from time to time offer publicly-accessible blogs, customer reviews or forums.  Any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected and used by others who access them.  To request removal of your Personal Information from blogs, customer reviews or forums, please contact us at: contact@matsonvintageart.com. Please note that in some cases we may be unable to remove your personal information.

BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING 

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

DO NOT TRACK

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked.  Not all browsers offer a DNT option, and DNT signals are not yet uniform.  For this reason, many digital services operators, including us, do not recognize or respond to DNT signals. Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a DNT signal from your browser.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to access Personal Information we hold about you and to ask that your Personal Information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below with clear instructions about what you would like to be corrected, updated, or deleted.

Additionally, we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, if you are a European resident, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

You may instruct us to stop sending you emails, newsletters, or other information by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in the email.  We may, however, continue to use your Personal Information to contact you to service your account or as otherwise authorized by law.

DATA RETENTION

When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law or regulation.

SECURITY METHODS 

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. When we collect or transmit sensitive information such as a credit or debit card number, we use industry standard methods to protect that information. However, no e-commerce solution, website, mobile application, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.” You are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.
