HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION

VINCENT ART only processes personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Such purposes include:

• Providing our services;

• Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our services;

• Ensuring the technical functioning of our services;

• Protecting the rights or property of our users and VINCENT ART; and Developing new services.

If we use your information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected and specified above, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use. We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

When you send us an email, we use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not shared with outside parties.

VINCENT ART processes personal information on our servers across the world. In some cases, we process personal information on a server outside your own country.

​

​

INFORMATION SHARING

We may share with individuals and third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users on the site, or how many users have viewed a profile or clicked on a particular piece of artwork. Such information will never identify you individually.

We only share personal information with other companies or individuals outside VINCENT ART when we have your consent or as described under this Privacy Policy. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.

We might also share personal information with third parties outside of VINCENT ART to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of VINCENT ART, its users or the public, as required or permitted by law.

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order or when we have your specific consent to do so.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website. For example, we may tell an advertiser the number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or the number of men and number of women that filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

​

OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

​

​

HOW YOU CAN ACCESS OR CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION

You can access all your personally identifiable information (PII) that we collect online and maintain by accessing your personal profile using the my page link at the top of each page on VINCENT ART. Here you can change and edit your personal settings, and select which personal information you make available on your public profile. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

You are entitled to request information regarding the data stored about you free of charge, and have the right to correct, block or delete this data. To do this, you can contact us.

​

​

DATA SECURITY, MEANS OF PAYMENT, GENERAL SECURITY INFORMATION

We take all technical and organisational measures to store your personal data in such a way that it cannot be accessed by third parties. When communicating by email, we cannot guarantee complete data security, so we recommend sending confidential information by post.

In order to offer you the highest possible security, all payment information (e.g. bank details or credit card data) is sent by us exclusively to the payment provider. You have to re-enter these details for every order.

​

​

COLLECTING AND PROCESSING ANONYMOUS DATA

When you access a page, information of a general nature is saved. This includes, inter alia, the type and version of the web browser used, the website from which our site was linked, our websites visited and the date of the visit. All this is information, which does not allow the person to be identified. This anonymous data is only used by VINCENT ART for statistical purposes. This information is not made available to third parties.

​

​

USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies". These are text files – saved on your computer – which allow an analysis of your usage of the website. The analysis drawn up by Google provides us with information about website activities and about website and Internet use. Your technical data is evaluated anonymously and only for statistical purposes in order constantly to optimise our website and to make our online offers even more attractive. Your privacy remains protected; the anonymous data cannot result in an individual person being identified. The generated information is typically transmitted to a server belonging to Google in the USA and saved there. Apart from in exceptional cases where Google only anonymises the IP address in the USA, your IP address is directly abbreviated by Google in the member states of the European Union or in other signatory countries to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The transmitted IP address is not combined with other data by Google. You can prevent the saving of cookies and the processing of data by Google by making the corresponding settings in your browser software. This is the current link for downloading and installing the corresponding browser plugin. We must, however, point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

Apart from the option to install the browser add-on, there is another alternative for preventing the collection of data by Google Analytics. It is particularly interesting for users of mobile devices. To see this alternative, please click on (javascript:gaOptout()). This installs a so-called opt-out cookie, which prevents data tracking on this website. The function remains until the cookie is deleted. When the cookie has been deleted, it is simply a case of calling up the link once more.

SOCIAL PLUGINS

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins can be recognised by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile or a “thumbs-up” sign) or are marked with the suffix “Facebook Social Plugin”. Further information about Facebook social plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/plugins. If you access a page of our website which contains one of these plugins, your browser automatically opens a direct link to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and therefore integrated into the website. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data collected by Facebook using this plugin, but this is what we do know: By integrating the plugins, Facebook obtains information that you accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can link your visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins by, for example, using the “Like Button” or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and saved there. If you are not a Facebook member, it is still possible that Facebook will find out and save your IP address. The purpose and extent of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and possible settings in order to protect your privacy, can be seen in Facebook’s data protection information at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If, as a Facebook member, you do not want Facebook to collect data via our website and link it to your Facebook account, you have to log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

​

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent and we expect that the majority of such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice.
