Privacy policy.

Your privacy is important to us, and we want you to be informed about our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy describes how Goshen Art Gallery (“GAG” or “we” or “our” or “us”) may collect and use your information, and your choices about privacy when you use the GAG website, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”). Any capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning given to them in our Terms of Use. By accessing or using the Services in any manner, you agree that your information may be collected, stored, shared, and used as described in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Use. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your use of the Services.

Personal Information In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that can be associated with a specific person and could be used to identify that person. You may need to provide certain Personal Information in order to register for a GAG account or use some of the Services. Personal Information includes but is not limited to your name, username, email address and other contact information. You may choose not to provide certain Personal Information, but this may prevent you from registering for an account or using some of the Services. Under this Privacy Policy, Personal Information does not include any information that has been made anonymous or aggregated so that it can no longer be used to identify a specific person.

Collection of Information Information You Give Us:

  • information you provide when registering for a GAG account, or in your profile and account settings, including your name, username, email address, postal address, phone number, bio, and website URL;

  • information you provide about your preferences and interests;

  • information you enter in forms on the Services;

  • information contained in User Content that you provide on or through the Services;

  • information you may provide to us through other social media services;

  • transaction information, including your buying activity;

  • inquiry information, including when you use the Services to contact us or other Users;

  • information based on your use of any other features of the Services;

  • email, phone or any other communications between you and us.

 

Information Collected Automatically: We automatically collect certain information about how you access and use the Services. Examples of this information may include but are not limited to the Internet browser, operating system, device, and application identifiers, IP address and geo-location information, access times and dates, referring and exit pages, click-stream data, search queries, pages viewed, time spent on pages, bounce rate, and login frequency.

Information from Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect, store, and analyze information. Cookies are data files placed on your computer or other devices to collect or store information. We may use cookies to collect information about how you access and use the Services. We may also use cookies to store information, including but not limited to your account and profile settings, to customize the Services and make them more convenient. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Most browsers have an option to disable cookies, but disabling cookies may prevent you from using some of the Services (for example, logging in to a GAG account requires cookies). We may also use web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFS”), which are pieces of code or pixels embedded in a web page or email, and other similar technologies, to collect information about how you access or use the Services, or to identify when emails that we send you have been received, opened or clicked through. We may also have select third-party service providers place or operate cookies, web beacons or similar technologies on our behalf, to help us collect, store, and analyze information about how the Services are accessed and used. Unless we specifically indicate otherwise, this Privacy Policy covers our use of these technologies only and does not cover the use of cookies or other technologies by third parties.

Information from Other Sources: We may receive or collect additional information about you from third parties, including but not limited to demographic information, additional contact information, and credit history information from credit bureaus or other sources, and we may add this information to other information in our records, as permitted by law. Our uses for such information may include but are not limited to user authentication, fraud detection and prevention, credit-related decisions, and customer support.

Information from Mobile Use: You may be able to access the Services on a mobile device, for example, through a mobile application or a mobile web browser. When you download or use our mobile applications or otherwise access the Services on a mobile device, we may collect information about your location and mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to customize the Services, Content, and marketing for your location. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services, and your choices for location services may vary depending on your mobile device.
