Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously.  We’re committed to keeping your data safe and giving you full control over if and how your data is used. The following policy is for www.robinhostickart.com, and only applies to information collected through this web site unless otherwise stated in the policy.  Read on for more information about the types of information collected, who it is shared with, how it can be corrected, how it is secured, how we’ll communicate policy changes, and what to do if you have any concerns about our policy or the use of your information.

How We Collect, Use, and Share Information

The information collected on this site is solely owned by Robin Hostick Art.  Any personally identifiable information about you must be voluntarily given by you through the web site, via email, or another form of direct communication from you.  Your information will not be sold to anyone else.

We only collect information from you as it relates to your interest in Robin Hostick Art, for example to fulfill an order, respond to a request, or provide you with information you have expressed interest in receiving, and to improve our business and serve our customers.  Your information will not be shared with any third parties except as needed to facilitate these interactions or as stated elsewhere in this policy.

If you have supplied contact information, and if you have not declined to receive information from us, we may periodically reach out to you via email to let you know about special offers, new artwork, changes in our policies, or other information related to your interest in Robin Hostick Art.

How You Can Access and Control Your Information

If for any reason you no longer wish to get information from us, you can opt out of future communication any time.  By contacting us via any means provided on our website, you are welcome any time to see and review any data we may have relating to you, make changes or corrections to your data, ask us to permanently delete that data, or share any other concerns about how we might use your data.

Security

We take a variety of important measures to help ensure your information is kept safe both online and offline.

Any sensitive information you share through our website is encrypted and protected using current SSL certificates managed by Squarespace (web site host) storefront.  Our website is enabled with secure SSL settings, which can be verified by the lock icon in your browser, as well as the “https” prefix on the web address.  All credit card transactions are processed through the secure storefront operated by Squarespace.com, with credit card orders processed through Stripe.com.  Click here to see Stripe.com security practices.  Purchases are also enabled through Apple Pay and PayPal. 

Credit card numbers must be entered anew for each purchase; Robin Hostick Art does not currently use customer accounts.  Robin Hostick Art does not collect or store any credit card numbers.  

We do not, and will not, use email to request or transmit sensitive personal information like credit card numbers.  For orders paid by credit card, your order confirmation emails will only display the last four (4) digits of your credit card number.

All orders processed through the embedded fineartamerica.com print shop storefront are handled according to Fine Art America’s privacy policies, terms and conditions, which may be viewed here.

In addition to encryption security for online purchases and sharing of personal information, we also take measures to keep your information secure offline.  Only Robin Hostick Art employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g customer service, direct communication) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers on which we store any personally identifiable information (name, email, address or phone number) are encrypted and kept in a secure environment.

Policy Update Notification

Robin Hostick Art may revise these policies at any time without notice by posting revised policies at this location. If for any reason you feel we may not be following the policies described here, please contact us right away using any of the contact information posted on this site.

Other Service Providers

Other companies and individuals may be retained to handle certain functions for us.  These might include, but may not be limited to, web hosts, fulfilment companies (e.g. printers, drop ship storefronts), payment processors, data analysts, email service providers, postal services, and others.  Personally identifiable information may be provided to third parties such as these to enable the services retained by Robin Hostick Art to serve our customers only; your information may not be used for any other purpose except as described elsewhere in this policy.

Data Usage and Third Parties
