www.artdesignobject.com (hereinafter, the "ADO Marketplace") knows you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we'll do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting ADO Marketplace, you're accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Terms and Conditions will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
What Personal Information About Customers Does ADO Marketplace Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at ADO Marketplace. Here are the types of information we gather.
(1) Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
(2) Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses ADO Marketplace.
What About Cookies?
(1) Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser, to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as 'Remember Me', and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
(2) The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of ADO Marketplace's essential features, we recommend you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to checkout, or use 'Remember Me' feature.
Does ADO Marketplace Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we're not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries ADO Marketplace, controls that are either subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
(1) Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
(2) Promotional Offers: Sometimes, we send offers to selected groups of ADO Marketplace customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we don't give that business your name and address. If you don't want to receive such offers, please contact our customer representative at
customerservice@artdesignobject.com.
(3) Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that ADO Marketplace, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information of course will be one of the transferred assets.
(4) Protection of ADO Marketplace: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of ADO Marketplace, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit-risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
(5) With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you'll receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you'll have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
(1) We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you enter.
(2) We don't store any of your address information and/or credit card numbers in our server. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
(3) It's important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and your computer.
Which Information Can I Access?
ADO Marketplace gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with ADO Marketplace for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.
What Choices Do I Have?
(1) As discussed above, you always can choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase.
(2) You can add or update certain information on pages such as those listed in the "Which Information Can I Access?" section, above. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
(3) If you don't want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please contact our customer representative at
customerservice@artdesignobject.com.
(4) The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of ADO Marketplace's essential features, we recommend you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to checkout, or use any ADO Marketplace products and services that require you to sign in.
Are Children Allowed to Use ADO Marketplace?
ADO Marketplace does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you're under 18, you may use ADO Marketplace only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
If you choose to visit ADO Marketplace, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Terms and Conditions, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the province of Ontario.
