L'ARTE DECOR has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your information. As part of the normal operation of services, we collect and, in some instances, disclose information about you. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Our site's registration forms (e.g., "Preferred Customer Mailing List", Shopping Cart system, and "Feedback Forum") require users to give us contact information (like your name and email address), unique identifiers (like your password), and demographic information (like your zip code).

Certain information, such as passwords and e-mail addresses, is collected in order to, among other things, verify your identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.

Our site may use cookies to keep track of your use of our site. Cookies are stored on your computer, and are not stored on the L'ARTE DECOR site anywhere. We may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, and to recognize you when you visit our site.

In the future, if you decide to purchase any products we offer, then we will need to collect certain financial information, such as your credit card number, credit card expiration date, and billing address ("Financial Information"). Financial Information that is collected is used to check your qualifications for registration, to bill you for products and services, and for other purposes. We do not share Financial Information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to provide you with the products and services.

We may use customer contact information from the registration forms to send you information about L'ARTE DECOR and promotional material from some of our partners. Your contact information is also used to contact you when necessary.

We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address may also used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information. Finally, we may use your IP address to help protect ourselves and our partners from fraud.

L'ARTE DECOR cannot ensure that all of your personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be required to disclose personally identifiable information to the government or by court order under certain circumstances, or other situations may arise requiring such disclosure.
