Privacy Policy

---

At Classical Arts Entertainment, we take your privacy very seriously. This privacy policy (the "Policy") applies to our websites www.classicalarts.net and our other websites and services (the “Site”) which post or link to this Policy. This policy describes how Classical Arts Entertainment collects and handles your personal information when you use our Site. This Policy only covers  Classical Arts Entertainment and the information we collect on the Site and does not extend to people or companies that  Classical Arts Entertainment does not employ or manage. We reserve the right to modify this Policy. We will notify you of substantial changes to this Policy by telling you about them in the forums. Should we make a material change to how we handle your collected personal information, we will place a prominent notice on the Site or notify you by email before the change becoming effective.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

• We will not give personal information to advertisers;
• We do not tolerate spam;
• You may occasionally be notified by email of announcements from  Classical Arts Entertainment; you may opt-out of these announcements at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in each email announcement.

Our main purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with an enjoyable, customized, and efficient experience on our Site. Our policy will never willfully disclose any personal information about our registered users to the general public without their consent.  Classical Arts Entertainment collects information from you when you register and conduct certain activities on the Site. We collect your full name, valid telephone number, contact/billing information, email address, and shipping address. Most of this information is collected only when you decide to become a seller on the site. Each Member must create a unique user id and password. We also allow you to create a profile on the Site, which, depending on your preferences, can be public or private. Please note that any information you select to provide in your public profile or via other public areas of the Site can be viewed and used by other Members of these forums to send you unsolicited messages.  Classical Arts Entertainment is not responsible for the personal information users elect to disclose in public forums, and we encourage you to use discretion.

When you elect to email a friend about the Site, we request their email address to fulfill your request. We use this third party personal information to send this one-time email and for no other purposes. If you select to import your contacts, we shall not store your password but shall access your information specifically to update your address book. We do not use the third party personal information of your contacts that you store in your account for any promotional purposes or any purpose not explicitly requested by you.

We post testimonials on the Site. These testimonials include users' names. We obtain users' permission before posting testimonials on the Site. We are not responsible for the personal information a user elects to share within their testimonial. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact us at info@classicalarts.net.

We collect some information from your browser. This includes your IP address and the name of the page you requested. This information helps us to diagnose problems with our servers and administer the Site. Basically, your IP address helps us in identifying you and your specific needs.

Cookies and other tracking technology: We also collect information from cookies, which are software tags stored by a browser onto your hard drive. These bits of information are general in nature, and they allow us to customize our Site to fit your specific preferences. Cookies also allow you to log onto or navigate through specific sections of our Site without re-entering certain information. You can decline the use of cookies, if any, through your browser. We tie cookie information to users' user accounts to track users who set up duplicate accounts. However, we don't make this information publicly visible/available in any way. On occasion, we may also employ Web Beacons and clear Gifs on the Site to track information and traffic on the Site. A Web Beacon is a small 1x1 image that allows a Site to monitor site traffic.

Third-Party Cookies: We may, from time to time, engage third parties to track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from visitors to our Site to help us administer our Site and improve its quality. Such third parties may use cookies to help track visitor behavior. Such cookies will not be used to associate individual website visitors with any personal information.

Our third-party partners employ clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), images, and scripts that help them better manage content on our Site. We do [not] tie the information gathered to our Customers’ or Users’ personal information.

The information collected from Classical Arts Entertainment  Members is used to improve product offerings, customize our Site's content and layout, and marketing and statistical effort. Occasionally, we will send you emails about our new services or promotions. You can always opt-out to receive any information from us by updating your account preferences in your account or using the unsubscribe link contained in each email. To change access, delete, or modify any of your personal information can be accomplished by logging into your account on the Site. We reserve the right to send users service and notification emails, which are considered a part of your account; given that these messages are not promotional in nature, you generally cannot opt-out of account notifications without deleting your account.

Our number one priority is to keep your personal information private and confidential. We will not willfully disclose your personal information to third parties. And we will not rent or sell your personal information to anyone. However, certain personal information will be made available to others in the process of using our Site. This information includes:

• Other visitors to our Site may view your user ID, rating, city, profile (which includes multiple fields you may elect to fill out or leave blank), and other items you have for sale;
• To complete the transaction, the buyer and seller are provided with each other's email and postal address;
• When making an offer, the seller can view your user ID, rating, and your city.

Of course, once you provide personal information to a buyer or seller on our Site,  Classical Arts Entertainment has no control over how the other individual uses that information. It would be best if you discussed any privacy concerns you may have with any individual you meet through our Site, as the only protection you will have is whatever terms you agree to directly with the other individual.

 Classical Arts Entertainment will disclose your personal information to others under the following circumstances:

• You consent to share the information;
• To law enforcement where a formal request has been made such as in responding to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process;
• Your actions on our Site are or appear to violate the Terms of Service, and disclosure of this information will assist in efforts to enforce the Terms of Service;
• You post a listing, which  Classical Arts Entertainment believes in its sole discretion, may create liability for  Classical Arts Entertainment, and disclosure of this personal information may minimize or eliminate its liability.
• To our service providers: we employ the services of a third-party payment processor on the Site to fulfill payment when a purchase is executed. Messages sent between buyers and sellers on  Classical Arts Entertainment may be shared with the third party payment processor in the event of a purchase dispute. This third party isn’t authorized to utilize your personal information for any other purposes.

Nothing in this Policy shall limit, prohibit, or otherwise deny the ability of  Classical Arts Entertainment to (1) transfer, assign, or sell its assets, including, without limitation, the assets of our Site, to a third party or (2) dispose of its assets in any manner through bankruptcy or similar proceeding.  Classical Arts Entertainment also makes no representations regarding and disclaims all liability arising out of, or related to, the accuracy or completeness of the information it collects and discloses through our Site. In the event of a business transfer of assets, which could include your personal information, we shall notify you by email or by a notice on the Site of any significant changes to the information practices governing your personal information.

Minors (under the age of 18) are not eligible to use  Classical Arts Entertainment unless they use our Site through a parent or guardian who is a registered Member of  Classical Arts Entertainment.

We go to great lengths to protect all of your information on our Site. To help us maintain your personal information security, we ask that you do not share your password with anybody.
