We are committed to handling your personal information

transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL),
encryption technology. When the letters "http" in the URL change to
"https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also,
your browser may give you a pop–up message that you're about to enter a
secure area. SSL protects your personal information during data
transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address
and credit card number. Our customer service center and store operate
over a private, secure network. Please note that e–mail is not encrypted
and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card
information.

Website; (e) attempting to interfere with this Website, including the
host, network, or user, in any manner; (f) sending e–mails that were not
solicited, including ads and promotions; or (e) forging a TCP/IP packet
header or any part of header information. These violations could result
in civil or criminal penalties.

Cookies and how we use them
A "cookie" is a small data file stored by your Web
browser on your computer's hard drive. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. It allows us to recognize
your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our
site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other
customer information you have provided us. That customer information is
stored on our secured database.
We use cookies to keep track of what you have in your
shopping cart and to remember you when you return to the Website as well
as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and
the name of the Website you visited immediately before clicking to
ArtDecoAtelier.com. We use this information to improve our site design,
product assortments, customer service, and special promotions. You have
the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your
browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the
functionality on our Website.
Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
The Website may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons – sometimes also called single–pixel gifs – that allow Art Deco
Atelier to count users who have visited certain pages.
Children's privacy
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. Our
Website is a general audience site. We do not collect or maintain
information from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our
Website is targeted to attract anyone under 13. We also do not send
email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age
of 13 without their parent's consent. If you are a parent or guardian of
a child between the ages of 13 and 18, you are financially and legally
responsible for the child’s actions on this Site. No person under 13
years of age may use this Site.
Links to and from this Website
While visiting ArtDecoAtelier.com, you may link to other
sites operated by certain of our affiliates. Any links in this Website
to products, marks, names, services, or resources on other sites, and
any links from any other sites to the Website, are solely for your
convenience. This does not mean that ArtDecoAtelier.com endorses these
sites. We do not make any representations or warranties about any site
you may access through this Website. We have no control over, or
responsibility or liability for, their information or activities. Any
concerns regarding such other sites, or any link thereto, should be
directed to such particular outside site.
In addition, our privacy practices may differ from those
of these other sites. If you provide personal information at one of
those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of
that site, not the Art Deco Atelier Privacy Policy. Make sure you
understand any site's privacy policies before providing personal
information.
No Confidentiality
Except for information necessary to place an order, we do
not want to receive confidential or proprietary information or trade
secrets through this Website. Any information, materials, suggestions,
ideas or comments sent to us will be deemed non–confidential, and by
submitting it, you are granting us an irrevocable and unrestricted
license to use, modify, reproduce, transmit, display and distribute it
for any purpose whatsoever, with no payment or other compensation to
you. However, we will not use your name unless we are required by law to
identify the source of the materials, information, suggestions, ideas or
comments, or unless we first obtain your permission.
Online account registration
To make online shopping faster and easier, you may
register with the Website. When you register with us as an online

such as your favorite designs. As a registered customer, you only have
to enter your shipping addresses and billing information once; they will
be securely stored with us for your future use. Using your name and a
password of your choice, you may access your account online at any time
to add, delete, or change information.
We will provide you with the means to ensure that
personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct
and current. You may review this information by contacting us by sending
an email to a Customer Service member at ArtDecoAtelier.com.
If you are using a public computer, we strongly encourage
you to LOG OUT at the conclusion of your session. Your information will
still be stored with us but it will not be accessible to anyone else
from that computer.
