Artsavvy

Artsavvy was built primarily to create a mutually beneficial relationship between Artists and Art appreciators, where Art Appreciators can find good art quickly, and within their price range, and where artists can quickly locate buyers and showcase their talents. Artsavvy understands you may not want to share your personal information with everyone in the world; that is why we allow you to include whatever personal information you want to include (So it is up to you, to include only the information you would like the rest of the world to have access to).

Artsavvy follows to core principles

1. You should have control over your personal information.
Artsavvy helps you share information with other users of Artsavvy, which includes but is not limited to businesses, artists, and art appreciators. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and personal information, pictures, and anything else you choose to include in your profile. And you control the users with whom you share that information with when you decide to include that information in your profile

2. You should have access to the information others want to share.
There is an increasing amount of information available out there, and in order to connect artists and art appreciators easily, you may want others to have access to your information and vice versa. Sharing information should be easy. And we want to provide you with the privacy tools necessary to control how and with whom you share that information. If you have questions or ideas, please send them to privacy@Artsavvy.com.

Use of Information Obtained by Artsavvy

When you register with Artsavvy, you create your own profile and include in your profile, only the information you choose to include. Your profile information, as well as your name, and any other information you chose to include in your profile, are displayed to users on Artsavvy and enable you to connect with people on Artsavvy. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Artsavvy that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by Artsavvy primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service.

Profile information you submit to Artsavvy will be available to users of Artsavvy.. Your name and your profile information will be across the Artsavvy network and those pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so people can easily find the type of musician, business, or entertainment seeker they are trying to reach. People who see your name in searches, however, will only be able to see the profile information that you have voluntarily provided.

Artsavvy may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if someone sends you a message, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails, though Artsavvy reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Artsavvy may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or venue and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you Artsavvy. We believe this benefits you. For example, if you put a favorite venue in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting an event at that venue in your area. But we don't tell that same company who you are.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to forums, articles, music blogs, and other users of Artsavvy, to supplement your profile.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

Artsavvy is about sharing information with others Ñ friends, musicians, businesses, entertainment seekers Ñ while providing you with the ability to include only the information you want others to have access to, you can restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to other users through Artsavvy. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:

• We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Artsavvy, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Artsavvy-specified purposes.
• We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Artsavvy service or using the Tunesavy name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
• We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through on-site offers.
• We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on Artsavvy. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided on Artsavvy, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.
• If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Artsavvy business, or individual business units owned by Artsavvy, Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use Artsavvy, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g., a user of Artsavvy), such as personal information, reviews, messages, photos, videos, may be shared with other users. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk.
