Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

By accessing our site (www.koolartists.com) you agree to the privacy policy and terms of use of this website. For clarification purposes the terms “we” or “us” imply our ownership over this domain/online store. We respect the privacy of all users of the Site and Services, and unless otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy or in any applicable Terms of Use, disclaimer or legal statement related to the Site, and/or Services, we will not release your private, password protected Personal Information without your permission, except as necessary to perform the Services.

1. Personal Information

Personal Information is unique information that identifies you. Personal Information includes information such as your name, email address, and/or telephone number. The personally identifiable information may include your profile account at Facebook website. All these personal information data will remain private and not publicly available on the Site.  

We will also ask you for financial information for payment purposes, including, but not limited to your billing name, billing address, shipping address, credit, debit, bank card or PayPal account information; or any other information that we, in our sole discretion, or, in case is requested by our third party payment processor deem appropriate for payment processing. However we will not store your Payment Information on our database.  Once you provide us with your Payment Information to us, we will forward the information to our third party payment processor, who will only use your Payment Information to process your payment of the ordered products. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. We encourage our customers to keep a copy of your transactions with our company.

Certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

You can review and update your private, password protected Personal Information and Payment Information that you provide us in your user account.  Please be aware that even after your request for a change to your Personal Information is processed, we may, for a time, retain residual information about you in backup and/or archival copies in our database.  Additionally, you can also close your user account through the Site. If you close your Registered Account, we will remove your private, password protected Personal Information from our database. At that point we will delete ALL your information from our database.
Email marketing: With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.

2. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, we will not disclose private, confidential Personal Information to any third-party unless we believe that disclosure is necessary to: (i) comply with the law, conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other legal process received by us, whether or not a response is required by applicable law; (ii) enforce the Agreement or to protect our rights, property and interests (or of an Affiliate); or (iii) protect the safety of members of the public and Users.

In addition, we disclose information to companies and individuals we employ or contract with to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include, but are not limited to, hosting our web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and processing payments for the ordered products. These companies and individuals will only have access to your Personal Information as necessary to perform their functions, but they do not share that information with any other third party.

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service. We reserve the right to transfer or disclose your Personal Information to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of (i) the sale of the website; (ii) a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets; or (iii) a transfer of the Site and/or the Service.

4. Protecting Your Personal Information

We diligently make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on its servers by using industry standard security technology, such as encryption and firewalls on both our main and backup servers. Unfortunately, information transmitted via the Internet is not completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. We expressly disclaim any liability for any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all Personal Information stored therein, and you agree to hold us harmless for any loss or damages that may result therefrom.
