privacy policy

This privacy policy states how we handle your personal information for our services on the artgkirk website. You agree that we may process your personal data.

We will not pass your personal information to third parties without your consent.

We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, to enforce our policies, to respond to a claim that content infringes the rights of others, or to protect anyone's rights, property, or safety.

Without limiting the above, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other other government officials, or to other third parties without a court order, except when we believe that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorised access and disclosure but cannot guarantee that your personal information will always remain private.

We may amend this privacy policy at any time by posting the amended terms on this site. The amended terms take effect thirty days after they are posted.

cookies

This site uses cookies; if you use this site, you are using cookies. Cookies are small files which are stored on the computer you are using to access this web site. Cookies are used so that your session on this web site may be smooth and continuous; they are used to store (for example) selections you have made, options you have selected, and the data you have entered on a form (in case you make an error, so you don't have to re-enter everything on the form). This site does not work if you have cookies disabled. We believe our use of cookies is innocuous.

Where this site contains ads which are provided by third parties (eg: Google), such third parties may use cookies for similar purposes to ours, but we have no control over their use of cookies. If you do not wish to see ads from Google or use other Google services on this site, you should block Google at your firewall or via your 'hosts' file, or not use this site.

passwords

We do not store your password on this site or in its database.

When you enter your password, we encrypt it and then compare the encrypted form against the encrypted copy in the database. So, we do store your encrypted password in the database. But, we can't decrypt it, and we have no way of knowing your actual password. Even if our database were hacked, the hackers would not readily discover your password.
