KLArt.co.uk (Karen Loughridge Fine Art) understands the value of your personal information and we respect your right to privacy. We are committed to maintaining your confidence and trust. This commitment includes protecting the personal information that we obtain from you:
1. Information We Collect Generally: Unless you provide information voluntarily, we will not collect any personal information about you when you visit http://www.klart.co.uk If we ask you to provide information that personally identifies you, our request to do so will be specific. If you register to receive our newsletters, or purchase items from our eShop, we will ask for personal information such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, phone number. Paypal administers all our payments on our behalf so we will never directly ask you for credit card information, nor do we have access to it. If we want you to provide additional information, we will explain why we need the additional information and how it will be used at the time of the request.
Email From You: You may email messages to us that will contain your screen name and email address along with any additional information you may wish to include in the text of your message. Third Parties: We may receive personal information from select third parties in order to fulfill orders for products, or to facilitate your receipt of one of our newsletters.

We will only provide such companies with the personal information that they need to deliver the service that we have requested of them. They are prohibited from using the personal information that we provide to them for any other purpose and we make reasonable efforts to ensure that all third parties with whom we share personal information undertake to adhere to this Policy. We do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties, unless you have granted us permission to do so. We may disclose or use your personal information when we, in good faith, believe that either the law requires us to do so or such action is necessary to protect or defend KL Art (Karen Loughridge Fine Art)’s rights or property.

We keep the personal information collected through our website as long as it is required to service your request, or until you request its deletion. We retain aggregated information collected about your visit to our website (ie. browser type, domain name, pages visited) until we have completed our review and analysis of this information.
