We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings.

Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamps. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Fine Arts Boutique does this in order to avoid fraudulent or unauthorized attempts to purchase our products. This is the only type of verifications that the Fine Arts Boutique performs.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to unrelated third parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
