Diane Hathcoat is committed to protecting your privacy. (Side note: Concerned about personal privacy, Diane had a shredder well before it was in vogue. Shredders are in vogue, right? We digress…)

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected across our website, dianehathcoat.com. We only ask for personal information when we need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent.

Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to: name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or preferences. This information is collected with your consent in the case that you have initiated communication, requested information (including newsletters and marketing), or engaged with Diane Hathcoat, including your use of our social media channels. We will then use this information to respond to your enquiry and communicate with you in the future.

General Information
We work hard to improve the quality of our website. To do this, we need data. Because privacy is important to us and to you, we take the smallest amount of data we can while providing our visitors with an enjoyable experience.
Log Data
When you visit our site, we collect log data that your browser sends us regarding your visit. Such information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, web browser type, the dates and times that you visit, the pages you view on our website, the time you spend on those pages, and other statistics.
Cookies
Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer but serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. We take your continued use of our site as consent. We only use cookies if your browser privacy settings allow it. These settings are in your control and can be changed. If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
Do Not Track Disclosures
Because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.
Embedded Content
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. You can read more about Vimeo’s policies regarding your data here: https://vimeo.com/privacy & https://vimeo.com/cookie_policy
Sharing of Data
We work with third parties in the provision of some of our services and it may be necessary for us to share your information with them in order to provide those services. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Backup and Management
We use a service which allows us to save and manage backups of this service on external servers. The backups may include source code and content as well as the personal data that you have provided through this service and which is outlined in this Privacy Policy. Our site communicates with the backup service provider over a secure SSL connection to obtain a credential (a ”token”). This token is then used to communicate with object storage servers which are part of the Amazon AWS platform, which is encrypted using server-side encryption (SSE).
Analytics
Google Analytics is a tool which monitors and analyzes traffic to our website and user behavior so that we can design the best user experience. In order to prepare reports on the use of our website, Google collects information including but not limited to how often users visit this site, the duration of their stay, and what pages they visit. No personally identifying information is collected. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Spam Protection
We use spam protection applications to analyze traffic on our website with the purpose of recognizing spam and bots and filtering spam from messages and content on our site. Google reCAPTCHA is a spam protection service provided by Google Inc. reCAPTCHA collects personal data in the form of cookies and usage data in service to its function. Processing of this data occurs in the United States and Google is a Privacy Shield participant. The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Additionally, we use Akismet to reduce spam. Akismet only collects the personal data needed to carry out its core function of protecting this site against spam. Information regarding Akismet’s handing of data can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy-notice/
Managing Contacts and Sending Messages
This type of service makes it possible to manage a database of contacts in order to communicate with the user. These services collect data including names and email addresses, as well as the date and time when the message was viewed by the user and when the user interacted with it, such as by clicking on links included in the message. We use MailChimp (The Rocket Science Group, LLC) to provide this service. Data processed by MailChimp occurs in the United States and MailChimp is a Privacy Shield participant.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. In order to protect the information that we receive from you through our website, we have implemented various security measures, including the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. What data we store, we’ll protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying use, or modification. For example, we store the personal data you provide on cloud-based or computer systems that have limited access and are in controlled facilities. However, please be aware that no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
Selling of Your Information
Diane Hathcoat does NOT sell your information. We are in the business of sharing and selling art, not data.
Links To Other Sites
Our service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. Because we have no control over the content and practices of these sites, we cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
