Information Sharing and Disclosure
When you post a message, your username or alias is visible to other users. If you post personal
information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other
parties in return. SavvyArt Market may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under
special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the SavvyArt
Market Website User Agreement. SavvyArt Market may disclose personally identifiable information to
parties in compliance with SavvyArt Market's Policies, such as the delivery or pick up of artwork; also as
Savvy Designs in our sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events,
SavvyArt Market may disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email
address and company name.
SavvyArt Market may share aggregated demographic information with business partners. SavvyArt
Market is affiliated with a variety of businesses that work closely with us. These businesses may sell
items to you from the SavvyArt Market website. SavvyArt Market may also provide services or sell
products jointly with affiliated businesses. Due to the nature of SavvyArt Market's business model, when
3
an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, you will share customer information that is
related to such transaction with that affiliated business. SavvyArt Market employs other companies and
people to perform tasks on our behalf and needs to share your information with them to provide products
and services to you. Examples include but are not limited to fulfilling orders, handling billing disputes and
collections, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service. SavvyArt
Market will not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with nonaffiliated parties except as
specified in this Privacy Policy to provide products or services you have requested or when SavvyArt
Market has your permission.
It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal
activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of SavvyArt Market's Website User Agreement, as specified in this Privacy Policy or as
otherwise required by law.
In some cases, SavvyArt Market may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions,
customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. SavvyArt Market will
transfer information about you if SavvyArt Market is acquired by or merged with another company. In this
event, SavvyArt Market will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the SavvyArt Market
web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. As
part of the buying and selling process, you may obtain another SavvyArt Market user's email address,
shipping address and/or other information. Pursuant to SavvyArt Market's Website User Agreement, you
have a limited license to use this information. This information should only be used for SavvyArt Marketrelated
communications or for SavvyArt Market-facilitated transactions. SavvyArt Market has not granted
you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages.
Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the user, you are not licensed to add any
SavvyArt Market user to your email or physical mail list. Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect
your privacy and SavvyArt Market's ability to keep the community free from bad actors, SavvyArt Market
will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or
other third parties without a subpoena, court order, legal process, or substantially similar legal procedure,
except when SavvyArt Market believes in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to
protect SavvyArt Market's rights, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected
illegal activity.
Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and
disclosure of information SavvyArt Market collects from you. If you disclose your information to others,
whether they are Buyers/Renters or Sellers on SavvyArt Market or throughout the Internet, different rules
may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. SavvyArt Market does not
control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third
parties where applicable. SavvyArt Market is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other
websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the SavvyArt Market site. SavvyArt Market
encourages you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
