This Art in Action (AinA) website is designed to help people find information about Art in Action and participate in a variety of art-related services. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. Any personal information provided to AinA is collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the UK Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, and other applicable legislation.

What is Personal Information?
Personal information is recorded information about an identifiable individual, including their name, address, e-mail address, phone number and credit card information. It does not include business contact information. When AinA collects personal information, we identify:

• the purpose for collecting the personal information
• the legal authority for collecting it
• the title, business phone number, business address and e-mail address of an employee who can answer questions you may have about the collection of information.

What Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It
When someone visits our web site, our web server automatically collects a limited amount of standard information essential to the operation, security and evaluation of the AinA web site. This information helps us to make our site more useful to visitors and includes:

• the Internet domain and Internet Protocol (IP) address from computers that access our web site
• the type of browser and operating system used to access our site
• the date and time our site is accessed
• the pages visited
• the address of any external web sites linked to
• any content downloaded from our site

While some of this information (e.g. browser type and operating system) does not identify who people are, other information, such as Internet domain names or the IP addresses of internet service providers, may provide identification. The extent of personal identification depends on the 'naming standards' followed by the internet service provider. You may wish to check with your provider to inquire about their policies and practices in this regard. AinA does not use this information to identify individuals who visit our website unless required to do so as part of an internal investigation or other law enforcement purpose.

Remember that there is always an option of whether or not to provide us with personal information. Your decision not to participate in electronic service delivery activities will not impair your ability to browse our web site. However, it may limit the use of certain website features. The personal information provided to us is only used for the purpose for which it was collected, or for a use consistent with that purpose. For example, personal information may only be used to: send you information about Art in Action that we believe will be of interest (based on a confidential personal profile); contact you about upcoming events and shows; respond to inquiries; provide requested materials; obtain feedback on your experiences; or assist you with the use of our web site. In most cases, we try to obtain explicit consent before these activities will occur. At any time, anyone may request that we stop communicating by either updating their user profile or contacting us.

In certain circumstances, we may need to provide personal information to our service providers in order to facilitate the operation of our website or processing of payment transactions. Before any personal information is disclosed, all recipient organizations must agree to protect the privacy of personal information in a manner consistent with our policy, and in compliance with the UK's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
