Privacy Statement

Privacy Practices and Feedback

Welcome to this Web site, a service of THE FINISHING SOURCE, Inc..This statement discloses the privacy practices for this Web site, including an explanation of which personally identifiable information of yours is collected; the organization collecting the information; how the information is used; with whom the information may be shared; which choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information; the kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information; and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Questions regarding this statement should be directed to THE FINISHING SOURCE, INC through one of the feedback forms you will find on the Web site, or by sending a notice by U.S. Mail to THE FINISHING SOURCE, Inc., 2086 Faulkner Rd NE, Atlanta GA 30324., Attention: Director of Online Content.

Information Collection and Use

A special note about children: THE FINSHING SCHOOL does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen and does not wish to collect any such information. Federal law requires Web-site operators who collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen to first get parental consent, and children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else.

The information made available to THE FINISHING SOURCE falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to the Web site and (2) tracking information recorded as visitors navigate through the Web site.

To make use of some features on our Web site visitors need to register and to provide certain information as part of the registration process. We may ask, for example, for your name, e-mail address, and zip code, and we might request information on your interests in Faux finishing, faux finishing products, the arts, and the like. The information you supply will help us to offer you more personalized features, to tailor our Web site to your interests and make it more useful to you.

The more you tell us about yourself, the more value we can offer you. Supplying such information is entirely voluntary. But if you choose not to supply the information, we may be unable to provide you with the products and services we make available to other visitors to our Web site. And you will not be able to order selected products or services over our Web site unless you provide certain personally identifying information about yourself. When you submit any personally identifying information over this Web site, THE FINISHING SOURCE (i) will use the information for the purposes described at the time you submit it (for example, your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address provided while ordering one of our products or services will be used in connection with the processing and fulfillment of your order) and (ii) may use the information to contact you to make you aware of other products and services of interest. Of course, if you want to remain completely anonymous, you're still free to take advantage of the publicly available content on our Web site without registration.

To help make our site more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, randomly generated number that temporarily resides on your computer. The cookie itself doesn't actually identify the visitor, just the particular computer session that a visitor uses to access our Web site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself, we won't know who you are, even if we generate a cookie for your particular Web-site session. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply.

We use cookies to help us tailor our Web site to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service, and to remember certain choices you've made so you don't have to re-enter them. We may use cookies to track the pages on our Web site visited by our users, for example. We can build a better Web site if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our Web site.

Other Web Sites

To make our Web site more valuable to our visitors, we may offer some features in conjunction with other providers. Our Web site may also include links to other Web sites whose privacy policies we don't control. Once you leave our Web site (you can tell where you are by checking the address --known as a URL-- in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the Web site you're visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy policy of any of these Web sites via a link from the site's homepage, you should contact the Web site directly for more information.

Security

All information gathered on our Web site is stored within a THE FINISHING SOURCE-controlled database accessible only to THE FINISHING SOURCE and its specifically authorized contractors. However, as effective as any security measure implemented by THE FINISHING SOURCE may be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the complete security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. If you don't want us to know any particular information about you, don't include it in anything that you submit or post to this Web site.

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We may change this privacy statement from time to time. If we change this privacy statement at some point in the future, we'll post the changes on our Web site and by continuing to use the Web site after we post any changes, you accept and agree to this privacy statement, as modified. Of course, our use of information gathered while the current privacy statement is in effect will always be consistent with the current statement, even if we change that statement later.
