How We aquire Information.
In the course of processing a payment transaction, we usually receive from the customer and our processing banks and services, information related to the transaction. This normally includes information about the payment that the consumer has furnished to us in placing an order and the status of the payment (approval, rejection, and other codes) from our processing banks and services. We acquire information from those who participate in our contests, subscribe to our newsletter, and various other promotional activities. Generally, this information includes contact information such as name, email, mailing addresses, and other appropriate information relating to the contest, newsletter, or activity. We also receive a web site usage report via independent audit which provides certain web site usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to www.car-art.net and its areas, very much like television and radio show ratings.

Nature of Information that We Acquire.
The personally-identifiable information we acquire in processing payment transactions varies according to the nature of the transaction and the status of the transaction. It may include the amount of the transaction, client's name, checking account number, billing address, shipping address, and other appropriate contact information. In order to provide estimates, we also acquire contact and project information. In addition to project specific data, this may include a potential client's name, company name, company address, and other appropriate contact information.

Website ratings reports
Our web site ratings reports provide certain web site usage information. This collective data helps us determine how much our clients and visitors use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. We acquire contact and other information from those participating into our contests and various promotional activities. This information may include contact information that may be used by the www.car-art.net High Performance Artist website or our business partners to contact our visitors about activities, events, products, services, special offers, or other subject matter that may be interesting to them. This information may include offers from third parties.

Security of Information.
We collect transaction and contact information via Phaistos Guestbook and emails to our scott@car-art.us address. We also use other security technology to prevent our information from being accessed by unauthorized persons including email accounts only accessable by the webmaster of www.car-art.us.

Access to Information by Our Employees.
Our personnel have access to some transaction information in order to respond to questions from our customers. We limit that access to the minimum information they require to be able to provide prompt, high quality service. In general, our employes do have access to our databases and records and they can only retrieve information about particular individual transactions and not about individual consumers.

Provision of Information to Others.
To perform our services, we must, of course, pass information about transactions to banks. From time to time, we may also provide third parties with aggregate information not linked to the confidential information of particular clients. Information acquired for awards, contests, newsletters, and other various promotional activities may be provided to third parties in order to offer you information, services, and/or products that may be interesting to you. We may provide statistical "ratings," contact information such as email and mailing addresses, and more general information which may be based upon collective web site usage by visitors and our business partners. We do this so they can understand how people use their areas and our site in order for them to assist us in providing you with the best possible information, services, and/or products.
