We do not know your e-mail address unless you give it to us. We only record your e-mail address if you send us a message, either directly or by signing up or subscribing to our online AWS community opportunities.

How the AWS uses your information.
Your information choices.
Your obligations as a User.
Important information regarding service eligibility.
Personal information collected
AWS makes services available through our website and You Tube Channel to enable art enthusiasts and students of art to learn and connect and share or distribute information from our AWS community (“Services”).
By joining the AWS online community as a Subscriber, you voluntarily and willingly provide us certain information, including personally identifiable information, which we collect in order to provide our products and services.
If you have any hesitation about providing information to us and/or having your information displayed on the AWS website http://www.artwithsylvie.com or otherwise used in any manner permitted in this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, you should not become a Subscriber to the AWS online community; and, if you are already a member, you should email us and ask to be removed as a Subscriber.
Information provided via our AWS Website – http://www.artwithsylvie.com
Here are the most common ways in which a visitor directly provides information to our AWS Website or Facebook Page:
– Follower and Subscriber Information: When a visitor signs up to follow or subscribe, we collect the sign-up information requested by the Site, which typically includes an email address.
– Site Comments: When a visitor leaves a comment, we collect that comment, and other information that the visitor provides along with the comment, such as the visitor’s name and email address.
– Crowdsignal Survey Responses: When a visitor completes a poll, quiz, or other type of survey prepared by a User, we collect the visitor’s responses to those surveys, and other information that the survey owner requires for a poll/quiz/survey response, like an e-mail address.Order and Shipment Information: If a visitor orders a painting or work of art from AWS using our online AWS store and ecommerce features, we may collect information to process that order, such as credit card and billing information, and an address for shipping the package along to the recipient and calculating applicable taxes. We may also use this information for other purposes on behalf of our Users–for example, to send marketing and other communications from our Users to their customers, and to provide our User with analytics information about their ecommerce site (e.g., the number of orders from particular geographic areas).
Other Information Entered on the Site: We may also collect other information that a visitor enters on the AWS Site–such as a contact form submission, a search query, or Site registration.
A. SUBSCRIBER REGISTRATION
In order to become a AWS Subscriber, you must provide us the following information to create an account: name, email address, country, and password. Like other passwords, you should choose one that is known only by you. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by creating an account on the AWS website you allow the owners of AWS, to identify you. Providing additional information about yourself beyond what is minimally required at registration is entirely up to you, but providing additional information enables you to derive more benefit from AWS
Any information you provide may be used by AWS as described in this Privacy Policy, including for the purpose of serving advertisements through the service. If you decide not to share certain information, you may not receive the full benefit of being a AWS User or Subscriber.
B CONTACTS INFORMATION
You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about you to the AWS.
Information you provide to AWS via our online SHOP page to purchase paintings, is only viewable by you and AWS. By providing email addresses or other information to AWS you represent that you have authority to do so.
All information that you enter will be covered by this AWS Privacy Policy and will enable us to provide our products and services.
C. CUSTOMER SERVICE
We may collect information through the AWS website in order to, among other things, accurately categorise and respond to your inquiries and investigate breaches of our terms.
D. SITE USAGE
We may collect information about the fact that you use certain features and functionality of AWS, interact with third party Platform Applications, click on ads, or participate in research initiatives like polling and surveys.
E. COOKIES
Like most website, our AWS website uses cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends, to improve the quality of our service, to customise your experience with AWS. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us to recognise you as a User when you return to our AWS website using the same computer and web browser.
You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use our website or related sites. One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your AWS online account. The next time you visit the website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognise you as an existing User so you will not need to log in before using the Services. In order to access or change any of your private information (like a credit card number) or to send a message to another User, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer contains your persistent cookie. Another type of cookie, called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to AWS website. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser.
In the course of serving advertisements or optimising the Services to our Users, we may allow authorised third parties to place or recognise a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide general segment information (e.g., your industry or geography, or information about your background) for greater customisation of your User experience. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. AWS does not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies. AWS does not provide personally identifiable information to any third party ad network.
F. LOG FILES, IP ADDRESSES AND INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER AND OR MOBILE DEVICE
Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the AWS website we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave the website
AWS also receives the internet protocol (“IP”) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, mobile device operating system (if you are accessing the AWS website using a mobile device), as well as the name of your ISP or your mobile carrier. We use this information to analyse overall trends to help improve the service. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties without your permission.
How Long We Keep Visitor Information
If we are not legally required to keep it, we generally discard information about Site visitors when no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it on behalf of our Users — those purposes which are described in the “How We Use Visitor Information” section of this policy.
For example, we keep the web server logs that record information about a visitor to one of our User’s Sites — such as the visitor’s IP address, browser type, and operating system — for approximately 30 days. We retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, investigate issues if something goes wrong on a User’s Site.
As another example, when a Site visitor views your Site we use their IP address in order to update your Site Stats with information about their visit, like what country they are in. We keep that IP address for approximately 30 days to give us time to calculate your monthly Site Stats and address any issues with those counts
RIGHTS TO ACCESS, CORRECT AND ELIMINATE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
You have a right to access, modify, correct and eliminate the data you supplied to the AWS. If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented in this policy. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
