Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At
chineseartbrushes.com, we want to make your experience
online satisfying and safe. If you have any questions
regarding our Privacy policy we can be reached by email
via the form on our
Contact Us page. Because we gather certain types of
information about our users, we feel you should fully

surrounding the capture and use of that information.
This privacy statement discloses what information we
gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION CHINESEARTBRUSHES.COM
GATHERS AND TRACKS
chineseartbrushes.com gathers two types of
information about users:
- Information that users provide through optional,
voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions
to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
in our message boards or forums, to email a friend,
and from participation in polls and surveys:
- Information chineseartbrushes.com gathers through
aggregated tracking information derived mainly by
tallying page views throughout our sites. This
information allows us to better tailor our content to
users' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors
better understand the demographics of our audience.
Because chineseartbrushes.com may derive revenue from
sponsorships and advertising, providing such
aggregated demographic data is essential. Under no
circumstances does chineseartbrushes.com divulge any
information about an individual user to a third party.
chineseartbrushes.com Gathers User
Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following services, which may require
some type of voluntary submission of personal
information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters policy
(Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users.
chineseartbrushes.com gathers the email addresses of
users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove
themselves from this mailing list by following the link
provided in every newsletter that points users to the
subscription management page. Users can also subscribe
to the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Membership policy
During registration the user is required to supply a
username, password, email address and other personal
details, though this information is NEVER shared with
any other entity or used for any purpose other than that
for which you have agreed to during signup.
3. "Tell a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a
link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their
email address, as well as that of the recipient. This
information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who
sent the email. The information is not used for any
other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can
easily share their opinions with other users and see
what our audience thinks about products, services or new
additions to our site. Opinions or other responses to
polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any
particular user. chineseartbrushes.com may use a system
to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote
only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
chineseartbrushes.com may occasionally conduct user
surveys to better target our content to our audience. We
sometimes share the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and
partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from anyone
under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
chineseartbrushes.com tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual
users. chineseartbrushes.com does break down overall
usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information
from the browser string (information contained in every
user's browser).
chineseartbrushes.com sometimes tracks and catalogs
the search terms that users enter in our Search
function, but this tracking is never associated with
individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a
better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the
browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does
not contain Personal Information although it will enable
us to relate your use of this site to information that
you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is
information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read
data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by
other sites. chineseartbrushes.com uses cookies to track
user traffic patterns (as described above). Our
advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better
track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message
with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned
on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to
make a purchase and participate actively in message
boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
chineseartbrushes.com uses any information
voluntarily given by our users to enhance their
experience in our network of sites, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests of
our users.
As stated above, we use information that users
voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic
newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls,
surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
(depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out
special editions when we think subscribers might be
particularly interested in something we are doing.
chineseartbrushes.com never shares newsletter mailing
lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you. We track search terms entered in Search
function as one of many measures of what interests our
users. But we don't track which terms a particular user
enters.
chineseartbrushes.com creates aggregate reports on
user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers,
sponsors and partners. This allows us and our
advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows
our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent
to their needs. Because we don't track the usage
patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor
will never know that a specific user clicked their ad.
We will not disclose any information about any
individual user except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of
our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
chineseartbrushes.com uses the above-described
information to tailor our content to suit your needs and
when applicable help our advertisers better understand
our audience's demographics. This is essential to
providing our visitors with the best possible service.

with any third party, except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY

protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies
are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and
only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY

practical. Such choices include:
- Opting not to register to receive our
electronic newsletters.
