The following Statement sets-out how MacedoniArt will deal with personal information related to the content and use of its website.
Collection of general information
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the specific identification of a computer. We will use the IP addresses of visitors to our website and track their sessions, in order to administer it, to diagnose problems, and to use the information for statistical purposes, eg. numbers and frequency of visitors to the website.
When you visit our website to read pages or download information, the following information is automatically collected - your server address, top-level domain name (eg .com, .gov, .au, etc), the date and time of the visit, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous referring site visited and the type of browser used. No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities except in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect the Internet Service Provider's logs.
This site visit data is anonymous information, aggregated for analysis, with identifiable characteristics removed, which may be provided to other parties.
For security reasons, we use software programmes to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. It is a criminal offence to interfere with computers or data.
Collection of personal information
MacedoniArt collects personal information (name, email address or postal address) when you provide it to receive any of our specific services and stores it in our secure databases. The information will be used only for its intended or directly-related purposes, as stated on the pages or forms where you submit it, and will not be added to a mailing list, unless this is the purpose for which you have provided the information. The information you provide will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.
Certain personal information may be required (eg. name, email address, billing address, credit card number), in order to provide a service or product to you. This information may also be used to inform you of additional related artworks and services which may interest you. You can choose not to receive such information.
If you subscribe your name to our newsletter to say that you would like to receive information on our catalogue updates, events and activities, your personal information will be added to our mailing list.
