Your right to privacy is very
important. We understand that when you choose to provide us with
information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible manner.
We believe this information should only be used to help us provide you
with better service. That's why we have put a policy in place to protect
your personal information. Below is a summary of our policy.
What personal information do we collect?
In general, when you visit our website and access information you remain
anonymous. When we ask you for information, it will be clear how this
information is to be used. We will not provide any of your personal
information to other companies or individuals without your permission.
This includes, but is not limited to, e-mail and physical addresses.
The only situation where we will ask for personal information is in
conjunction with the e-commerce portion of our site. We only ask for
information necessary to complete the sales transaction via Internet.
Protecting your privacy
We will take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. Whenever you
provide sensitive information (for example, a credit card number to make a
purchase), we will take reasonable steps to protect it, such as encrypting
your card number. We will also take reasonable security measures to
protect your personal information in storage. Credit card numbers are
used only for payment processing and are not retained for marketing
purposes.
We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies
or individuals without your permission. However, we may need to provide
your name and delivery address to third parties that Bluewinggallery.com uses for
the purpose of delivering items specifically ordered by you or on your
behalf.
Our website may provide links to third party sites. Since we do not
control those websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of
these third party sites.
How can you update the personal information you have provided to
Bluewinggallery.com?
You can help Bluewinggallery.com maintain the
accuracy of your information by notifying Bluewinggallery.com of any changes to your address (billing or shipping),
phone number or e-mail address. You may do this online when you place an
order or through customer support by contacting us directly.

www.Bluewinggallery.com. Bluewinggallery.com collects information from our users
at several different points on our Web site.

password. This information is used to contact the user about the services
on our site for which they have expressed interest.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form, where a user must
provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address)
and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to
contact the user.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive tied to
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session
ID cookies as well as persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once
users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by
setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the
cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the
user will be limited in some areas of our site. Persistent cookies enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our site.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider
(ISP) , referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number
of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in
the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Generally, log files are not linked to personally identifiable
information. However, IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable
information on sales transactions only. This is to prevent fraudulent
transactions.
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email. Established members will
occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and
a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the
option to not receive these types of communications. Please contact us to
let us know that you wish not to receive any emails from us.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or
phone, in accordance with the users wishes.

Legal Disclaimer

disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current
judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web
site.
Third Party Advertisers
At the present time, Bluewinggallery.com does not have third party
advertisers. However, the user has the ability to opt in or opt put of
receiving special offers from third party advertisers.
These are the instances in which we will share users' personal
information: We DO NOT Share Personal Information with Third Parties
for unrelated purposes.
Third Party Intermediaries However, we use outside shipping
companies such as UPS, FEDEX, and USPS to ship orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies
do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for
any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event Blue Wing Gallery (Bluewinggallery.com) goes through a
business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company,
or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in
most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified
via [email] [prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days] prior to a
change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a
result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable
information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the
time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our
notification of changes section.

communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying

cust.serv@Bluewinggallery.com.

Users of our site are always notified when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services
that require an outside party.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. The requested information typically includes contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify
the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes
of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users'
personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties
unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary
to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and
email address. Bluewinggallery.com will automatically send the friend a

Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their
information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number that information is encrypted and
is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are
just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All
of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted to key personal in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. All data is password protected.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable
information are in a secure environment, in a locked facility.
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users
can send an email to mailto:cust.serv@Bluewinggallery.com
Supplementation of Information In order for this Web site to
properly fulfill its obligation to users it is necessary for us to
supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party
sources.

consumer's protection.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code,
phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our
service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users'
personally identifiable information. This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support

Notification of Changes

this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our users
are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to
whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However,
if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or
deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor
will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition,
if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not
affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a
prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In some
cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to
receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our
privacy practices.
