We hope that you will find our Site informative and useful for its specified purposes.
Please take a moment to review our Privacy Policy in detail. In brief, however:
We collect personal information (sometimes referred to as "personally identifiable information" or "PII") from our online visitors on a voluntary basis and only to create or enhance our relationship with them. We may collect PII from you in connection with your request for information about us. The personally identifiable information we collect is usually your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number and/or mailing address.
The personal information we collect is sent to us voluntarily by you (self-initiated) through Internet forms, mail, telephone and e-mail correspondence. In addition, certain sections of the Site may use "cookies." Cookies are very small data files left on your computer by the Site. These files can then be accessed by the Site in the future. On their own, cookies do not contain or reveal any personal information. However, if you choose to furnish us with personal information, this information can be linked to the data stored in the cookies. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies, but they will also allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. You should refer to your browser instructions or "Help" screen to learn more about how to manage cookies.

If you would like more information about cookies and how to control and delete cookies in various browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome, please click here www.aboutcookies.org.
Like most standard websites, 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 our website, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personal information.
As stated above, we collect PII to create or enhance our relationship with you, including, without limitation, to respond to your questions or comments, to e-mail you with updates and news and/or to send out information regarding Bekris Gallery. Only those who expressly ask to receive such information online or offline will get it. We do not sell any information to third parties. We occasionally disclose nonpublic personal information about you to affiliates and nonaffiliates as permitted by law. Some instances when we have shared information include:
When information is shared with third parties, they are not permitted to use the information for any purpose other than to assist our servicing of your account or as permitted by law.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law if 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 the Site or Bekris Gallery.
The Site may from time to time contain links to third party web sites. You should always check the privacy policy of any linked web site to understand its personal information collection practices, including how it may use cookies.

In the event that Bekris or the Site is sold or transferred, or in the event that substantially all of our assets are sold or transferred to a third party, the Site and any personally identifiable information collected by us, will be among the transferred assets. By using the Site, you hereby agree to such transfer or assignment of your personal information collected by us, and you further waive any claims that could be made against us in relation thereto.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard your PII in our possession against loss, theft, and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, we also use reasonable methods to make sure that your PII is protected in accordance with state and federal privacy regulations.
