In general, the third-party vendors and service providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide for our business. For example, when you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, you consent to our collecting and using such personal information for that specific purpose, including by transmitting such information to our vendors (and their service providers) performing these services for our business.

  • Legal Compliance: We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law. We may therefore disclose personal information, usage data, message data, and any other information about you, if we deem that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process (such as a subpoena or court order), or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce the Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Eva Guerin Fine Art, its users or the public, as required or permitted by law.

  • Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

We share other information with our website analytics provider, Squarespace, to learn about site traffic and activity. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use or disclosure of other information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such other information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our sole discretion.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the personal information we collect. However, no data transmission over the internet, data storage on the internet, or data storage on business computer hard drives is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

Squarespace employs administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. These measures include the use of firewalls, network redundancies, and regular security testing. ​
