We may use the information we collect in conjunction with analytic tools to help us determine the level of services and products we offer, improve the ease of use of our sites or services (such as by remembering information you have already entered), enhance our customer service, and to display content that can be tailored to specific customer interests, preferences and/or market segments.

The personal information collected on The Art Director's website may also be used to directly communicate with you. Your e-mail, mailing and/or billing address may be used for welcome letters, order confirmation, upload confirmation, job status updates, billing information and reminders, and technical service issues.

Some personally identifiable information that you provide to The Art Director must necessarily be disclosed outside of The Art Director in order for us to provide our services to you. For example, to ship an order we must disclose the shipping information required by the carrier. The Art Director may also retain third parties to provided limited services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, programming development, transaction processing, or performing statistical analysis of our service offerings. Under certain circumstances, these third party companies may need or be given access to personally identifiable information in order to deliver their services to The Art Director.

Circumstances may arise when, for business purposes, The Art Director may decide to sell, merge, acquire or otherwise reorganize its business. Any such transaction may involve the disclosure and/or receipt of personally identifiable information to or from a prospective buyer, seller, merger partner, etc. For these types of transactions, The Art Director will seek appropriate protection for any personally identifiable information subject to disclosure.
