Notice to European Union Users
Expressive Soul Art's operations are located primarily in the United States. If you provide information to me, the information will be transferred out of the European Union (EU) and sent to the United States. (The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became operational on August 1, 2016. This framework protects the fundamental rights of anyone in the EU whose personal data is transferred to the United States for commercial purposes. It allows the free transfer of data to companies certified in the US under the Privacy Shield.)

Security
Expressive Soul Art takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected online and offline. Wherever I collect sensitive information (e.g., credit card information), that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to me. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the webpage's address.
While I use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, I also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
The computers and servers where I store personally identifiable information are kept securely. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of the user's personal information under my control. The company also uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to build users' trust and confidence in the internet and website use by providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and personal information. In addition, Expressive Soul Art is a licensee of Trustee.
