Privacy Policy

 

ArtCircus consider the protection of privacy to be vital.

We endeavour to consistently maintain the security of our website for all visitors and users. This policy outlines how ArtCircus collects and uses personal information.

Collected Information To help improve the service we provide through our website, certain information is collected from your browser to this website. This information is collected as statistical information and includes: IP address; browser type; language; and access times. This website also uses cookies (explained in next section) to track pages visited and information accessed within our website. This information is for statistical reference and site analysis only.

What is a cookie? A cookie is a small data file that may write to your hard disk when visiting a site. The cookie primarily contains a USER ID that aids in tracking. Cookies can also retain information that you supply to the website. This information assists in maintaining the continuity of your browsing session and access to full use of the website.
Cookies cannot read data from your hard disk or from other cookie files. They can be disabled via your browser, however this may limit your access to all functionalities of a website.

Website Security and SSL Our website has a SSL certificate attached to it. This means you can access a constant, secure connection on every page of our site. Through SSL, you can see a lock icon next to your URL in the browser, showing that their information is safe.

Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a technology that secures the connection between your browser and the ArtCircus website. To verify that SSL is protecting a page, look for a URL beginning with https://, instead of http://, and a green, closed padlock icon. This allows you to navigate our website and submit sensitive information through a secure connection. SSL provides three important security benefits:

  • Privacy: Encrypts the connection between the browser and web server and securely transmits information (like login credentials) to prevent unauthorised parties from eavesdropping;
  • Data integrity: Prevents unauthorized parties from altering data during transmission (like during a Form Block submission); and
  • Authentication: Protects against impersonation by requiring web server proof of identity.

  • name and email address for the purpose of subscribing to the release of emailed insights such as case studies and think papers etc;
  • name and email address for the purpose of subscribing to the release of roles and executive opportunities; and
  • name, email address, contact details and message for the purpose of assisting you with an enquiry to ArtCircus.

At any time you can opt out by clicking unsubscribe on the e-newsletter that you receive.
