We Take Privacy Serious

In addition to our direct collection of information, third parties, such as those we have an affiliate relationship with, and our payment provider, PayPal, who provides payment processing, may collect their own information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how any of these third parties, including PayPal uses such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they intend to use personal information provided to them from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them. Splattered Paint Marketing does not store or retain any personal or business financial, banking, credit or debit card information directly on our site.

Personally Identifiable Information about Authorized Customers may be shared with other Authorized Customers who wish to evaluate potential transactions with other Authorized Customers.

We provide Visitors and Authorized Customers with a mechanism to delete or to deactivate any Personally Identifiable Information from our database by contacting us directly . However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor’s entry immediately without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.
What happens if the Privacy Policy changes?
We will let our Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes to our Privacy Policy by posting such changes on the Site.
