Some countries require that companies only process your “Personal Data” (as that term is defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation) if they have a “legal basis” (or justifiable need) for processing your Personal Data. To the extent those laws apply, our legal bases for processing Personal Data are as follows:





To collect the information in the “Information We Automatically Collect” section above, we and our service providers use Internet server logs, cookies, tags, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies. We use these technologies in order to offer you a more tailored experience in the future by understanding and remembering your particular browsing preferences.

A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, and it enables us to: (i) recognize your computer; (ii) store your preferences and settings; (iii) understand the web pages of the Services you have visited; (iv), enhance your user experience by delivering and measuring the effectiveness of content and advertising tailored to your interests; (v) perform searches and analytics; and (vi) assist with security and administrative functions. Cookies are placed in your browser cache. Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads, and/or email that are designed to: (i) collect usage information like ad impressions or clicks and email open rates; (ii) measure popularity of the Services and associated advertising; and (iii) access user cookies. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather information through other methods.



We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.

If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.



We and our service providers will share your information in the following ways:



From time to time, Poemusart may share aggregate or anonymous information about use of the Services, such as by publishing a report on usage trends. We may share or disclose such aggregate or anonymous information freely at our discretion.



We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.





If we send you marketing email messages, they will include instructions about how to unsubscribe, which you can use to limit or stop those communications. Opt-out processes may take some time to complete, but we will work to meet your request as quickly as possible. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional messages from us, we will continue to send you transactional and operational emails, such as order confirmations, information about updates to our policies and practices, or other communications regarding our relationship or transactions with you.


The law of your jurisdiction (for example, within the European Economic Area (“EEA”)) may give you additional rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain Personal Data we handle. In some cases, you may be entitled to receive a copy of the Personal Data in portable form or to request that we share it with a third party. The law may also give you the right to request restrictions on the use of your Personal Data, to object to our use of your Personal Data, or to withdraw your consent to use your Personal Data. You can exercise these rights by emailing us at [email protected].

You may contact us with any concerns or complaints regarding our privacy practices, and you also may submit a complaint to the relevant governmental authority.

We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period stated by applicable law. Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests in some circumstances, which may include if we need to keep processing your information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation. As required or permitted by applicable law, we may request that you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity or otherwise verify your request before responding.


The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.


The Services may contain links to third-party websites and third-party plug-ins and may allow you to integrate with third-party services. If you choose to use these websites, features, or plug-ins, you may disclose your information not just to those third parties, but also to their users and the public more generally depending on how their services function.

Poemusart is not responsible for the content or practices of such third-party websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.




The Services are intended for general audiences and not for children. If we become aware that we have collected “personal information” (as defined by the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible. We also do not knowingly process Personal Data of EU residents under the age of 16 without parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected data from an EU resident under the age of 16 without parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible. We also comply with other age restrictions and requirements in accordance with applicable local laws.




Please note that in providing services to you, Poemusart is located in the United States and processes your data in the United States. In addition, Poemusart may subcontract the processing of your data to, or otherwise share your data with, service providers and trusted business partners in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, in accordance with applicable law. Such third parties may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of Services to you, the processing of transactions, and/or the provision of support services. By providing us with your information, you acknowledge any such transfer, storage, or use.

Please note that Poemusart does not require users to submit any special categories of data about themselves, including information about race, religion, political preferences, or other potentially sensitive subjects (as further described in Article 9 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation).

However, it is possible that your activity within the Services could result in you disclosing such information about yourself voluntarily. Examples include uploading a photo of yourself (which may divulge information about your race). We make no effort to infer any information about you based on such activity in Poemusart, and by voluntarily choosing to submit such data, you give your explicit consent to this data being submitted to the Services.




We take measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. However, no method of transmission over the internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure. By using our Services, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to, through, or on our Services and that any such transmission is at your own risk.




We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will make the revised Privacy Policy accessible through the Services, so you should review the Policy periodically. You can know if the Privacy Policy has changed since the last time you reviewed it by checking the “Effective Date” at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy, we will provide you with notice in accordance with legal requirements. By continuing to use the Services, you are confirming that you have read and understood the latest version of this Privacy Policy.
