We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or through chat or social media.
This includes personal data you provide when you:

Third parties or publicly available sources. We may receive personal data about you from various types of third parties, including:
• Technical Data and/or Tracking Data from analytics providers, list services;

• Identity and Contact Data from form/data partners; and
• Data from any third parties who are permitted by law or have your permission to share your personal data with us, such as via social media or review sites. We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to.  

4. How and When We Use Your Personal Data
• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. For example, when you purchase our products, that’s a contract.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, when we carry out fraud screening as part of the check-out process.
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance. 
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than where the law requires it, for example in relation to sending certain direct marketing communications. Where our legal basis is consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
If you ever have any questions about this, all you have to do is ask. See How to Contact Artisanal Media LLC about privacy below.

5. Advertising, marketing and your communications preferences
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Tracking, Usage and Profile Data to form a picture of what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you and tell you about them. This is what we call direct marketing.
We may carry out direct marketing by email, phone, or social media post.
On our websites, we always try hard to make it really clear what we are doing and what communications you will be sent, whether it’s you deciding to sign up to the Artisanal Media LLC companies’ mailing lists or as part of creating an account or the purchase journey – and you have a right at any time to change your mind and opt out. The easiest way to opt out is to use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the communication.
Here’s some things we may do that may be specifically directed at you:
• promotional emails, for example call for entries, events or product sales;
• promotions by mail, such as call for entries;
Tracking Data, and in particular cookies, help us to deliver website and social advertising that we believe is most relevant to you and to potential new customers of Artisanal Media LLC companies.
Cookies can also tell us if you have seen a specific promotion, and how long it has been since you have seen it. This is helpful, because it means we can control the effectiveness of our communication and control the number of times people might be shown our message. Cookies also help us understand if you’ve opened a marketing email because we don’t want to send you things you don’t read.
As described above, we may use your Tracking Data to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

You can opt out of targeted advertising by using the links below:
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads
• Google: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/anonymous
• Bing: https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/policies/personalized-ads

If you want more information about Tracking Data, in particular cookies, see Cookies below.
Almost all the cookies that relate to advertising are part of third party online advertising networks. If you’d like to read about how you can control which adverts you see online, see Opt-Out programs established by the Digital Advertising Alliance (United States) http://optout.aboutads.info/, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
