Cookies, Web Beacons and Online Advertising
What Are Cookies? NikArtPhotography.com and its associates utilize small text files known as cookies (collectively referred to as "Cookies"). Cookies are miniature data pieces that we and our associates insert into your computer's browser to retain your preferences. While Cookies themselves do not personally identify you, they may be associated with Personal Information you provide to us during your online interactions. Typically, a Cookie includes the domain name (internet location) from which it originates, its "lifetime" (i.e., when it expires), and a value, often a randomly generated unique number.
How We Utilize Cookies Cookies are employed to enhance your online experience, such as by remembering your return visits and customizing the content to be more relevant to you. Additionally, Cookies enable us to monitor online purchases conducted through the NikArtPhotography.com online services.

SOCIAL NETWORKING AND THIRD PARTY SITES
When you sign in or connect with NikArtPhotography.com via any social networking service, like Facebook, any information you provide (or have provided) to us becomes subject to the privacy policy of that specific social network or service. We do not have authority over and bear no responsibility for the privacy procedures of these networks or services. We advise you to review the privacy policy of these networks or services.

SECURITY
We endeavor to implement sensible protective measures aimed at mitigating the risk of loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration of Personal Information acquired or gathered via the NikArtPhotography.com online services. Nevertheless, it's important to recognise that no system is flawless, and it cannot provide an absolute assurance against the possibility of unauthorised access or data breaches.
RETENTION OF INFORMATION
We do not store credit card or other payment details once a transaction concludes. This practice necessitates re-entering your information for each subsequent transaction but serves to minimise the potential for sensitive data to be accessed by unauthorised individuals. After the conclusion of any transactions involving you, we will maintain records of other transaction-related information (such as your purchase history). Unless you explicitly request the deletion of your information by reaching out to us, we may retain your data for backup, archival, legal, and audit purposes.
