PUBLIC CONTENT
Some portions
of the ArtRealization.Com web site allow you to contribute ratings, comments,
reviews and other content to the site. This content is displayed publicly unless
you register and change your default configuration. The reviews and comments you
publish may be displayed with your member name. If other members choose to, they
can receive email notifications of your new public content or publish their own
comments to your reviews.
We may use the
public content to develop aggregate ratings, personalize site views and market
products. We may use your public content to personalize site views and identify
or feature popular members. For example, we may promote most popular or
highest-earning reviews and members. While we don’t expect to transfer the
complete review rating and web of trust database to others (except as discussed
in this policy), we use the database throughout our network and to generate
results for others.

ArtRealization.Com web site or one of its subsidiary features.
Anti-Spam
Policy.
Art Realization
does not tolerate spam. We do not send emails to anyone without permission, and
we do not sell or rent email addresses to any unauthorized third party. This
does not mean that we can prevent spam from happening on the Internet. If you
believe that you have received an unsolicited email from us, please contact our
Privacy Department and we will investigate.

enforce our User Agreement and take other actions otherwise permitted by law. If

unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.
Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not
promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private
