Complete Privacy Policy
This

identifiable information (“Personal Information”) when you or others access
PhobooksNow’s website or when you use PhotobooksNow’s software or other

sometimes works with outside companies in providing services to
you. This Privacy Policy does not apply to
any other companies or websites that PhotobooksNow does not own or control or
to anyone not employed or managed by PhotobooksNow.
Those companies may have their own policies concerning Personal
Information and we suggest that you review those policies
carefully.
Protecting
your Personal Information is very important to
PhotobooksNow. We will not sell, rent, or share
your Personal Information to/with others, except as described in the Policy or

Types of Information Collected
A.
Information Collected From You
PhotobooksNow collects a limited amount of personal
information from users, like yourself, such as your name, billing and shipping
information, contact information such as an e-mail address or telephone
number. We collect this information to provide
prompt and personal services to you and all of our
customers. In addition, we may collect
information such as your gender, date of birth, and personal preferences
regarding our services in order to conduct research, provide you with useful
promotional materials or service updates, and to improve our ability to serve
you and other customers. We also collect any
photos, images, text, or other content you submit to us in connection with an
order you place with us. It is not our typical
practice to store and maintain this information.
However, we retain the right to do so when necessary to comply with any
law, comply with our Terms of Service or Licensing Agreement, protect the
privacy, security, or property of ourselves or others, including fraud
protection and credit risk reduction.
We
may collect and store Personal Information from you should you decide to
register and create an account with us.
Collecting this information is a necessary part for performing some of
our services and may help make future experiences in using our services more
fluid and personal.
You have the option of not providing us with certain
information, but you must understand that, in not doing so, some services such
as notification of order status, sales promotions, and recognition of your
personal preferences may not be available to you.
When
you use the PhotobooksNow software, your photo books, posters, greeting cards,
post cards, and any other content is viewable only by
you. PhotobooksNow works with an outside company
to enable you to share your content with others if you choose to do
so. PhotobooksNow has no control over this
company and therefore assumes no responsibility for its
practices. You should keep in mind that you and
you alone are responsible for any and all consequences of sharing your content
with others,
including the possibility that those you share your content with will save it,
copy it, and/or redistribute it to
others.
PhotobooksNow makes no guarantees or warranties over the protection of
any of your content. For more information on
this, please review the Terms of Use and Licensing Agreement before using any
of PhotobooksNow’s services.
B.
Information Collected Automatically
PhotobooksNow
may automatically collect and store information about your use of our services
such as your User ID, IP address, the time and date of access, the types of
services requested, the size of the content submitted, and features
utilized. The purpose of collecting this
information is to improve our ability to deliver our services, to monitor
potential abuse of our services, or investigate possible violations of the
Terms of Use or the Licensing Agreement. This
information is for our use only and will not be shared with others in a way
that can identify you as an individual unless we have your
permission. We may need to ascertain you IP
address in providing some of our services, if for example, our support staff
needs to identify and correct a problem that is local to your
computer. PhotobooksNow may also make limited
use of “cookies,” or files saved onto your computer, to enable our servers to
recognize your preferences or login information the next time you visit our
website. It is important to understand that
cookies only record information you have already provided to us
voluntarily. PhotobooksNow only uses cookies for
your convenience, so you do not have to repeatedly re-enter information
already provided to us.
You should keep in mind that there may be banner
advertisements from other companies that PhotobooksNow does not
control. These companies may utilize cookies as
well. If you decide to click on an
advertisement, PhotobooksNow has no knowledge and accepts no responsibility
for your decision to do so. You accept all
responsibility for opening an advertisement.
You should also be aware that you may use your web browser to
limit the use of cookies or to not use them altogether.
If you do that, this may limit some of the services or features
available on the PhotobooksNow website.
In addition, PhotobooksNow collects information regarding
access and usage of our website and services.
PhotobooksNow uses this information for statistical purposes only, to
assist us in determining how and when users like yourself utilize our
services. Again, the purpose of collecting this
information is to improve our ability to deliver our
services. With this goal in mind, we may provide
some of these statistics to others about how users utilize our website and
services collectively. This does not include any
information that can be used to identify you or other users individually.
C.
Employees, Agents, Affiliates, and Successors
Any content you submit may be seen by employees or agents of
PhotobooksNow as necessary to perform our services, address any problems
concerning your account or order, comply with applicable law, or protect the
rights of PhotobooksNow or others. PhotobooksNow
will comply with any legal requirements it has to allow an appropriate law
enforcement agency to view your content as necessary.
As a practice, PhotobooksNow does not typically store or otherwise
monitor the content submitted with any order or request for services, but we
reserve the right to do so if necessary to enforce the terms of this Privacy
Policy, our Terms of Service, Licensing Agreement, or any applicable
law.
When accessing our website, you may come in contact with
other companies we affiliate with in providing our
services. For example, we may affiliate with
companies that specialize in conducting Internet financial transactions or
shipping. It may be necessary for us to provide
a limited amount of your information to our affiliates and their agents only
to the extent necessary to perform our services
If PhotobooksNow becomes involved in a merger or an
acquisition of some or all of its assets, any successor of PhotobooksNow may
need access to information from you, in the same manner as PhotobooksNow does,
in order to continue providing you with services.
If your Personal Information is transferred as part of this process, we
will attempt to contact you beforehand through any contact information you
have provided us.
3.
PhotobooksNow E-mail Communications
You
may occasionally receive e-mail from PhotobooksNow.
If you open an e-mail sent by PhotobooksNow, we may get a
confirmation. This allows us to make future
communications more useful to you, including limiting e-mail to only those
messages you are interested in receiving. If you
want to limit the type of e-mail or other communications from us, please
contact us at inquire@photobooksnow.com.
4.
Security Measures
PhotobooksNow
takes care in protecting information we acquire from users by using databases
protected by password security technology. We
also employ Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect
information transfers and communications with you.
In addition, our network is secured via an active
firewall. This technology helps to prevent
unauthorized people from accessing the information we collect and the
communications we send. We take security of
information and maintenance of privacy very seriously, but we cannot say or
warrant with certainty that the information transmitted over the Internet will
be secure. For that reason, we encourage all
users to take their own steps in protecting the privacy of their
information.
PhotobooksNow
works with outside e-commerce companies to secure our Internet financial
transactions such as billing and payment. Those
companies utilize secure pages encrypted by the SSL
protocol. As mentioned above, these companies
will only receive as much information as is necessary to process the financial
transaction.
5.
Law Enforcement
PhotobooksNow will release Personal Information if we have a
good faith belief that it is necessary to comply with any law, comply with our
Terms of Service or Licensing Agreement, protect the privacy, security, or
property of ourselves or others, including fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.
In
all other circumstances, we will inform you when we plan on sharing Personal
Information with others and you will have the opportunity to decide whether
you want to share your information.
6.
User Access to Information
You
may request to view certain Personal Information we have collected from you
for purposes such as verifying accuracy, updating our records, and requesting
removal of information that we are not legally obligated to maintain or is not
required as part of delivering our services to you.
We reserve the right to decline your request if it requires us to do
something that is illegal or impracticable, or if it hinders in delivering our
services. For example, unreasonably repetitive
requests or requests that require a substantial effort from our employees or
servers may not be accommodated.
