PRIVACY POLICY
|
FotoGraphic.net, Inc. ("FotoGraphic.net") is firmly committed to safeguarding the privacy of our customers. This page will inform you about our information-gathering and dissemination practices whether such information is obtained through the www.FotoGraphic.net Web site or through a partner's Web site.
Privacy Philosophy
FotoGraphic.net is committed to providing you with a safe and private environment in which you can upload, share, and print your photos. All of your photos are password-protected and are visible only to you unless you explicitly share them, or your password, with others. By e-mailing an invitation (e-mail link) to share your photos or posting your photos to a community viewing page on FotoGraphic.net, you give users the opportunity to view as well as buy prints from images you explicitly designate for sharing. However, those who have received your invitation can then forward links to your images for viewing by others. FotoGraphic.net does not share your images with anyone or provide information about your photos, unless you explicitly decide to do so, or unless required to do so to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental request, or judicial order. Please click here to review the FotoGraphic.net Terms of Service.
Your personal information is used to conduct business with you, to verify your identity as a registered FotoGraphic.net customer for access to the customer images, and for the delivery of prizes or other materials. Personal information may be rented, sold, or shared with partners or other businesses that may market their products to you. Customers will have the option to “opt out” of this arrangement as described below. However, FotoGraphic.net does not rent, sell, or share your e-mail address with anyone unless you explicitly give us permission to do so, or unless required to do so to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental request, or judicial order. Demographic information is used to personalize your experience at the site and may be used as part of aggregated data, such as for marketing, promotional and advertising purposes, for statistical analysis of user behavior, and for product development and content improvement.
FotoGraphic.net may change this Privacy Statement without notice from time to time. Please visit this page often for updates and changes. We will gain consent from our customers before using the information collected in a manner different from that stated at the time collected.
Below you can find our complete Privacy Statement. If you have any questions about privacy at FotoGraphic.net, please use this form.
What personally identifiable information does FotoGraphic.net collect from me and how is it used?
Information you explicitly provide
Order Forms
FotoGraphic.net uses online order forms to allow you to order prints and products from FotoGraphic.net. When you fill out order forms, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, mailing and e-mail addresses and financial information such as a credit card number and expiration date. We use this information to process your order and to notify you of your order status. Your e-mail address and financial information are used by FotoGraphic.net to conduct business with you and are not rented or sold to any other third party unless you explicitly give us permission to do so, or unless required to do so to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental request, or judicial order. It will be shared with those persons necessary to process your order. For example, your financial information may be shared with the financial institution that issued your credit card. In addition, customers will be notified by e-mail when their order is received and when their photographs are available online.
Shopping
FotoGraphic.net uses third-party vendors to fulfill orders for certain products and services sold on the FotoGraphic.net Web site. In the event the product or service you purchase is fulfilled by a third party, personal information such as your name, mailing and e-mail addresses and financial information such as a credit card number and expiration date will be shared with the third-party provider to process your order and to notify you of your order status. The third party provider may not use this information for any purpose other than to process your order and it will not be used for additional sales or solicitation by the third party, nor rented or sold to any other third party unless you explicitly give us permission to do so, or unless required to do so to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental request, or judicial order.
Registration Forms: E-mail Updates, Contests, and Surveys
FotoGraphic.net uses online registration forms for you to request services such as FotoGraphic.net e-mail updates, our newsletter, and for you to receive special offers, promotions, and to register for contests or sweepstakes. Subscription to our e-mail updates is optional and requires your consent. You can opt in or opt out of receiving e-mail updates at any time by following the simple procedure below. When you fill out the registration form you will also be asked to provide personal and/or demographic information such as your name, gender, address, and e-mail address so we can administer the program and, in the case of a contest or sweepstakes, verify eligibility and notify the winner. Submitting such personal information is entirely voluntary. The more information you provide (and the more accurate it is), the better we can serve you. This information is used to maintain your account at FotoGraphic.net and may be shared with our partners. For example, some customer surveys, special offers, promotions, or
contests may be sponsored by one or more of our partners. In those cases, the personal information you submit for the contest or survey may be shared with the sponsoring partner. Customers will have the option to “opt out” of this arrangement either at the time the information is collected, at the time the registration is confirmed, or by following the procedures described below.
We may also ask questions about your camera's make and model and your use of digital images.
Sometimes we use personal and/or demographic data to tailor your experience at our site, by showing you content and offers that we think you might be interested in based on the information you provided to us, and by displaying content and offers according to your preferences. Although we do not share personally identifiable information with our partners unless you have given us permission to do so, we may make aggregate statistical and demographic information available to select third party partners of FotoGraphic.net. Such statistical and demographic information does not personally identify you.
Wherever FotoGraphic.net asks you to provide personally identifiable information on the Web site, we make every effort to include a direct link to this Privacy Statement on that page.

If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and e-mail address.

Does FotoGraphic.net collect any information automatically and how is that information used?
Internet Protocol Address
We analyze Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in the aggregate for system administration purposes and to gather broad demographic information. We do not link IP addresses to your FotoGraphic.net User ID, with the following exception: when you place an order using our online checkout process we may record your computer's IP address along with your order to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this information with the financial institution that issued the credit card used to place an order, or with law enforcement authorities if we determine, or are notified, that the use of the credit card was fraudulent.
Affiliate ID
If you entered our site by clicking a link or banner ad on one of our affiliate Web sites, we will store the ID of the affiliate site in our database along with your FotoGraphic.net User ID. We do this to ensure that the affiliate receives proper credit for any subsequent order you might place. Your personally identifiable information will not be shared with any affiliate without your express consent.
Supplementation of Information
In order for FotoGraphic.net to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual’s preferences, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users with similar information from our partners or other companies to create a personalized user profile. When a user makes purchases from these partners or other companies, the partners or other companies may collect and share that purchase information with us so we can tailor the site to our users’ preferences.
Does this Privacy Statement extend beyond FotoGraphic.net to external links?

Are children eligible to use the Web site?
Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use our services and we ask that they do not submit any personal information to us. If you are under the age of 13, you can use this service only in conjunction with your parents or guardians. We strongly recommend that parents and guardians supervise their children’s use of the Web site. Although access to photographs is password-protected, children who obtain access to a personal password may have the ability to post or distribute personally identifiable scanned or uploaded photos, or may provide others with the ability to view or purchase such photographs by sending an e-mail invitation as described above.
What else should I know about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example, on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas – that information may be collected and used by others. If you post personal information online in a place that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, FotoGraphic.net cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any financial information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you send information online.
