What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with
two types of information: personal information you
knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on
an individual basis and Web site use information collected
on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our
Web site.
1. Personal Information You
Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from
us or our partners, you may need to give personal
information and authorization to obtain information
from various credit services. For example, you may
need to provide the following information:
Name
Mailing address
Email address
Credit card number
Home and business phone number
Other personal information (i.e. mother’s maiden name)
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to
our partners, if you choose to correspond further with
us through email, we may retain the content of your
email messages together with your email address and
our responses. We provide the same protections for these
electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance
of information received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site
utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see
explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server
logs to collect information about how our Web site
is used. Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and
the Web sites visited just before and just after our
Web site. This information is collected on an aggregate
basis. None of this information is associated with
you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information
That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for
purposes of administering our business activities,
providing customer service and making available other
products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important changes to
our Web site, new services and special offers we think
you will find valuable. The lists used to send you
product and service offers are developed and managed
under our traditional corporate standards designed
to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers’
personal information. As a customer, you will be given
the opportunity, at least once annually, to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that
allows Web servers to recognize the computer used
to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of
data that are stored by a user’s Web browser on the
user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information
a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent
interactions with that Web site by the same user or
to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions
on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user
to move from Web page to Web page and to complete
commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies
should make your online experience easier and more
personalized.
How Do We Use Information We
Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies
and Web server logs to gather information about our
Web site users’ browsing activities, in order to constantly
improve our Web site and better serve our customers.
This information assists us to design and arrange
our Web pages in the most user-friendly manner and
to continually improve our Web site to better meet
the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical
statistics. The information in the cookies lets us
trace the paths followed by users to our Web site
as they move from one page to another. Web server
logs allow us to count how many people visit our Web
site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor capacity.
We do not use these technologies to capture your individual
email address or any personally identifying information
about you although they do permit us to send focused
online banner advertisements or other such responses
to you.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
From time to time you may notice offers from outside
companies advertised on our Web site. We take measures
to select product or service providers that are responsible
and afford privacy protections to their customers.
However, we cannot make any representations about
the practices and policies of these companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic
Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or
partnerships with third parties who may be given access
to personal information including your name, address,
telephone number and email for the purpose of providing
you information regarding products and services that
we think will be of interest to you. In connection
with strategic marketing alliances or partnerships,
we will not share information regarding your social
security number or other personal financial data.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site,
new services and special offers we think you will
find valuable. As our client, you will be given the
opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive
these offers by clicking on a response box when you
receive such an offer or by sending us an email request
at info@localeventphotos.com.
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information
to us on our Web site, a secure server software which
we have licensed encrypts all information you input
before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled
en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure
unless we advise you that security measures will be
in place prior to your transmitting the information.
For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers
to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security. We utilize encryption/security
software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal
information we collect from unauthorized access or
disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices. Periodically,
our operations and business practices are reviewed
for compliance with corporate policies and procedures
governing the security, confidentiality and quality
of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate
values, ethical standards, policies and practices
are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee
access to confidential information, and limit the
use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable
information that we collect online and maintain in
our database by emailing info@localeventphotos.com.
Do We Disclose Information to
Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers,
sales, Web site traffic patterns and related Web site
information to our affiliates or reputable third parties,
but this information will not include personally identifying
data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy
Policy.
What About Legally Compelled
Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled
to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith,
believe that the law requires it or for the protection
of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked
to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed
by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the
information or content contained therein. Often links
to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers
to information on topics that may be useful to the
users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from
our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy
is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction
on any other Web site, including Web sites which have
a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s
own rules and policies. Please read over those rules
and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection
and use of your personal information as described
in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies
and procedures, we will post those changes on our
Web site to keep you aware of what information we
collect, how we use it and under what circumstances
we may disclose it.
