Prophotoapps is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy tells you
about our online collection and use of data. The terms of this policy apply to all
Prophotoapps websites, unless different terms are specified in a form or contract provided
to you online or offline.
Collection of Your Personal Information
When you visit this site, certain kinds of information, such as the website that
referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, and access times,
may be collected automatically as part of the site's operation. We also may collect
navigational information, including information about the pages you view, the links
you click, and other actions taken in connection with the site. We may combine your
visit and navigational information with personal information that you provide. You
may always choose not to provide personal information, but if you so choose, certain
products and services may not be available to you. Personal information (e.g., your
username and password, your name, your company, your mailing address, email address,
and phone number) is collected when you sign up for our services or register. Additional personal information
(e.g., your credit card number and billing address) is collected to process transactions
or to provide you with products and services.
Demographic information (e.g., your age, hobbies, income, gender, or interests)
may also be collected and may be linked to your personal information.
Use of Your Personal Information
Prophotoapps collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve our
sites, to process your transactions, to provide customer service, to perform research
and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies, and to
display content that is customized to your interests and preferences. We also use
your personal information to communicate with you. We may send transaction-related
communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, and purchase confirmations.
We may also send you surveys or marketing communications to inform you of new products
or services, or other information that may be of interest. If you do not wish to
receive marketing communications, you may contact us as described below or follow
the "unsubscribe" instructions included within each email communication. Please
keep in mind that, if you choose not to receive marketing communications, you will
continue to receive transactional or account communications (e.g., confirmation
emails and account balance statements).
Personal information collected by Prophotoapps may be stored and processed in the United
States or any other country in which Prophotoapps or its affiliates maintain facilities,
and by using our sites or services, you consent to any such transfer of information
outside of your country. Prophotoapps abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth
by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention
of data from the European Union. If you would like to exercise any of your data
protection rights (including the right to have your personal information deleted),
please contact us using the "Contact Information" below.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as disclosed in this privacy policy, Prophotoapps does not share your personal
information with any outside parties. We may share your personal information within
our corporate group, including subsidiaries and
divisions, all of whom may use your information for the purposes disclosed herein.
We may also share your personal information with service providers who perform services
on our behalf. For example, we may hire other companies to handle the processing
of payments, to provide data storage, to host websites, to fulfill orders and shipments,
to assist in direct marketing, to conduct audits, etc. Those companies will be permitted
to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service. They are
required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from
using it for any other purpose.
Information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed
as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of the company and/or its assets, as
well as in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, in which
personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company.
We will notify you of such an occurrence as described in the "Changes to This Privacy
Policy" section below.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so
by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to
comply with legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property or
safety of our company, employees, customers, or the public.
Personal Information Preferences
Prophotoapps respects your right to make choices about the use and disclosure of your
personal information. If at any time you decide that you do not want to receive
marketing communications from us or our affiliates, please let us know
by following the instructions in the individual marketing communication. If you
choose not to receive marketing communications, please be advised that you will
continue to receive transactional or account communications (e.g., confirmation
emails and account balance statements).
Use of Cookies and Other Technologies
Prophotoapps uses "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard
drive. Cookies contain information, including personal information, that can later
be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. The information
that cookies collect includes the date and time of your visit, your registration
information, and your navigational and purchase history. Cookies offer you many
conveniences. They allow us to identify registered users when they return to the
site so that they can retrieve previous image search results, access Lightboxes
and Clipbins and view their previous invoices. Cookies also save you time by eliminating
the need to repeatedly enter the same information.

In some cases, our third-party service providers may use cookies on our sites. We
have no access to or control over these cookies. This privacy statement covers the
use of cookies by Prophotoapps only, and does not cover the use of cookies by third
parties.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If
you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive
features of our sites and services that depend on cookies.
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies, including single-pixel gifs
(also known as web beacons) on our websites and in promotional e-mail messages or
newsletters. These tiny electronic images assist us in determining how many users
have visited certain pages or opened messages or newsletters. We do not use these
images to collect personal information.
Distribution of Information
We may share information with governmental agencies or other companies assisting
us in fraud prevention or investigation. We may do so when: (1) permitted or required
by law; or, (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or
unauthorized transactions; or, (3) investigating fraud which has already taken place.
The information is not provided to these companies for marketing purposes.
Security of Your Personal Information
TThe security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally
accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. For instance,
when you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our registration
or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is
100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we
cannot guarantee its absolute security. If a password is used to protect your account
and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential.
If your password has been lost or compromised, please change it and notify Prophotoapps
immediately.

providers, that have different privacy policies and practices from those disclosed
here. We assume no responsibility for the policies or practices of such linked sites,
and encourage you to become acquainted with them prior to use.
