Privacy Policy
Welcome
to creative scrapbooking on the Life Imprints scrapbook products Website.
Because your online privacy is very important to us, we want you to understand
our practices with regard to collecting and using your information and the
steps we take to safeguard it. This statement applies to personally
identifiable information collected only online within the United States. When
this Privacy Policy uses the term "personally identifiable
information," we mean information that identifies a particular individual,
such as the individual’s name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone
number. When other information, such as your scrapbook product preferences, or
number of children, is directly associated with personally identifiable
information, this other information also becomes personally identifiable
information for purposes of this Privacy Policy. Personally identifiable
information is sometimes referred to in this Privacy Policy as "personal
information."
Collection, Use and Disclosure of
Personally Identifiable Information
Life
Imprints does not rent, sell or share personal information about you with other
people or nonaffiliated companies. You do not need to reveal any personally
identifiable information to browse and use our creative scrapbooking Website.
You can use our services and view our terrific scrapbook products and content
anonymously. For instance, you can search for “scrapbooking
embellishments” or a topic of interest to you using our search engines without
giving out any personally identifiable information.
The
following activities require you to give us personally identifiable information
to participate in them. When you provide personally identifiable information to
us to participate in these activities, we do not share that personal
information with third parties.
1. Contact Us
Throughout
our creative scrapbooking site, there are instances where you may contact us to
request more information from us about our scrapbook products, website or our
company. You may do this by clicking on the hyperlinks that allow you to e-mail
us a question. When you do this, we will collect any personally identifiable
information, including your e-mail address, which you provide to us. We use
this information to respond to your creative scrapbooking questions. We will
not share the information you provide with any third party.
2. Purchases
If you
elect to purchase scrapbook products on our creative scrapbooking website, you
will be required to provide us with certain personal information, including
your name, e-mail address, credit card number, expiration date, and billing
address (this required information is subject to change from time to time).
There will also be opportunities for you to provide us with additional
information regarding your scrapbook products preferences and other interests.
This information, however, is not required and is completely optional on your
part. We use this information to fulfill your order. We may share that
information with contractors who have access to it only for purposes of
fulfilling your scrapbook products order and are contractually obligated to keep
it confidential and to not use it for any other purpose, including marketing to
you.
3. Promotional Campaigns
When you
purchase scrapbook products on our creative scrapbooking website, you will be
given the opportunity to choose whether you wish to receive future email
promotions from us. If you choose that option, we will periodically email you
special promotional offers, coupons, advertisements, and announcements
regarding our scrapbook products, scrapbooking embellishments and
services. You may choose to discontinue receiving these special promotions
by exercising the “unsubscribe” option found in email you receive. You will
receive creative scrapbooking correspondence only from Life Imprints, as we do
not share your email address with any third party.
Aggregate Information and
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Our
scrapbook products Website collects some non-personal information about you
using technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being
collected. For instance, when you come to our creative scrapbooking site, your
IP address is collected. An IP address is often associated with the place from
which you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your
company, or your university. This information is not personally identifiable.
We use information collected through this technology to make our creative
scrapbooking sites more interesting and useful to you. We also track the
scrapbook products pages or documents accessed within our site. This information
is collected for systems administration and for analyzing and improving the
value of the material available on our creative scrapbooking website. This
aggregate non-personal information is used to help our advertisers on our site
design advertisements our users might like. We do not combine this type of
information with personally identifiable information. Cookies
We
also use cookies on our creative scrapbooking Website. What are cookies?
Cookies are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer while
you are viewing the website. These cookies, or pieces of information, allow the
website to remember important information that will make your use of the site
more useful. We, as well as other Internet companies, use cookies for a variety
of purposes. For instance, we use cookies to remember you and to improve your
navigation through our scrapbook products and website features. You can choose
to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can
choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different,
so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your
cookies.
Security of Information
We
view security of confidential and private information as a top priority.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
absolutely secure and we do not ensure or warrant the security of the
transmission of information. Once your personal information, through our
“contact us” links, is received by us via our creative scrapbooking website, it
is stored behind a firewall. We also maintain access control procedures,
including informing our employees of the privacy and security policies. Your
information is only accessible to those employees who have a legitimate need
for the information in order to perform their jobs and fulfill your scrapbook
products orders. Disclosure Exceptions
Notwithstanding
the above policies, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information
to appropriate third parties if we are required to do so by law or we believe
that such action is necessary:
- To
comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order;
- To
protect the company's rights and property or defend against legal claims;
- To
investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected
fraud, situations involving harassment, abusive messages or potential threats
to the physical safety of any persons;
- To
protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Website; or
- During emergencies, such as when we believe someone's physical safety is at
risk; or
- In
the event that Life Imprints and/or its units or subsidiaries are ever sold,
acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, we reserve
the right to transfer our user databases, together with any personally
identifiable information contained therein, to a third party acquiring the
assets. In the event we do so, we will place a prominent notice of the sale on
the homepage of our creative scrapbooking site, with links to information as to
how you can change your privacy preferences.
Links
to Other Websites
Life
Imprints provides links to third-party Websites and advertisers, including
other creative scrapbooking resources, as a convenience to its users. The
inclusion of any link does not imply an endorsement or recommendation of the
third-party organization, its Website, or its products and services. We have
not reviewed and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
such websites. We urge you to consult those websites’ privacy policies.
Notification
of Change
We
reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy. The most current Privacy
Policy will be posted on our scrapbook products Website so you are always aware
of what information we collect, how it is used, and under what circumstances,
if any, it is disclosed. We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy in
response to changing business circumstances and legal developments. When we
post changes to this Policy, you will see the word "updated" at the
top of the Privacy Policy page on our creative scrapbooking site. If there are
material changes to this Policy, or in how we use your personally identifiable
information, we will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the
change. While shopping our scrapbook products, we encourage you to periodically
review this Policy to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
Use
Common Sense in All Your Online Activities
Even
the best policy can't protect your online privacy and security in all
circumstances. Unscrupulous advertisers, hackers, and scam artists are
constantly searching the Internet looking for new targets. Your best protection
is to understand the limits to privacy on the Internet and use common sense in
all of your online activities.
Be
aware that e-mail is an inherently insecure form of communication. Remember
that third parties are sometimes able to illegally intercept your unencrypted
messages.
Anytime
you visit a chat room or post a message to an on-line bulletin board, your
e-mail address can be accessed by advertisers looking to compile lists for
unsolicited commercial e-mail (also known as spam). Be sure that you only
disclose your e-mail address in circumstances in which it is safe to do so.
Beware
of scams in which persons unknown to you request your screen name, password, or
credit card information. Make sure you verify the identity of anyone asking for
personal information.
Always
monitor your children's online activities and educate them as to the rules for
safe Internet use. For more information, visit FTC’s Web page on Children’s
Privacy.
