Positive Photography Privacy Policy
Positive Photography strives to
offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the terms
of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or
rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
Never ever.”
How we gather information
from users
How we collect and store
information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain
features, such as newsletters or when you make a
purchase. You may provide information when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards
and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our
site.
Like most Web sites,
Positive Photography also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we
may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or
use cookie technology to recognize you and hold
information from your visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and password, sparing
you from having to re-enter that information each time
you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our
site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also
gather information through other means. In certain
cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to
refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be
unable to access certain portions of the site or may be
asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s features
according to your preferences.
What we do with the
information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we
collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We respect
your privacy and do not share your information with
anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that
does not personally identify you) may be used in many
ways. For example, we may combine information about your
usage patterns with similar information obtained from
other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g.,
to learn which pages are visited most or what features
are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business
partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use
Personally Identifiable Information collected on
Positive Photography to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and Privacy Policy; services and products
offered by Positive Photography and other topics we
think you might find of interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by Positive
Photography may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other
communications with you. Certain third parties who
provide technical support for the operation of our site
(our Web hosting service for example) may access such
information. We will use your information only as
permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we
continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy,
merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In
such transactions, user information may be among the
transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times
when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by
law, in connection with the collection of amounts you
may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please
note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites,
linked sites and advertisements
Positive
Photography expects its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be
aware, however, that third parties, including our
partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content
providers accessible through our site, may have their
own privacy and data collection policies and practices,
and we have no control over these. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part
of a frame on a Positive Photography page, certain
content that is actually created or hosted by a third
party. Also, through Positive Photography you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web
sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other parties. Positive Photography is not responsible
for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those
third parties when providing information on a feature or
page operated by a third party.
While on our
site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you.
For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include
cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other
features available on our site may offer services
operated by third parties and may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. Positive Photography
does not control the use of this technology by third
parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
You should also be aware that if you
voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information
on message boards or in chat areas, that information can
be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
Positive Photography and this policy.
Note that
Positive Photography may make income or commissions in
some circumstances where you purchase products from
other merchants with whom we are affiliated. We do not
make any representations about the quality or
availability or suitability of any products offered for
sale by any other merchant or website. We have no
control over these merchants or their
products.
Children
Positive
Photography does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about
children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we
discover we have received any information from a child
under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete
that information immediately. If you believe Positive
Photography has any information from or about anyone
under 13, please contact us at the address listed
below.
Changes to this
Policy
Positive Photography reserves the
right to change this policy at any time. Please check
this page periodically for changes. Your continued use
of our site following the posting of changes to these
terms will mean you accept those changes. Information
collected prior to the time any change is posted will be
used according to the rules and laws that applied at the
time the information was collected.
Governing
law
This policy and the use of this Site are
governed by the law of Victoria in Australia. If a
dispute arises under this Policy we agree to first try
to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon
mediator in the following location: Melbourne, Victoria,

associated with the mediation will be shared equally by
each of us.
