This policy may be revised over time as new features are added to the Site
or as we incorporate suggestions from our customers. If we are going to use
or disclose your personally identifiable information in a manner materially
different from that stated at the time we collected the information, you will
have a choice as to whether or not we use or disclose your information in this
new manner. Any material changes will be effective only after we provide you
by e-mail with at least 30 days' notice of the amended Privacy Policy (if you
have closed your account, you will not be contacted to notify you of the amended
Privacy Policy and your personal information will not be used or disclosed
in this new manner).
We will also post a notification that the Privacy Policy has been amended
prominently on our Web site so that you can always review what information
we gather, how we might use that information, and under which conditions we
will disclose it to anyone.
Who we are:
When we say "we" or " TalkingPhotos.co.uk " in this privacy
policy, we mean TalkingPhotos.co.uk, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and those
TalkingPhotos.co.uk subsidiaries used to provide on-line media services that
operate primarily under the " TalkingPhotos.co.uk " brand name. Accordingly,
all information we receive may be shared among the different parts of TalkingPhotos.co.uk
in connection with TalkingPhotos.co.uk 's operations, and all information that
is subject to this privacy policy will be used in accordance with this privacy
policy by all parts of TalkingPhotos.co.uk. However, TalkingPhotos.co.uk does
not include TalkingPhotos.co.uk 's other (i.e., non-subsidiary) affiliated
companies, as those companies are referred to in this privacy policy as "others," "other
companies" or "third parties."
Information We Collect:
In order to operate the TalkingPhotos.co.uk Site and provide you with information
on products and services that may be of interest to you, we may collect "contact
information" (i.e., information that could be used to contact you such
as full name, postal address, phone number and email address as well as your
computer's unique IP address (if any)), "financial information" (i.e.,
passwords, credit and debit card numbers and bank and other financial institution
account numbers) and "demographic information" (e.g., zip code,
postal code, hometown, gender, purchase history information and age as
well as IP addresses that are not unique to your computer) from you.
Please note
that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect contact information
or financial information from children under the age of 13.
How We Use the Information We Collect:
Order and Payment Processing, Customer Service, Credit Card Issuers and Quality
Assurance. We use contact information to help us efficiently perform transactions,
to deliver the services you have requested, to perform quality assurance,
sales analyses and other business analyses, and to contact you in connection
with any orders that you have placed with us. We may also provide your contact
information to your credit card issuer or to credit card processors for their
purposes. When you make a purchase through the Site, or register with the
Site, you will provide us with an email address where we, or these service
providers, may contact you for the purposes described in this paragraph.
Contacting You for
Offers and Promotions. After you provide us with an email address and
agree to receive promotional materials in connection with ordering
goods or services through the Site or registering with the Site, or in
connection with any Special Offers as described below, you may visit
the "MyAccount" section
of the Site. There you will be given the opportunity to opt out of receiving
promotional emails from us and to separately opt out of receiving promotional
emails from certain third parties, or from us on their behalf, whom TalkingPhotos.co.uk
believes offers quality goods or services that may interest our users. If you
have opted out of receiving promotional emails, you may use the MyAccount section
to choose to begin receiving promotional emails full of great offers from TalkingPhotos.co.uk
and/or great offers relating to quality goods and services from third parties. "Promotional
emails" are emails that are sent solely for promotional purposes.
By submitting an email address to us and leaving the appropriate boxes
checked
upon registering
with our Site, you agree that TalkingPhotos.co.uk may send promotional
emails to that email address, on its own behalf or on behalf of a quality
third
party vendor, in accordance with your selections until such time that you
so indicate
your preference not to receive them via the MyAccount section. It is our
policy to send only a reasonable number of promotional emails to our users.
Please
note that if you ask not to receive promotional emails from TalkingPhotos.co.uk,
you may still receive promotional emails during the next 72-hour period
(as it may take some time for your preferences to be updated throughout
our computer
systems) and you may still receive non-promotional emails from TalkingPhotos.co.uk.
Divulging Your Contact Information for Legal and Administrative Reasons:
We may disclose specific contact information when we determine that such disclosure
is necessary to comply with law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from
law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of TalkingPhotos.co.uk
or other visitors to the Site or users of services or products provided by
TalkingPhotos.co.uk. Also, your contact information may be passed on to a
third party in the event of a merger, acquisition, consolidation, divestiture,
or a bankruptcy of TalkingPhotos.co.uk, subject to a pledge of confidentiality
under which the recipient of your contact information agrees to use the information
solely for the purpose of carrying out the transaction.
Other Instances where Contact Information may be Shared:
If you opt out of receiving promotional emails from a third party or from us
on behalf of a third party, then we will not share your contact information
with unaffiliated third parties, unless we are otherwise permitted to under
this privacy policy (for example, we will still be permitted to share your
contact information with Merchants, but only to the extent permitted above).
If you do not opt out of receiving all promotional emails, then we may share
your contact information if we believe it makes business sense. These third
parties may communicate directly with you about their products and services.
Responsibility:
TalkingPhotos.co.uk will not be responsible or otherwise liable for any use
or disclosure of your contact information by a third party to whom TalkingPhotos.co.uk
is allowed to disclose your contact information under this privacy policy.
How We Use Your Financial Information:
We use your financial information to help us efficiently perform sales and
other transactions on the Site, to deliver the goods and services you have
requested, to enroll you in any bulk order, monthly subscription and other
programs that we may offer from time to time in which you elect to participate
and to perform quality assurance. We may also provide your financial information
to your credit card issuer, financial institutions or credit card processors
to process transactions and for their other purposes.
We may disclose specific financial information when we determine that such
disclosure is necessary to comply with law, to cooperate with or seek assistance

How We Use Demographic Information:
We may use your demographic information to perform business analyses or to
tailor the Site and communications to your interests. We may share anonymous,
aggregated demographic information with advertisers and other third parties
so that they can tailor their advertisements and communications to the appropriate
audience. Any time that we are allowed under this privacy policy to share
your contact information or financial information, we may also share your
demographic information along with it.
Your IP Address:
Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically
collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to
administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our
Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic
information about you.
Cookies:
Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to help it keep track of your purchases
and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the Site.
We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and
to facilitate
the retrieval of information so you do not have to re-enter it each time
you visit the Site. On the Site, others may place or read cookies on
your browser as well. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" portion
of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set
your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain
areas or
features of the Site.
Our Security Precautions; Geographic Location of Information:
The Site has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse
and alteration of the information under our control. We use secure socket
layer (SSL) technology to help protect the security of commerce transactions.
We encrypt your contact information and financial information as it travels
over the Internet and we store your financial information on our servers
in encrypted form. Your information may be transferred to and maintained
in whole or in part on computer networks which may be located outside of
the state or province in which you reside, and may be stored on equipment
or in facilities leased or licensed from third 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 and make all commercially reasonable efforts to do
so, TalkingPhotos.co.uk 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.
