PRIVACY POLICY

Pictarine, Inc. (referred to as “Pictarine”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your privacy online.  The purpose of this document (the “Privacy Policy”) is to explain how we use information that we have collected from and about you and safeguard your personal information when you use our mobile and web photo printing app (together, the "Services' platforms"). If, after reviewing the Privacy Policy, you have questions about the types of information we collect, how we use it, or similar issues, please contact us at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy applies to the services (the “Services”) provided through the Pictarine website located at pictaphoto.com or picta.com (the “Website”) and all mobile platforms (the "Mobile Applications") made available by Pictarine to deliver the Services. It does not apply to the practices of other companies that Pictarine does not own or control nor does it apply to information of any kind provided to Pictarine by advertisers or other business partners. The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services with which we have no affiliation. A link to any third-party services does not mean that we endorse it or the quality or accuracy of information presented on it. Links to other websites are governed by their own policies. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through third-party websites or services that you may access through the Services.

PLEASE REVIEW THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. When you submit information to or through the Services, you consent to the collection and processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to our collection, use, disclosure and retention of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If this Privacy Policy is not acceptable to you, you should discontinue using the Services.

The Privacy Policy describes:

  • What information we collect when you interact with the Services
  • What we use your information for
  • In what ways we may disclose your information to other parties
  • The kinds of security measures in place to protect against loss or misuse of your personal information
  • What cookies are, and other forms of tracking that may be in use on the Services' platforms
  • Other privacy policies to which you may become subject when you use the Services
  • How you can access, update or delete your Personally Identifiable Information
  • What happens if we make changes to the Privacy Policy

1.  What information do we collect from or about you?

In this Privacy Policy, we refer to two types of user information: Personally Identifiable Information (sometimes referred to as “PII”) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

Personally Identifiable Information refers to any information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate you. Examples of Personally Identifiable Information include a name, physical address, e-mail address, telephone number, or a credit card number.

Pictarine collects only the PII that you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you register to use the Services, set up a profile, create content, sign up for a special offer, enter a sweepstakes or promotion, or complete a survey. If you purchase products or subscribe for paid services, you might also be asked to provide your credit card and related information for billing purposes.

You might also be asked for, or choose to provide, additional information about yourself that does not, itself, specifically identify you. This is Non-Personally Identifiable Information. However, some information of this kind, such as your age, gender, geographic location and shopping preferences may be required (or merely requested) when you register for the Services, and may be associated with your PII.

Pictarine may also automatically collect other types of Non-Personally Identifiable Information as you use the Services, including technical information (such as your internet protocol (“IP”) address, mobile device ID, or browser type) and usage information (such as location data, preferred language, the parts of the Services you have visited, which links you have clicked and other information about how you interact with the Services). This information is anonymous, and is not associated with your PII, although it may be associated with other pieces of anonymous information about you.

2. What do we use your information for?

Your Personally Identifiable Information may be used in one of the following ways:

  • To Process and fulfil your photo printing orders and to communicate with you about your orders, including order status updates and customer support
  • To contact you regarding your account. These communications may include notices regarding changes to our policies, service updates, account management procedures and customer service transactional messages.
  • To e-mail you newsletters or tips about how to use the Services, inform you of product updates, or notify you about our own special offers or those of our third-party partners.
  • To customize your experience and to show you relevant advertisements.
  • To bill your credit card or other specified form of payment, in accordance with the Terms of Use.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information may be used in one of the following ways:

  • To enable us to generate aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction.
  • To customize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs).
  • To show you advertisements most relevant to your demographic characteristics.
  • To make improvements to the Services
  • To inform potential partners and advertisers about the size and characteristics of our audience
  • (a)          Do we disclose any information to other parties?
  • Pictarine does not sell or trade your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties. We may disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to vendors who help us operate the Services' platforms, conduct our business or provide the Services to you, such as credit card processors, photo-printing vendors, customer service centers, or e-mail marketing providers. For example, we will have to provide your information to a third party that prints your photos. Photos that you choose to print using the Services, including any information that is contained within such photos, will also be shared with such third parties. All such partners are bound to keep your information confidential.
  • We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information, including to local, state, or federal law enforcement officials, when we believe in good faith that the law requires such action, or when required to do so by order of a court or other compulsory legal process. We may also share Personally Identifiable Information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or to prevent harm to the Services' platforms.
  • We may transfer your Personally Identifiable Information if we are acquired by or merge with another company. We will notify you in accordance with the procedures contained in this Privacy Policy if your information will become subject to a different privacy policy.
  • We may use or distribute information about you and your use of the Services in ways that do not reveal Personally Identifiable Information. For example, we share anonymous user information with advertisers and advertising networks to enable the display of targeted, relevant advertisements. We may also provide anonymous usage data or summary characteristics of our audience to potential partners and advertisers or post such information on publicly accessible areas of the Services' platforms.
  • (b)         Who can see your photos after you post them to Pictarine?
  • After you upload your photos using the Services, you may choose to share your photos with others through the App’s “feed”, which would allow all users of the App to see those photos, or through third party social media platforms, such as Instagram or Facebook (“Social Media”). Who may see your photos on such Social Media platforms depends on the privacy policies and privacy settings you have set through those Social Media platforms. Once a photo is shared through Social Media, Pictarine does not have control over who can or cannot see that photo through that Social Media platform.
  • As with any photo printing service, when you choose to print your photos, Pictarine employees, subcontractors, and partners may see your photos while they are printed and packaged. Occasionally, in order to improve the Services, Pictarine may randomly select user sessions and record the Mobile Application screens that users click through (the “Recordings”); as part of this process, Pictarine may see the products and photos that users select. If you do not want to participate in these random recordings, please contact us at [email protected].

3. How secure is your personal information?

We prioritize the security of your personal information and employ industry-standard measures to safeguard it from unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration when transferring your information. However, the security of information transmitted throigh the internet can never be guaranteed. We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the internet or for changes to or losses of data. Users of the Services are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user ID or other form of authentification involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of any of our digital services. In order to protect you and your data, we may suspend your use of any of the Services, without notice, pending an investigation, if any breach of security is suspected. Access to and use of password protected and/ or secure areas of any of the Services are restricted to authorized users only. Unauthorized access to such areas is prohibited and may lead to criminal prosecution.

We don’t store your credit card number. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our web forms, the transmission of that information is secured through different means, such as the use of secure socket layer technology (SSL) and tokens.

4. How long do we retain your information?

The retention period of collected information depends on the type of information and the reasons why we collect it. For example, Recordings will be retained for up to three months.

Your account information is retained while your account is active, unless you request us to delete the information or close your account. If you request us to delete your information or close your account, some information may still be retained for a reasonable time for re-activation purposes in case you decide to return to the Services. We may also retain some information we believe in good faith is necessary for legal and regulatory compliance, research and development, business matters, and improvement of our Services, in which case we would anonymize and encrypt such information until complete deletion.

If you request us to delete your information or close your account, some of the information you shared through the Services may still be accessible by those with whom you shared it. For example, if you shared an image enhanced within the App through social media, this image may still be visible by those with whom you shared it, even if we delete it from your account.

5. Do we use cookies or other forms of tracking?

Cookies are small files that a website or one of its service providers transfers to your computer’s storage device via your browser (if your browser is configured to permit this) that enable its systems to recognize your browser and store certain information. We use “cookies” to collect information and improve our Services. Cookies are not themselves personally identifiable, but may be linked to Personal Information that you provide to us through your interaction with the Services. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location from which the cookie originated, the "lifetime" of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. We may use “persistent cookies” to save your user ID and password for future logins to the Service. We may use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Service.

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a web server of the website that issued the cookie to you.

Depending on your web browser (including some mobile web browsers), you may have the ability to accept or decline cookies or other mobile device identifiers. Most web browsers default to accept cookies but enable you to configure settings to decline them. For further information about disabling cookies you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other features of the Services that depend on cookies.

Pictarine maintains internal logs of usage of the Services. Logs include information such as IP address, browser type and version, and computer operating system. Pictarine uses logs mainly for internal systems administration and diagnostic purposes, and to detect improper use of the site. Logs may also be used to generate aggregate, non-Personally Identifiable Information for advertisers or other third parties.

Pictarine does not use cookies, similar technologies, or its internal logs to associate your Personally Identifiable Information with data about your use of the site.

6. Other privacy policies to which you may be subject

The Services incorporate the Application Programming Interfaces (“API’s”) provided by

  • Facebook: This Privacy Policy incorporates by reference the Facebook privacy policy, which may be viewed at https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=%20322194465300.
  • Google: This Privacy Policy incorporates by reference the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

 

Occasionally, we may include or offer third-party products or services on the Services' platforms that include links or opportunities to share your photos to external websites. For example, advertisements, promotional offers, “free gifts,” and other links on Pictarine Website or included in e-mail from Pictarine, may bring you to external web pages not controlled by Pictarine. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies and terms of service, which will govern the use of any Personally Identifiable Information that you provide. While Pictarine is not responsible for the use of your information by third parties, we nevertheless seek to protect our users and the integrity of our Website, and we therefore invite your feedback about these sites.

7. How can you access, update or delete your Personally Identifiable Information?

All account settings can be changed from inside the Pictarine Mobile or Web Applications. This includes reviewing and changing Personally Identifiable Information, setting email preferences for non-account related emails, canceling or deactivating your account.

Administrative and account-related communications are necessary to ensure we provide our users with the highest level of service, therefore registered users are not permitted to opt out from receipt of these communications, except in that event that you cancel your registration for the Services entirely.

New types of marketing communications might be added from time to time. Users who visit the relevant Web or Mobile Application section can opt out of receiving future marketing communications or they can unsubscribe by following instructions contained in the messages they receive.

Anonymous information relating to your past usage of the Services may remain in our archived records after your account has been deleted, and any content that you have contributed to the Services will remain visible to the same extent as if you remained a registered user of the Website or Mobile Applications. If you wish to have all information that you have posted to be deleted, please contact us at [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to honor your request.

8. What if we make changes to our Privacy Policy?

Because enhancements to the Services we provide may affect the information that we collect and the manner in which we use it, this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. All changes will be incorporated into the written policy and posted here. The date of last revision to the Privacy Policy is indicated at the bottom of this page.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date set forth at the bottom of this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. The amended Privacy Policy supersedes all previous versions.

9. What if you have questions that are not answered here?

Your Rights and Choices

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) provides consumers residing in California (“California Consumers”) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This Notice supplements the Pictarine Online Privacy Policy and applies solely to California Consumers.

Personally Identifiable Information (“personal information”) is defined for purposes of this section of the Policy as information that identifies, relates, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked to, directly or indirectly, you as an individual.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information, commensurate to the type or sensitivity of the information you are requesting, that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
  • Describe your request in sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance, specifically by electronic mail communication.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
