PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: July 07, 2003
The Image Edge.net 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.
Period."
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 The Image Edge.net
to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences;
our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by The
Image Edge.net and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by The Image Edge.net 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
The Image Edge.net 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.
For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a
frame on a The Image Edge.net page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through The Image Edge.net you may be introduced
to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. The Image Edge.net 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. The Image
Edge.net 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 The Image Edge.net and
this policy.
