Your trust and confidence are our highest priority. Photography In Style, Inc., as the provider of the Photography In Style service (“Photography In Style” or “we”), is dedicated to maintaining and protecting your privacy. This includes the privacy of both your information and your pictures. By using our service and by visiting this website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”). This Policy explains what information we collect and how we use the information so we can continue to provide outstanding service to you.
Information Collected
Photography In Style does not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, when you register with Photography In Style, we ask for the basics, including your name, email address and wedding date. We may also collect details about your wedding such as reception venue or cultural tradition, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. When you order products or services on this website, we will also need your billing and credit card information and mailing address. To help us provide you with the most relevant site content and email communications, we keep track of your website searches, registration activities and bookings. For all Photography In Style website visitors, not just registered users, we may automatically collect certain information such as IP addresses, browser type, domain names, access times, duration of visit, referring URL, platform, new/repeat information, time-stamp and exit page information. We use this data for statistical purposes so that we may analyze trends and performances over time. Photography In Style also uses third-party service providers to help us gather and analyze information about our customers. We restrict these service providers from using your information in any manner, other than to help us provide you with the products and services available on our website. Photography In Style is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend’s email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him or her to visit the site. If you contact our client service department, we will collect the information you provide that details the nature of your question or problem to enhance the quality of our website.
How Your Information Is Used
The data we gather is used to enhance your website experience; check for availability of services for your wedding date; manage our sweepstakes and promotions; manage our email marketing campaigns; manage your registration, reservation and booking activities; assist you in using our website and its features; manage your purchases via our website; and manage your photos. The information we collect helps us to better serve you. Photography In Style also uses the information we gather to target content on our website to more closely match your interests and, if you have selected to receive email communication from us, to target email marketing messages or notifications regarding new services that are more appropriate to your needs. Profile information is used by Photography In Style primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by you. Photography In Style may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message, or someone comments on your photo, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt out of such emails in your profile settings, though Photography In Style reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
How Your Information is Protected
Photography In Style maintains data handling and storage practices and procedures that are designed to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of customer information. Photography In Style incorporates appropriate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy and privacy of the personal information we have collected, and we have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse and alteration. All credit card information is encrypted utilizing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server technology before being transmitted over the Internet. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required and only authorized individuals have access to the information you provide us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Policy. You hereby acknowledge that Photography In Style is not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release Photography In Style from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.
Protecting the Privacy of Your Pictures
The Photography In Style website is designed so that you can control who may view the pictures stored in your Photography In Style account if you so choose. We are committed to keeping your pictures private and secure if you desire us to. Please note that if you choose to post a link to your Photography In Style account on your own or another’s website, or you share your pictures with your friends or family members by sending them your online Photography In Style account access information and they communicate such information to other individuals, these pictures may be accessible to individuals not authorized by you. In order to provide quality products, however, Photography In Style employees and third-party service providers fulfilling your order or providing client support to you will have access to and may see your pictures.
