Miller's Professional Imaging Co.
(hereinafter "Miller's") is committed to safeguarding your privacy on its
websites Millerslab.com, Millersalbums.com, Millersevents.com, and mpix.com
(individually and collectively the "Site") This Miller's Privacy
Policy does not apply to products or services provided, or information
obtained, other than through the Site.
Please read the following policy to understand how your information will
be treated. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically. Please keep in mind that some of the services
mentioned specifically in this policy may not be available on the site at this
time. If you have questions concerning
this policy, please contact Dick Coleman at
dickc@millerslab.com. This Privacy Policy is effective as of
July 31, 2007.
Miller's collects information in
several ways. For example, some personal information is gathered when you
register as a customer using our account interface. During registration, we may
ask for your Miller's Account Number and your email address. Once you register,
you are no longer anonymous to Miller's and are able to take full advantage of
our services. In addition to registration, we may ask you for information at
other times, such as when you report a problem with our site or services, or
contact the company via the corporate e-mail address. If you contact Miller's,
we may keep a record of that correspondence.
If you believe that any inaccurate
or inappropriate information has been obtained or disseminated through your use
of this Site, you should contact a representative of Miller's at info@Millerslab.com and info@mpix.com.
How
are Photos Displayed?
Miller's is committed to providing
you with a safe environment to upload, share, market and order photos of
professional photographers. Except for photos the photographer chooses to
publish to a public gallery as part of the Service without password protection,
photos are generally protected by a password or event number, or are published
on a non-public URL, and are accessible only to people who are aware of that
particular URL
As part of offering and providing
customizable and personalized services, many Web sites use cookies to store and
sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that
is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard
drive. We may use cookies to allow
faster and easier access to your account information, monitor traffic on the
site and measure traffic patterns to improve functionality. Miller's Web pages may in the future contain
electronic images known as Web beacons
(sometimes called clear gifs or Web bugs) or other advanced technologies
that are useful in the provision of services to you. We may use such devices to verify compliance
with our terms and conditions of use or with any promotions on the site.
Miller's primary goal in collecting
information is to improve the site and provide the user with the best possible
experience on the site.' We will also use
your personal information to notify you of other products or services available
from Miller's and its affiliates.
Except as provided herein, only
Miller's and its affiliates will have access to individuals' account
information. We also may do research on our users' demographics and behavior
based on the information provided to us upon registration, gathered from
transaction activity, from our server log files or from surveys. This research
may be compiled, analyzed or sold on an anonymous aggregated basis, which does
not include information that would identify you. Miller's also may share this
data with business partners or other third parties.
When you are on a Miller's site and
are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with
Miller's and its affiliates and service providers. If personal data is to be
collected and/or maintained by any company other than Miller's or its
affiliates or service providers, we will attempt to notify you on the Site or
in an updated version of this Privacy Policy. If you do not want your data to
be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that
particular service.
Please be aware that other Web sites
to which we link may collect personally identifiable information about you when
you visit those sites. The information practices of other Web sites linked to
our Sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
We will not disclose any of your
personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or
under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it, or under the circumstances described below. The following
describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.
Data in the Aggregate: We may disclose 'blinded' aggregated data and user
statistics to prospective partners and other third parties, and for other
lawful purposes. Blinded data is data
which does not identify an individual person.
Other: We also may disclose account information in special
cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
violating Miller's Terms and Conditions of
Use or other online or signed agreement with Millers, or that may
otherwise be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or
unintentionally) Miller's rights or property, other Miller's Site users or
customers, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may
disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the
law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem
necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services.
We occasionally hire other companies
to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, delivering or
mailing, answering customer questions about products or services, sending
postal mail, providing investor information and processing data. We will only provide those companies the
information they need to deliver the service, and they are contractually
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
As we continue to develop our
business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions,
confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business
assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of
Miller's businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the
transferred assets.
How
can I control my personal information?
Miller's offers its customers
choices for the use and sharing of personal information. You may contact us at custserv@Millerslab.com and customerservice@mpix.com. If you wish to view, edit or delete your
personal information from our database, and we will use commercially reasonable
efforts to accommodate your request.
Keeping your personal financial
information private is vitally important to us. As a matter of policy and long‑time
business practice, Miller's does not sell information provided by its
customers. Any user statistics that we
may provide to prospective partners regarding financial matters are provided in
the aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information
about any individual user. We will transfer
your credit card number, bank account number or other personal information to
the appropriate credit card company or bank in order to process any online
payments.
Your Miller's Account Information
and Miller's Profile are password-protected so you have access to this personal
information. We use encryption technology to protect credit card numbers, bank
account numbers, passwords and registration information while they are being
transferred over the public Internet.
Remember to sign out of your Miller's account and close your browser
window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot
access your account by using your computer when you are away from it. Because
of the global nature of the Internet, when you give us information, that
information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where
you originally entered the information. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Except as discussed
above or otherwise designated, this site
does not use security encryption measures.
Therefore, information that you disclose by use of this site (as with
any site that is non-secure), by posting a message or using e‑mail,
potentially could be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from
third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own
purposes, legal or illegal. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, Miller's cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Once
we receive your transmission, we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
its security on our systems.
Your Copyrights
Miller's respects the intellectual
property rights of others. We claim no ownership rights in any image contained
in any of your photo albums and will not share your images unless instructed by
you or otherwise required by law or permitted under a separate agreement with
you. Please note that when you share a photo album, you allow the recipients of
that album to share and make that album and the photos in it available to
others. For more information, see the applicable Terms of Service.
Please keep in mind that whenever
you voluntarily disclose information online, that information is accessible to
other customers and users. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever
you are online.
When you or we end your customer
relationship with us, we will treat the information we have about you as if you
were still our customer.
Miller's collects personal information for its commercial purposes, which include fulfilling your order and providing services to you.
