We use the information that we collect about you
to maintain, improve, and administer our website, operate our business, provide
products and services that you request, administer your account, inform you about
products and services that might be of interest to you and personalize your online
experience. In order to carry out certain
business functions, such as order fulfillment, e-mail delivery, or marketing,
we sometimes hire other companies to perform services on our behalf. We may disclose
personally identifiable information that we collect about you to these companies
to enable them to perform these services, but they are required to safeguard the
data and are not authorized to use it for any other purpose than completing their
contractual requirements to PrintsByMe. For example, as a part of the normal process
of completing your purchase, PrintsByMe may provide your personal data to a third
party payment processor, such as Verisign/PayPal, depending on your chosen method
of payment. Please be aware that, because of the limitations of the systems used
by some financial institutions, the statement you receive from your credit card
or financial institution may show the name of a third party payment processor,
such as Verisign/PayPal, instead of or in addition to the PrintsByMe Name. In
addition, we may share the information we collect with other companies with whom
we have joint marketing arrangements. If you
check the applicable box on registration or in updating your account, PrintsByMe
may also share personally identifiable information about you such as your name,
telephone number, e-mail address, and/or mailing address with carefully selected
third-party organizations such as retailers or direct marketers to enable those
organizations to inform you about products or services that might be of interest
to you. If you do not wish to have your information shared with these organizations,
simply do not check the applicable box on the registration form or on the "account
Update" page on our website. Personally
identifiable information may be shared with AdeptMedia Corporation, the parent
company of PrintsByMe, and this data may be used for AdeptMedia Corporation's
marketing efforts in addition to PrintsByMe. We
may also disclose information we collect about you in other circumstances as required
or permitted by law. For example, PrintsByMe reserves the right to disclose personally
identifiable information, including account information, when we believe such
disclosure is appropriate to cooperate with an investigation of activities claimed
to be unlawful, to enforce our Terms of Use, or to protect the rights or property
of PrintsByMe or others. In addition, it is possible that in the future another
company may acquire PrintsByMe or it's assets. It is also possible that PrintsByMe
may partner with or purchase another company to continue to do business as a combined
entity. In the event that this occurs, it is possible that our customer information
may be transferred to the new business entity as one of PrintsByMe's assets. In
such an event, we will update the policy to reflect any change in ownership or
control of your personal information. Links

you provide to the third party and any dealings you have with the third party

and procedural safeguards designed to help us protect your nonpublic personal
information. For example, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt
your credit card information when you purchase products through our website. When
you establish an account at PrintsByMe, you choose a password to help protect
your account information. A password is only as strong as you make it: you should
select a unique password and keep it safe. You may change the password as often
as you wish by going to "My Account" and selecting "Edit"
Under "Email Address". PrintsByMe
authorizes only those persons who need to know personal information to administer
your account, to provide or inform you about products and services, or to maintain,
improve or administer our website to access your personal information. Special
