BrandPix collects and uses your personal information to improve the content of the Sites and, if applicable, customize the Sites to your preferences, to create a profile relating to you in order to show you content that may be of interest to you, to provide the services and features requested by you and, if you ask us, to send you information about products, services, features or promotions that may be of interest to you. We don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent. BrandPix may also use your personal information to create aggregated information that does not allow you to be personally identified or contacted. Rather than showing individual activity, aggregated information shows Member behavior as a whole. Aggregated information is used for development of the Sites and to market and promote the Sites.

Communications sent using the Sites' messaging tools will only be viewable by sending Member and intended receiving Member. For purposes of ensuring quality of service and preventing unwanted solicitation and communication, BrandPix reserves the right to monitor communications sent using the Site's messaging tools.

BrandPix enables you to share personal and financial information to complete transactions offline. You may not complete transactions on the Sites. We encourage you to disclose your privacy practices and respect the privacy of other Members. We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your information when you provide it to parties met through BrandPix and therefore we encourage you to evaluate the privacy and security policies of your partner before entering into a transaction offline and choosing to share your information. To help protect our Member's privacy, we allow only limited access to other Members' contact (i.e. product name, brand name, producer name, etc.) and financial information to facilitate your offline transactions. When Members contact each other on the Sites, they may disclose their name, email address and other contact information. In all cases, you must give other Members the promise to remove them from your database at their request.

As noted below, the information you provide to BrandPix via the Internet is password-protected for your privacy and security.

BrandPix does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

Your use of the Sites is subject to our Terms of Service and to the terms and conditions set forth herein. By accessing or using the Sites, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions in effect at the time of your access or use, including this Privacy Policy.

You can contact BrandPix at privacy@BrandPix.com to request access to your personal information or to request that BrandPix update or correct your personal information.

BrandPix may also collect information about you and your use of the Sites through the use of "cookies." A cookie is a small file that can be stored on your computer's hard drive. BrandPix may use cookies so that we can better serve you when you return to our Sites. You may be able to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. However, please note if you disable cookies, you may not be able to view all the pages or functions within our Sites. During your visit, we will record information regarding the number of visits you make to the various pages of our Sites. This information helps us determine the areas of BrandPix.com or the BrandPix webSites that are most attractive to our visitors, so that we can make improvements or add new features based on our visitors' interests.

An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are using your browser on the Internet. The servers that serve our web Sites automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

When visiting our Sites, you will find links from BrandPix Sites to independently-owned, controlled and/or managed World Wide Web or internet Sites whose content may be of possible interest to our visitors. In many cases, but not always, the links represent cooperative projects or mutual links established with the organizations connected with these Sites. While we initially visit these Sites to which we directly link, please note that we do not control the content that appears on these Sites and such content may be constantly changing. We encourage parents or guardians to monitor their children's online use, and to help us protect their privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information without permission.

You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal information (including information generated through the use of cookies) when you link to their websites. BrandPix is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your personal information, so you should check their privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.

We and our Members do not tolerate spam. To report BrandPix-related spam or spoof emails to BrandPix, please forward the email to BrandPix via the web form located on the Help page. You may not use our communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our Terms of Service. We scan and may manually filter messages to check for spam, viruses, phishing attacks and other malicious activity or illegal or prohibited content, but we do not permanently store messages sent through these tools.

BrandPix uses secure server software over an SSL line, the latest technology to protect your personal and your credit card information. SSL is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal and credit card information so that the information from your credit card cannot be read as it travels over the Internet. Encryption involves systematically scrambling numbers and letters, so that even if someone managed to intercept the information, they would not be able to make sense of it. In order to take advantage of this encryption technology, you need to have an Internet browser that will support encryption, such as Microsoft Explorer, Firefox or Safari.

You can see, review and change most of your personal information by signing on to BrandPix. Generally, we will not manually modify your personal information because it is very difficult to verify your identity remotely. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your verified written request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our BrandPix Terms of Service, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Periodically, BrandPix will encourage Members to participate in surveys or contests. The information we collect from these surveys is used to improve your overall Member experience. Any Member submitting responses through this vehicle automatically grants permission for their response to be stored and used for improvement evaluation.
