Collecting Personal Information
Personal information is requested whenever you choose to use any of our services or order any of our products. The type of personal information we request has to do specifically with the type of service you are using or product you are ordering. This Photo Site does not knowingly collect personal information or data from children under the age of 13. To register as a member of this Photo Site and to use the services and purchase the products offered, you must be 18 years of age or over.
This Photo Site receives and stores personal data such as your name, user ID, password, address, e-mail address, shipping information, and telephone number.
When you sign up with us to obtain your photographs from your event visit, you establish a password-protected personal account for storing, organizing and sharing digital images, as well as for using our other services. In order to establish your account, we will need your name, user ID, e-mail address, password, and the information contained in the Photo Claim ID provided to you during your event visit.
If the ability to order prints, products or other paid services is offered, we will need the shipping address, billing name and address, and your credit card number and expiration date to process your order. See the Terms for other terms and conditions relating to such purchases, including, without limitation, credit card authorization, refund policy, pricing, and sales tax.
We use this data to process your order and to reply to your e-mail. If you opt into our promotional e-mailing list, we may also use this data to deliver offers, a newsletter and updates by email. You must supply the requested personal data to enable you to view, order or share photos. You can refrain from supplying personal data, but you then will be unable to take full advantage of this Photo Site and the services and products offered.
When you want to share your photographs with others (“Invitees”), we will ask for e-mail addresses of your Invitees.
Any contact with our Customer Service team or communication from you, such as telephone calls or e-mails, may be recorded to help us provide better service.
If you contact us by e-mail (through a hyperlink on a webpage, or otherwise), then we naturally will have your e-mail address and name and any other information in your message. We will use this information only to reply to your message. We will not share your e-mail address with third parties, except as provided herein.
Password
The password you select will allow you access to your account. You can update your account information and change your password at any time through the “My Account” link on this Photo Site. If you have forgotten your password, you can set a new one by clicking on the “Forgot Your Password” link on the Welcome Page. You will be responsible for all activities that occur under your password.
Non-Personal Data
In addition to personal information, we also collect non-personally identifying data about visitors to this Photo Site that helps us track their number and navigation through this Photo Site. This data may include the website the visitor arrived from and departs to as well as the IP address of the computer being used to access this Photo Site. While it may be possible to correlate this information with particular individuals, we do not do so. We use this data only in the aggregate, to show overall patterns for all visitors.
Information We Automatically Collect
Cookies and Invisible Gifs (also known as “Clear Gifs,” “Web Bugs” and “Tracker Gifs”)
Generally speaking, we use cookies and invisible gifs to track users of the service and this Photo Site. For example, when you visit this Photo Site, we assign you a unique user ID and store it on your computer in the form of a cookie (unless your browser’s cookie support has been disabled). Through the use of cookies, user IDs, and invisible gifs, we are able to optimize the performance and functionality of this Photo Site, and to personalize this Photo Site for you and present you with content and offers specific to your interests.
Disabling Cookies
If you are uncomfortable with the idea of your information being stored in cookies, we recommend disabling cookie support in your browser; though please understand this will limit the performance and functionality of this Photo Site. Your browser documentation will provide specific procedures for disabling cookie support.
IP Address
We analyze IP addresses in the aggregate for system administration purposes and to gather broad demographic information. We do not link IP addresses to your computer’s user ID, with the following exception: when you place an order using our online checkout process we record your computer’s IP address with your order to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this information with the financial institution that issued the credit-card with which an order was placed or with law enforcement authorities if we determine, or are notified, that the use of the credit card was fraudulent.
Use and Sharing Personal Data
We are not in the business of selling data about our customers. Your personal information will not be rented, sold or shared with any third party, except as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise agreed by you. There are limited circumstances in which we share personal data with third parties. Our primary goal in collecting your personal information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, user-friendly experience on this Photo Site and in connection with our services and products.
Third Parties
We share personal information with third-party service providers for the sole purpose of providing you with the products, services and information you have requested. We may also choose to offer certain third party products through this Photo Site and may disclose certain portions of your personally identifiable information to allow those product producers to fulfill your product order. Examples of such third-party service providers are credit card authorization companies, and merchandise distributors and shippers, which provide various services in connection with this Photo Site and the products and services offered and may take many of the actions described herein. Among the many services KODAK ALARIS provides in connection with this Photo Site and the services and products, KODAK ALARIS handles all orders, including credit card authorizations. The third-party service providers do not store, retain or access your information except to provide our services and products to you.
From time to time, we may also engage the services of third parties to help us analyze use of this Photo Site. These third parties will be contractually bound to use the personal data only according to this Privacy Policy. They are not authorized to send you any information about goods and services from other companies without your express permission.
Promotional Materials
We will give you the opportunity to opt into our promotional e-mailing. Our promotional e-mailings may inform you of site improvements, feature announcements, offers, newsletters, and occasional third-party promotional offers that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of these messages by unsubscribing through the email received or by selecting the opt out option available through the "My Account" link on the Photo Site.
Other Uses
We use your personal information to make your Photo Site experience enjoyable. For example, because we know who you are after you log in, we can present you with the right set of photographs in your password-protected account. We also know where to e-mail you to let you know your order has been shipped.
Note that one reason we are able to offer you relevant promotions is that we reserve the right to use aggregated, anonymous, non-personal data about our users as a group. We use such information for statistical analysis of user behavior, product development, content improvement and marketing, promotional and advertising purposes. We may also make that aggregate non-personal information available to select third party partners.
We may transfer personal data to an affiliate or third party as part of a transfer of business assets. The data would continue to be covered by the terms in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose personal information to third parties without your consent for any of the following reasons: to comply with any law, regulation or court order, to cooperate with Government investigations, to help prevent fraud, to enforce the terms of use, or protect the rights of KODAK ALARIS, its subsidiaries, and their customers.
Protecting the Privacy of Photographs
This Photo Site is designed so that you can control who may view the photographs stored in your account. We are committed to keeping your photographs private and secure. Please note that if you invite your friends or family members to share your photographs and they post your share invitation on a website or forward to other individuals, these photographs may be accessible to others who view the e-mail invitation and visit the Photo Site. Also note that if you post your photos to social networks, including but not limited to FACEBOOK, you are responsible for determining who can view your photos.
In order to provide quality products, our employees and third-party service providers, fulfilling your order or providing Customer Support to you, may see your photographs.
The photographs must be claimed within thirty (30) days from the date they were taken. Photographs not claimed within such thirty (30) days will no longer be available. Once photographs are claimed and associated with a user account, they will be available for viewing, sharing and purchasing for thirty (30) days, after which the photographs will be permanently deleted.
Protecting the Privacy of Your Friends & Family
Sharing your photographs electronically through our share service is one of the key benefits we offer. If you want to share photographs with friends and family, you need to enter their e-mail addresses. An invitation with a web link created specifically for your photographs will be sent to them with your email address as the sender. We will not add their e-mail addresses to a mailing list, or send them further e-mail unless they sign up and choose to receive such communications from us per this Privacy Policy.
Who Sees Your Photographs After They Have Been Posted On the Photo Site?
You, your Invitees and their Invitees can see your photographs on this Photo Site. An Invitee includes anyone who is invited to this Photo Site to see your photographs. Anyone who is invited to see your photographs on this Photo Site is not required to provide an e-mail address and a password to access this Photo Site to view the shared photographs. When you choose to share your images with Invitees, those individuals will be able to view your photographs. The Invitees will be prohibited from re-sharing the photographs from within their view of the Photo Site. However, as with any e-mail, your Invitees could forward the e-mail invitation to others, who will then be able to click on the link to your photographs within the e-mail, and see your photographs.
KODAK ALARIS employees or employees of third party partner companies or service providers that provide services to KODAK ALARIS in connection with this Photo Site may see your photographs while they are being scanned or printed.
