Photofliks Inc.

THIS IS A CONTRACT. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS BEFORE ACCESSING THIS SITE. BY ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS IMPOSED IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS THE SITE.

BY USING PHOTOFLIKS INC.’S SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS. YOU ALSO AGREE TO REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT PERIODICALLY TO BE AWARE OF MODIFICATIONS TO THE AGREEMENT, WHICH MODIFICATIONS PHOTOFLIKS INC. MAY MAKE AT ANY TIME. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THIS SITE WILL BE DEEMED YOUR CONCLUSIVE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY MODIFIED AGREEMENT.

1. Information We Collect About You
   We collect several types of information about visitors and/or users of our Services. We may collect this information either directly when you provide it to us or automatically as you navigate through the Website.
   (a) Personally Identifiable Information. ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ refers to information by which you may be personally identified, such as your name, email address, or school. We will collect and process such data about you when you register for a Service/create an account, subscribe to a newsletter, submit feedback, enter a contest, fill out a survey, or send us a communication. You may also provide information to be published or displayed (“posted”) on public areas of the Website (such as blogs, forums, message boards, and the like), or transmitted to other users of the website using ‘sharing’ features (collectively, “User Contributions”). Your User Contributions are posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Website with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. As an example, if you wanted to share tips on how to properly raise and herd goats with another user named Gary or Steve we could not prevent Gary or Steve from spreading your best-practice goat-herding tips with the rest of the planet, the global community, the Photofliks Inc. community or the community in which you live. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
   We may also collect your Internet Protocol (‘IP’) address. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Services and to gather demographic information.
   (b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We may collect, or our third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information, that does not by itself identify a specific individual. Such information tells us about your equipment, browsing actions, the resources that you access and use through the Services, your operating system and browser type. Our third party ad servers will also provide us with super summarized summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our Website, this is exciting stuff. The information that we collect automatically is largely ‘statistical’ in nature. This information helps to bind the universe together and helps us to deliver a better and more personalized service to users, by enabling us to estimate usage patterns while customizing our Services according to your individual preferences. This information also allows us to speed up your searches which will make a better website for you which will increase the likelihood that you will love Photofliks Inc. Research has also indicated that humans that love a service tend to keep paying for the service which would in turn allow us to provide an even better service as a percentage of the revenues would then be reinvested back into the company to improve the overall service. As the service improves more and more subscribers are likely to visit the website on a consistent basis. Please allow yourself to share the information listed above. 
2. How We Use Your Information
   We use information held about you in the following ways:
   • To ensure that content from our Services is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer or mobile device.
   • To provide you with information and services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
   • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
   • To improve the overall look and feel of the website.
   • If you pay for Services using a credit card, we will transmit your credit card data to the appropriate credit card company and/or credit card payment processing company.
   • To allow you to participate in interactive features of our Services, when you choose to do so.
   • To notify you about changes to our Services.
   • To serve as another justification for hiring attorneys to write legal content like this which every customer never read, except for you.
   • To encourage our staff about the progress you are making.
   • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
3. We or our selected third parties, where we permit them to use your data, will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this.
   If you email us, we will respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible without running the risk of injuring ourselves as a result of sprinting around the office to hop back to our beautiful desks to send you a response.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
   We will share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell, trade, rent or disclose your information to others, except as provided herein:
   (a) We provide some of our Services through contractual arrangements with service providers and other third parties. We and our service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our Website and to deliver Services. We must provide some of your information to third parties that help us deliver the services.
   (b) We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information in the following circumstances: (i) if it is required by law enforcement or judicial authorities, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation; as an example if you are one of those terrible humans who is involved in the Taliban or ISIL we would love to turn over your information to members of the law enforcement community (ii) if we have a good faith belief that we are required or permitted to do so by law or legal process; (iii) to protect the rights, reputation, property or safety of Photofliks Inc. or others; (iv) to defend or enforce our rights or your obligations; (v) if the disclosure is required by mandatory professional standards; (vi) to a 3rd party with your prior consent to do so; or (vii) if we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personally Identifiable Information in order to enforce or apply any contracts or agreement that may exist between you and Photofliks Inc. including this Privacy Policy and our Website Use Policy. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
   (c) In the event that Photofliks Inc. decides to sell all or part of its stock or assets or enter into a merger, we reserve the right to include Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information among the assets transferred to the acquiring or surviving company.
   (d) We may provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related Website information to third party advertisers.
   If you have any inquiries regarding our privacy practices, please contact us directly and expect to receive the same information you have found on this long-winded page regurgitated verbally.
5. Updating or Correcting Your Personally Identifying Information
   You may access, request deletion, and correct yours personal information and privacy preferences by contacting Photofliks Inc. by emailing us at:
   services@photofliks.com.

Please include your name, address, and e-mail address when you contact us. We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions for as long as is reasonably necessary, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this Website, as upsetting as this may be to you. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of backups and redundancies that we have in place. The only people who have truly found a way to delete something forever without ever having hopes of finding it again work for bureaucracies and not for Photofliks Inc.

1. Canceling Your Account or Deleting Personally Identifiable Information
   We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you Services contact us at Photofliks Inc.. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We will respond to your request to access it within 30 days. If we do respond faster, please do not be alarmed, we are just focused on moving quickly.
2. Choices Regarding Control of Your Personally Identifiable Information
   Occasionally we may send out emails concerning website disruptions and we hope that during these “dark” times you will stay with us. If you indicate upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from other partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only Photofliks Inc. (or agents working on behalf of us and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings, and only if you did not later ‘opt-out’ of such offers. For instance, if we were to partner with a really solid “Fair-Style-Turkey-Leg” vendor, it would be reasonable to receive an email encouraging you to try out the fabulous flavor found within one of those turkey legs.
   We do not send unsolicited commercial e-mails (“spam”). We offer commercial e-mail recipients the opportunity to opt-out of further communications in every email because we are just those kinds of people. Please note that we may not include the opt-out information in non-commercial Service emails (i.e., e-mails concerning your order, the Website Terms and Conditions of Use, etc.). You also have choices with respect to cookies once we hire the right people who have the right technical skills to make that kind of technology possible. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies some parts of our website may not work properly in your case, but at least you are cookie free.
3. Information Related to Data Collected Through the Photofliks Inc. Platform Service
   For certain services Photofliks Inc. collects information under the direction of its clients (e.g., an entity that subscribes to the Services for use by the entity’s personnel). In this respect, Photofliks Inc. acts as a data processor and has no direct relationship with the individuals whose Personally Identifiable Information it processes, and this is a good thing. If the client makes a request to us to remove the data, we will respond to their request within 30 days so long as you email us. The Company will retain Personally Identifiable Information we process on behalf of our clients for as long as needed to provide our services to our client. We will retain and use this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Your information will not be saved inside of Al Gore’s infamous “Lock Box.”
4. Data Security
   All information you provide to us is stored on our servers. Access by you to your account is available through a password and/or unique user name selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone, except for your significant other, but even then we recommend that this information only be shared via whisper-in-the-ear technology. If you were to say your password out loud to someone using an “outside voice” that just wouldn’t be safe. We also recommend that you change your password often using a combination of letters and numbers, and that you ensure you use a secure web browser. We cannot be held accountable for activity that results from your own neglect to safeguard the secrecy of your password and username. For instance, if you were to write your password onto a t-shirt that you chose to wear to a New York Yankee professional baseball game or to “the gym” we couldn’t stop potential hackers. If you share a computer with anyone, you should always log out of your account after you are finished, in order to prevent access to your information from subsequent users of that computer. Another move that the Founder of Photofliks Inc. recommends is unplugging the computer and taking the cord with you. This might upset your roommate, but it gets the job done.
   Please notify us as soon as possible if your username or password is compromised via email.
   Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Website cannot be guaranteed and we shall have no liability to you or any third party for loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration of such information; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
   In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personally Identifiable Information in our control may have been compromised, we will notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. To the extent we have your email address, we may notify you by e-mail and you consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use another method to notify you in this situation, please email us with the alternative contact information you wish to be used.
5. Cookies and Other Technologies
   When you use our website we may use cookies (not real cookies) and other technologies (not desserts) in order to facilitate and customize your use of our Services. What is a cookie? A cookie is a small data text file, which a website stores on your computer or mobile device (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. A cookie is also a small and usually rounded dessert item that Americans and non-Americans enjoy in a variety of ways.
   Our cookies store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the country where you are located, and your first name to welcome you back to our website. The cookies make your use of the Website easier, make the website run more smoothly, and save your logged-in state so that you do not have to log in each time that you visit the website. The use of cookies by our partners, affiliates, tracking utility companies and service providers, is not covered by our Privacy Policy, which we realize is personally devastating to many. We do not have access or control over these cookies. Our partners, affiliates, tracking utility companies, and service providers, use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site, in order for you to use the shopping cart, etc.
   You can disable and/or delete all types of cookies by using your browser settings. Cookies are generally easy to disable and/or delete but how you do so varies from browser to browser. The “help” function within your browser should tell you how to do it. The best way may be to close your browser and then search for “cookie folder” or “cookie manager” or simply “cookie”. Please also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information about cookies and how to disable them. If you are looking for dessert cookies, please feel free to visit your local store. If you do disable cookies, our website will not recognize you and you may not have access to all portions of the website.
   What are clear gifs? Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the full-stop or period at the end of this sentence.
   We partner with third party ad networks to manage our advertising on other sites. As part of their service, they use cookies and clear gifs. We will not provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable Information or information about your purchases. We and our third party ad server will collect and use your IP address and certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular advertisement. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads then we respect that, but we currently have no way to help you without encouraging you to cancel your account.
   What is a Flash cookie? Local storage objects, also known as “Flash cookies”, are similar in function to browser cookies in that they store some information about you or your activities on our website. We use Flash cookies in certain situations where we use Flash to provide some content such as video clips or animation. The options within your browser may not prevent the setting of Flash cookies

1. Links to Third Party Websites and Advertisers
   Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Our website may contain hyperlinks to other third-party websites, which may collect and disclose information in a manner that is different from our website. We are not responsible for the collection, use, or disclosure of information collected through these third-party web sites, and we expressly disclaim any and all liability related to such collection, use, or disclosure. We recommend that you read the privacy policies of the other websites you visit. We also recommend that you read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Additionally, other companies that place advertising on our website may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of information. You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect. For additional ways to spend massive amounts of time we recommend that you might consider mowing your lawn using tweezers or committing yourself to walking backwards or going back to college to earn a degree related to philosophy.
2. Notice to California Residents – California Privacy Rights
   If you are a California resident we apologize for your State’s laws. The founder of Photofliks Inc. believes that your laws should be more similar to the laws of Texas or Oklahoma and that the genius lawmakers who are in charge of leading your state would discover the magic of spending less money than you bring in and that raising taxes actually slows down an economy. If you have provided us with Personally Identifiable Information, California law gives you the right to request and receive from us, once per calendar year, information as to how we have shared your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and we are excited about this. If applicable, such information would include a list of names and addresses of all third parties with whom such information was shared during the prior calendar year as well as a list of the categories of Personally Identifiable Information shared. To make such a request, please send an email to Photofliks Inc. and include the phrase “California Privacy Request” in the subject line. Your request must also include your name, physical mailing address and email address. We will respond to you within thirty days of receiving such a request. If you would like to request a commercial building permit within the city limits of a major Californian city we don’t have any advice for you.
   Note, that we will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties for their marketing purposes without obtaining your prior consent. Moreover, if you have granted us permission, such third parties’ use of your Personally Identifiable Information will be subject to their privacy policies. You should contact those entities directly regarding any communications you may receive from them, including, if you later decide that you no longer want that third party to use your personal information or if you are going through one of those personal phases in your life where you are “pretty sure” you no longer want that third party to use your personal information.
3. Changes to this Privacy Policy
   It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page, because we know that you love it so much. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ information that is our choice and a choice that we wouldn’t make lightly. The choice would be heavy. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of this page so that you can mark your calendar with a mark that reads “FUN DAY” on this day. Up to this date to this date you are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for yourself. For a good time, we periodically recommend that you visit our Website and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
   Your continued use of the Services after such modifications will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment of the modified Privacy Policy; and (b) agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy. Continuing to use this service also indicates to us that you are awesome.
4. Communities, Forums, Chat Rooms, and Message Boards
   If you choose to disclose Personally Identifiable Information on communities, message boards, forums, and the like, which may be accessible via the website, you should be aware that such information, along with any information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties, which we know you are excited about. To request removal of your personal information from us contact us. You acknowledge and accept that any submissions to chat rooms or other public areas on the website are accessible to all third parties. If you do not want your comments to be viewed by third parties, you are advised not to make any submissions. If you have consumed four bottles of wine on Tuesday night and you should go onto one of these forums and make massively regrettable statements we salute you. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for all activity conducted by you via communities, forums, message boards, chat rooms, etc. Please wear a helmet, wear a seatbelt, look both ways, stop drop and roll when on fire, avoid conversations with strangers, don’t answer the door when your parents aren’t home, be aware that the hot coffee you just bought is hot, stay off of your cell phone while pumping gas, don’t give your bank account information to a Saudi Prince, and be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
5. Social Media Features
   Our website includes various Social Media Features that do various things at various times for various people, which are justified for various reasons. These features may collect your IP address, which pages you are visiting on our website, and may set cookies to enable the features to function properly.
