Although you may access this Website without registering, if you are interested in obtaining information, products or services from JLM Visuals, or in participating in certain other activities on this website (such as submitting a comment or question), you may need to provide us with information about yourself. For example, if you wish to purchase a limited license to use a particular image, we ask for your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number and in some cases, your credit card number. If you are ordering a CD of images as a gift for another person, we will ask you for that person's name, postal address and phone number in order to enable us to deliver the gift to the recipient. If you telephone us to license one or more images for publication in a textbook, or to discuss offering your photographs on our website, we may need to obtain your name, telephone number and other contact information. In addition, we may combine personally identifiable information that you have provided to us with other information that is publicly available or that we receive from other sources.


Other Information Collected Through Technology

In addition to information you choose to provide to us, we also use standard Internet technologies to collect certain additional information through automated functions. For example, when you visit our website, we collect your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, which identifies the computer or internet service provider whom you use to access the website. We may use IP addresses to help determine how often specific visitors visit various parts of our website, and combine this information with other personally identifiable information that we have collected to make our website and communications more targeted to your interests.

Our website also uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's computer and allow websites to remember information about users. We use cookies for a number of different purposes in order to enhance the quality of our website. We use transient (also called "session ID") cookies to provide continuity from page to page. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. We also use persistent cookies. Persistent cookies allow our website to recognize your browser when you return after your first visit. Cookies allow us to personalize your return visits to our website and to save you time during certain activities, such as checking out from our online store. You can choose to remove persistent cookies through your browser options. However, if you do so, your ability to use some areas of our website will be limited, and your experience on our website may not be as satisfying to you.

Personal Information Use

JLM Visuals may use your personally identifiable information to deliver the products and services that you request, enhance your experience on our website, provide you with informational and/or promotional materials that you might find interesting, and for internal business analysis and other business purposes consistent with this policy. These uses may generally be categorized as relationship maintenance uses and promotional uses. We describe these uses in more detail below.

Relationship Maintenance Uses

JLM Visuals uses your personally identifiable information to maintain and manage your account, deliver images that you have requested, and generally enhance your experience on our website. Collectively, we refer to these types of uses as "Relationship Maintenance Uses," and they include all of the ways in which we use your personally identifiable information to maintain and manage our relationship with you with the exception of sending promotional materials. Examples of Relationship Maintenance Uses include, but are not limited to:

• Processing and tracking your registration on our Website
  
• Processing and tracking your orders
  
• Processing and tracking your payments
  
• Providing any services or information you request
  
• Contacting you about the status of an order
  
• Sending you other communications
  
• Sending you updates to our privacy policy
  
• Making changes to Web-based features

JLM Visuals may also use your personally identifiable information to provide you with promotional information about activities, services and products offered by us or selected third parties, including promotional material that you have requested. We strive to select trustworthy, reputable companies who offer high quality products or services of interest to you. If you wish, you may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by mail, e-mail, or telephone, as explained below and in the section entitled "Your Choices." And, we will not share your e-mail address with third parties for promotional purposes unless you consent to such sharing by affirmatively agreeing to it. Examples of promotional uses include, but are not limited to:

• Providing you with information about educational opportunities
  
• Providing you with promotional materials about JLM Visuals products and services
  
• Providing you with e-mail newsletters
  

JLM Visuals may provide you with promotional materials by postal mail, e-mail, telephone or other means. You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by mail, e-mail and/or telephone as provided in the "Your Choices" section below, and in the case of e-mail, you can always opt out of receiving subsequent promotional e-mails by clicking on the unsubscribe link that we provide in every such promotional e-mail message. Please keep in mind, however, that when you purchase or request products or services from JLM Visuals or our licensees, promotional materials may accompany delivery of that product or service. Any opt-outs that you may make will therefore not apply to these materials because they accompany products or services that you have requested.

INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

We take very seriously our responsibility to maintain your privacy with respect to your personally identifiable information. We will therefore share that information only with the following entities, and only in the manner described below.

Service Providers

JLM Visuals contracts with other companies to provide certain services on our behalf, including credit card processing, shipping, e-mail distribution, website maintenance, and promotions management. We provide these companies only with the information they need to perform their services, and they are permitted to use the information only for that specific purpose or as required by law, unless any additional use or sharing of the information is separately permitted under another provision of this Privacy Policy.

Other Third Parties for Promotional Purposes

JLM Visuals may share your personally identifiable information with other selected third parties so that they may send you promotional materials about goods and services that they offer. When we share your information for promotional purposes, we attempt to select only reputable companies that offer high-quality products and services. You have the opportunity to opt out of our sharing your personally identifiable information with these selected third parties for promotional purposes, as described below in the section entitled "Your Choices." And we will not share your e-mail address with third parties for promotional purposes unless you consent to such sharing by affirmatively agreeing to it on our e-mail newsletter registration page or elsewhere.

Legal Purposes; Business Transactions

JLM Visuals may disclose any user or customer information, including personally identifiable information, when we believe that doing so is required by law; may be necessary to protect the property, rights, or safety of ourselves, visitors to our websites, or other persons; or will help to enforce any terms of use or other rules. It may also be necessary to disclose our customers' personally identifiable information to third parties, such as credit card companies, to help resolve disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. JLM Visuals may also transfer user or customer information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale.

Aggregate Information (Non-personally identifiable information)

JLM Visuals may share with third parties aggregated information about you and other visitors to our website. When we do this, however, we make any personally identifiable information non-personally identifiable by combining it with information about other individuals or by removing characteristics that make the information personally identifiable to you. We share this information in order to improve our Web website and develop content and services that we hope will be of interest to you.

Your Choices

We understand the importance of protecting our customers' privacy, and we therefore provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of having your personally identifiable information used or disclosed for certain purposes. Receiving promotional communications from JLM Visuals is optional. If you do not wish to receive promotional communications from JLM Visuals, please call or write to us at the address below.

As described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, it is also optional to allow us to share your personally identifiable information with selected reputable third parties so that they can provide you with promotional communications. If you do not wish us to do so, please call or write to us at the address below.

You may also use this address and phone number to request us to update or change any of your personally identifiable information, or to request additional information regarding our disclosure of your personally identifiable information to certain third parties for promotional purposes.

As noted earlier in this Privacy Policy, JLM Visuals will not share your e-mail address with third parties for them to send you promotional communications unless you have opted in to such use. If you have previously opted in to such use, you may use the address and phone number above to notify us that you no longer wish to have us share your e-mail address with selected third parties for promotional purposes, or you may change your preferences by going to Your Account.

Because we plan our promotional communications in advance, it may take several weeks for your request to become effective. If, due to human error, you continue to receive our promotional communications, please contact us again and we will make every effort to correct the situation.

Links to Other Websites

We may provide links on our website to other websites that we think you may find useful. These websites operate independently of JLM Visuals and have established their own privacy and security policies. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our website and to read these policies at any website you visit.

Information Security

The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us, and we take a number of steps to safeguard any personally identifiable information or credit card information that you provide to us. We use data encryption technology to help protect against loss, misuse or alteration of your credit card information. Secure Socket Layers (SSLs) encrypt the credit card information sent between your computer and our database. However, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, and therefore we cannot warrant or guarantee that such information will never be accessed, used or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy.

Changes in this Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share your personally identifiable information, we will notify you by sending you an e-mail at the last e-mail address that you provided us and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on the websites covered by this Privacy Policy. In any event, changes to this Privacy Policy may affect our use of personally identifiable information that you provided us prior to our notification to you of the changes.
