also send you e-mail with information and/or special offers
about products and services that may be of interest to you;
unless you indicate you do not want to receive them. We will

regarding the receiving of promotional e-mail when you
register, when you provide us with your personal information,
or when we send you e-mail. If you choose not to accept this
promotional e-mail, you may not receive special offers that

From time to time,

Additionally,
PixFusion may from time to time display targeted third party
advertisements on its sites that may be of interest or benefit
to you
based on aggregate nonpublic personal information. If you

personal information about yourself, you may choose to reveal to
the advertiser or ad server that you possess the
characteristics used to select the audience for the
advertisement.
Personal
Information about Others
If
you send us information about others, we will use that

Information - Cookies
PixFusion
automatically receives and records data on our servers from
visitor"s browsers including computer IP (Internet Protocol)
addresses and other information through the use of cookies.

Protecting
Your Information
To
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and
ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place
certain physical, electronic, managerial and security
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect

security standards and procedures, such as using Secure Socket
Layer (SSL), and we continually assess new technology for
protecting information. PixFusion employees are trained to
understand and comply with these information principles and we
communicate our privacy policy, practices and guidelines to
all employees.
However,
while we strive to protect your personal information, you must
also take steps to protect your information. We urge you to
take every precaution to protect your personal information
while you are on the Internet. At a minimum, we encourage you
to change your passwords often, using a combination of letters
and numbers, and make sure that you are using a secure browser
as you surf the Internet. For more information about how you
can protect yourself online visit the site
Better Business Bureau Web Site.
Children"s
Privacy
Protecting the online privacy of children is especially
important, and those under the age of 13 are protected by
federal law. For that reason, PixFusion does not knowingly permit
children under the age of 13 to become registered members of
our sites, or to buy goods and services on our sites, without
verifiable parental consent. PixFusion does not knowingly collect
or solicit personal information about children under 13,
except with their parent"s express consent.
If
we ever include children under the age of 13 as part of our
intended site audience, those specific web pages will, in
accordance with the provisions of the Childrens Online
Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), be clearly identified and
provide an explicit privacy notice; and we will provide
processes to obtain parental approval, provide access to
information and allow parents to request removal of their
children"s personal information.
PixFusion
encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their
children online and to participate in their interactive
activities and interests. For more
information we suggest you check out the FTC"s site http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/index.html for more tips on protecting children"s
privacy online.
