Any archived information is also kept in a secured location. What is a "cookie"? Does Creative Photography and Video use them? Yes, cookies are an integral part of efficiently and easily storing and retrieving information A cookie is information that Creative Photography and Video puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you at a later time. Typically, a cookie records your preferences when using a particular site. Using the Web's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), each request for a Web page is independent of all other requests. For this reason, the Web page server has no memory of what pages it has sent to a user previously or anything about your previous visits. A cookie is a mechanism that allows Creative Photography and Video's server to store its own information about a user on the user's own computer. You can view the cookies that have been stored on your hard disk (although the content stored in each cookie may not make much sense to you). The location of the cookies depends on the browser. Internet Explorer stores each cookie as a separate file under a Windows subdirectory. Netscape stores all cookies in a single cookies.txt fle. Opera stores them in a single cookies.dat file. Cookies are commonly used to rotate the banner ads that a site sends so that it doesn't keep sending the same ad as it sends you a succession of requested pages. They can also be used to customize pages for you based on your browser type or other information you may have provided us. Web users must agree to let cookies be saved for them, but, in general, it helps Creative Photography and Video to serve users better. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user may be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place. Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Can I delete personally identifiable information on the site? Yes you can. If you no longer want any information about you in our database, contact us and you're information will be removed from the database immediately. Are my pictures available for public viewing? Your site is password protected and only those people that you give the password to will have access to your event photos. If there are any images you would like deleted or altered, or any information (such as password, names, date) you would like to change please don't hesitate to contact us 215-815-5374. What do you do with survey responses? From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Your responses are completely confidential and are used to help us tailor our services to you. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. We appreciate your participation in the on-going development of our service. Referral Promotional Programs If a user elects to participate in any of our promotional referral programs for directing guests to our site, we will ask them for the friend's name and email address. Creative Photography and Video will automatically send the friend an e-mail inviting them to visit the site. Creative Photography and Video stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this e-mail. The guest may contact Creative Photography and Video to request the removal of this information from our database. Changes to privacy policy Creative Photography and Video reserves the right from time to time to make changes to its Privacy Policy. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post an alert to the changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email if you have "opted-in" to receive e-mail notifications. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
