Picuzzi Privacy Policy
Updated 9/24/2009
Picuzzi.com, owned and operated by Linemark Printing, Inc, ("Picuzzi.com," "we," "us") respects your privacy, including the privacy of your information and your pictures. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at Picuzzi.com (the "Site") and our other services, and how we use this information to provide outstanding service to you.
By accessing and using the Site or other services owned and/or operated by Linemark (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.
If you feel that Picuzzi is not abiding by this Privacy Policy, you should contact us. Picuzzi's offices are located at 501 Prince Georges Blvd. Upper Marlboro, MD 20774. We will do our best to resolve your inquiry.
Picuzzi.com’s Privacy Policy is designed to help you:
By using or accessing Picuzzi.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy, as modified by us from time to time.
When you visit Picuzzi.com, you provide us with two types of information:
We collect "Personal Information" that you submit to us voluntarily through our Web Site:
When you access Picuzzi.com, we collect non-personally-identifiable information including your browser type, operating system, domain names, and IP Address. We use different types of technologies to collect this information, including single-pixel GIFs. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate when the user closes the browser. Under other circumstances, including if you select the “Remember Me” option upon login, we use a persistent cookie, for example, to store your login ID (but not your password) to allow you to automatically login when you come back to Picuzzi.com. You can set your browser to refuse cookies; however, if you do so, some or all of the Web Site may not function properly or at all.
In general, information you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make or to aid us in serving you better, including to fix technical problems, provide administrative services, and monitor traffic, the number of visitors, and the effectiveness of programs. We may use aggregated user data to market the Web Site to others. We may provide these services ourselves or share the information with partners who will provide the services for us.
We may use your Personal Information to provide you with newsletters and surveys and to notify you of important changes to the Web Site, new services, and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email notices, you may opt out of receiving such email by sending an email to support@picuzzi.com. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or special offers. If we have provided any third party with your information, you will have to contact the third-party directly with any opt-out request.
If you provide feedback on any of our products and services to us, we may use such feedback for any purpose, provided we will not associate such feedback with your Personal Information. Picuzzi will collect any information contained in such communication and will treat the Personal Information in such communication in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) defines personal information as "individually identifiable information," including things like a first and last name, a street address, an email address, or a telephone number. COPPA places requirements on websites that collect such information from children. You must be at least 13 years or older to register and use this Service. If you are under the age of 13, you must use an account created by a parent or guardian, and you must have the explicit permission of a parent or guardian to use the Service.
We recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask their parents before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the internet.
We do not sell your Personal Information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your Personal Information with third parties only in limited circumstances. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and intend to do business only with companies that also comply. We will not sell your Personal Information to anyone we think is a spammer.
Unlike most sites on the Web, Picuzzi.com limits access to Web Site information by third party search engine “crawlers” (e.g., Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask). The Web Site is set up to block access by these engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture and headline.
We may provide collected information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Picuzzi.com, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to print the books that you order, or to provide search results or links. In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your Personal Information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any Personal Information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to Picuzzi.com-specified purposes. If we provide any of the information collected from you with a third party, their use of that information will be governed by their privacy policy.
For example: when you place an order for a printed copy of a book on Picuzzi.com, your billing information is transmitted to a third-party credit card processor.
We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas, law enforcement investigations, or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We also may release information to protect its rights, property, or other interests, including those of its customers or other third parties or to prevent illegal activities or violations of the Picuzzi.com Terms and Conditions. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents, or government agencies.
If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Picuzzi.com business, or individual business units owned by Linemark Printing, Inc., were to change, information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. We may also transfer information if we partner with another company.
Picuzzi.com may contain links to other web sites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Web Site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected via Picuzzi.com.
Picuzzi.com takes precautions to protect our users’ Personal Information; however, no precautions are 100% effective. As a result, Picuzzi.com does not guarantee that Personal Information you provide to us will remain secure. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of the Picuzzi.com Web Site, please contact us at support@picuzzi.com.
If you choose to visit Picuzzi.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to the then-current Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, including limitations and damages, arbitration of, and application of law of the state of Maryland. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time by posting any changes on the Web Site. All changes will take effect immediately upon their posting on the Web Site. If we make changes, we will indicate at the top of the page the policy’s effective date. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Your use of the Web Site after any changes to the Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
