POLICY |

PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY.
BY USING THE GRAFXEMPORIUM SITE, YOU AGREE AND ABIDE
BY THE CONDITIONS OUTLINED BELOW.
Your
privacy on the Internet is important to us.
As part of the
operations of GrafxEmporium, we gather certain types
of information about GrafxEmporium users. This Privacy
Policy explains the types of information GrafxEmporium
collects and what we do with it. By using our web
site, you agree to the following Privacy Policy, which
constitutes an agreement between GrafxEmporium and
you. Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy may change
from time to time and the most current versions are
always accessible by clicking on the links at the

COLLECTING
INFORMATION
|
|
|
GrafxEmporium
collects two types of information about users: personal
information, such as name and e-mail address, and
aggregate information (such as information about
how many users log on to our site on a daily basis)
all which is kept completely confidential by GrafxEmporium.
Personal
Information
is collected when users voluntarily submit information
via our online electronic forms. These forms include
services such as requesting web design templates,
purchasing graphic services, applying to our Web
Award Program, or other promotional opportunities
provided on our site. We also collect e-mail addresses
from users who send us feedback mail or request
technical support or other help. This information
enables GrafxEmporium to improve our site to make
your online visits more productive and enjoyable
as well as compile statistics for our Web
Award Program.
Our Web Award applicants agree within the submission
form to have the following information posted; site
name, url address, a screenshot image and a brief
description of the winning site.
Aggregate
Information •
One method of collecting aggregate information about
your activities online (such as the pages you access
most frequently), and information volunteered by
you (such as demographic application information),
is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
An IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you surf the
Web. Computers that deliver web pages to you automatically
identify your computer by its IP address. When you
request a page from one of our sites, our servers
log your IP address.
We
never sell, rent, or otherwise share our visitors'
personal information with any third parties. We
will disclose information we maintain as required
by law, for example, in response to a court order
or a subpoena or to disclose information to a specific
law enforcement agency.

COOKIES
|
|
| Our
site does NOT use 'cookies'
to record information. A cookie is a small data file
that web sites store on your hard drive when you visit
them. Cookies allow sites to measure activity and
to improve a user's experience by remembering passwords
and viewing preferences, and allowing users to visit
various members-only parts of sites without re-registering.
Cookies allow sites to determine which areas and features
of their sites are most popular by measuring user
activity. |
