Energize your brand

We understand our reader's concerns about privacy and protecting it is our commitment to you. Below we've outlined what information we collect, how we use this information and what security measures are in place to protect your information. If we make substantive changes to this policy, we'll announce it on our site and, if you have provided us with an email address, by sending a notice to that address. If you have questions or concerns regarding this policy, contact us via our contact form.

Does this site collect information and how is it used?

Our site collects only the IP address, Cookie ID (set by our site), and information volunteered by you, such as survey information and/or site registrations. We keep a record of the information that you knowingly provide and choose to opt-in, such as name, address, email address and email preferences. This information may be collected from registration pages, survey pages, requests for information from manufacturers in our database and/or newsletter sign-up pages. The information we collect is used to improve the content of our website, provide the best and most personalized web experience possible, provide our sponsors with aggregate data on customers reached and their demographics and to allow our manufacturers to fulfill specific requests for more information about their products. The email information you provide is only used for communication with you when you request email, to send you periodic information and special offers from Image Advertising and our sponsors, to provide updates on Image Advertising offerings and features, to provide you with product information you have specifically requested from manufacturers in our database, and to provide notice of changes to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Image Advertising conducts research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information you provide us when you register, participate in a contest or other promotion on our site, request information from a manufacturer in our catalog, request information from one of our advertisers, or from our server log files. This research is compiled and analyzed, and, except as described in this Privacy Policy, is disclosed only on an aggregated basis, so that information is only disclosed to third parties when grouped with the information of other users and is not associated with your name. We do this to better understand our users, improve your overall experience when using our service and to provide our sponsors with relevant aggregate data. From time to time, we may also collect information via surveys. Survey information will also used on an aggregated basis. Image Advertising may provide users with the opportunity to request additional information from product manufacturers in our catalog and/or from our advertisers. If you specifically request information from a manufacturer in our catalog and/or from one of our advertisers your demographic information will be shared with only the manufacturer and/or advertiser you are requesting information from, to allow them to decide the best way to fulfill your request.

With whom do we share this information?

Image Advertising does not disclose personally identifiable information about individual users, except as described in our Privacy Policy, to comply with applicable laws or valid legal process, or to protect the rights or property of Image Advertising. With the exception of providing your postal address to a trusted third party mail processing facility, who agrees to keep your information confidential, for application to mailings of the same types as those for which we would use your email information, we do not give, rent, lend, or sell individual information to third parties. Only aggregate information is provided to third parties. For example, we might tell advertisers that there are 10,000 registered users in Virginia, but we won't tell them that you are one of them. We may use this aggregated information to help the sponsors reach the kind of audience they want via our email advertising. Advertisers may give us an ad and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, marketing managers in the 94526 zip code). Image Advertising would then take the ad and display it in an email to users who "opted in" for email and who've told us they meet those criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to an individual's member profile. Only Image Advertising has access to an individual's member profile. Some or all of these contractors may access the databases of user information. These contractors are and will be subject to confidentiality agreements that restrict their use and disclosure of all information they obtain through their relationship with Image Advertising. We do retain the right to share and transfer all user information with a purchaser of our company or all or substantially all of our assets if that purchaser agreed to abide by the terms of this Policy.

What security measures are implemented to protect your information from accidental loss or disclosure?

Image Advertising is committed to protecting your personal information. All information that you provide to us is stored on our secure database servers. The profile page that displays your personal data is password-protected. We recommend that you do not share your passwords with anyone.

Image Advertising will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.

Also, if you are using a computer to which others have access, such as one in a computer lab, Internet café or public library, always remember to log out and close your browser window when leaving our site.

Image Advertising is committed to preserving the privacy and security of the personal information and data collected on our website www.imagead.com

This privacy policy is designed to inform you about the types of information we gather about you and your organization, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of that information. This policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.

In addition to our privacy policy, we also recommend you read our terms and conditions for important information regarding your rights and obligations, as well as limitations and exclusions, that apply to your use of the site.

1. What information do we collect from you?

Our site collects two types of information about its visitors: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information. Our primary goal in collecting information is to provide you with efficient and effective service while using our site.

Personally identifiable information: This refers to information that specifically identifies who you are. We request personally identifiable information when you set up an account, contact our customer service, fill out surveys or correspond with us. This information might include your name, mailing address, telephone number and/or email address.

Non-personally identifiable information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather this information each time you access our site. This information, compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis, may include the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the website you visited just prior to accessing our site, the URL you go to after leaving our site, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet and browse.

2. How do we use the information that we receive from you?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information from our clients and other visitors to our site is to provide those clients and visitors with a superior customized online and general customer care experience. We use client contact information to provide faster, more effective service in connection with your billing questions, to contact you regarding the status of your account, to track your billing and payment activity on your account, and to send promotional emails about products and services that may be of interest to them.

We may also perform statistical analysis of aggregate client behavior. For instance, we may analyze which pages on our site receive the most visitors or how long visitors spend reviewing those pages when visiting the site. This allows us to measure relative customer interest in the various areas of our site. We then use that information to improve the content of our site, to enhance your experience when visiting the site, to customize the content and/or layout of the site's pages and to provide the services required by our individual client.

3. With whom do we share your information?

The information collected by the site is used only for the limited purposes of contacting you regarding promotions, account status, keeping you informed about your account, for statistical purposes for improving the site and to notify you of items that may be of interest to you.

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. We may release account information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our terms and conditions or to protect the rights, property and safety of our users, others and ourselves.

Except as otherwise stated in this policy, at present we do not disclose our clients' personally identifiable information to other merchants. In the future, with your prior permission, we may provide some customer information to companies with products or services that may be of interest to you. This would be for marketing purposes only and no credit card number information would be given. Before agreeing to release your information, you should first confirm that our privacy policy is acceptable to you because once your data is released, we would have no further control over it.

From time to time, we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose personally identifiable information upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. As expressed in the terms and conditions that govern this site, we reserve the right to conduct an investigation and/or report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

We may assign or otherwise transfer to a third party certain of your information in connection with an assignment, sale, transfer or disposition of a portion or all of our business, assets, or stock.

4. Opting out

We provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference when setting up your online account with us.

If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us on our contact page or you may contact us at 925.838.2044 to opt out. You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.

5. Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can email us from our contact form or call us by phone toll free at 925.838.2044.
