Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services.

What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide

Registration Information.
You will provide us information about yourself, your firm or company, and your practices when you submit your photos to Penelope Pilot Project, register for certain services, or register for email newsletters and alerts. You may also provide additional comments on how you see the Penelope Pilot Project servicing your needs and interests.

Email Information.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.

2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or control over those cookies.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you use our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.

Sharing Information with Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We use your non-personally identifiable information to statistically analyze site usage, and improve our sites content, offering, and layout. Your IP address may be used to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Web site, and for security needs.

The only third party services providers that we use are a third party to provide secure credit card transactions and a web hosting company to host our site. If you make a purchase via credit card, you will be required to provide to our third party credit card processing provider the type of information typically required to complete any on-line purchase. In such a case, we do not receive any such information back from our credit card processing company. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose including their own marketing purposes.

We may release personally identifiable information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
• Enforce or apply the terms of our user agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of our users or others.

Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
While transmission of information over the Internet cannot be guaranteed 100% secure, we make every effort to provide protection for the information that we collect about you. Every purchase transaction on our website utilizes secure server technology with a digital SSL certificate in order to protect your financial information. It is our policy to never sell or share traceable information about our users to third parties without user permission.

However, to avoid unauthorized use of your account by others, you must take steps to control your password.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to

1. conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties;
2. protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of our site, and/or our affiliated parties;
3. act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our site, us, or third parties.

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.

Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
