Privacy Policy

As used herein, "Website" refers to the website located at www.cavanimages.com, whether accessed directly or indirectly through the same or other domain names, its affiliate sites, subdomains, mobile versions, and any associated applications that are owned and/or operated by the Cavan Images, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “us”, “we” or “Company”). By accessing and then using the Website, you indicate your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to access and continue to use the Website and you should not do so.

We reserve the right to change or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes or updates are effective immediately after we give notice of the change or update, which we may do by simply revising the “Date of Last Revision” date of this Privacy Policy or by otherwise posting on the Website, or by e-mail or conventional mail, and/or by any other means which provides you with reasonable notice. Your continued access and/or use of the Website after such notice is posted means that you accept these changes or updates. You agree that the Company shall not be liable to you for any damages that might result from any changes to the Privacy Policy, if any, to the extent you have been notified of the same, as set forth above.

We understand and respect your desire for privacy. To that end, we would like you to know how we will use the personal information you provide to us. We will only do so in a manner consistent with the Privacy Policy.

We (both directly and through third parties) collect personally identifying information when you register for and use the Website. This personally identifiable information may include, without limitation, your name, zip code, and e-mail address. We may also collect non-personally-identifiable information (such as your IP address or domain, or information about the manner by which you use the Website) both directly and through third parties, including through the use of Web beacons, for purposes of administration for the Website and to compile aggregate information about usage of the Website.

We have implemented appropriate safeguards to help and seek to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and to only make proper use of the information that we collect in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy. However, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your personal information as set forth above, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of any information you provide to us.

To unsubscribe from any future communications from us, follow the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the e-mail.  

POLICY FOR MINORS
The Website is intended only for inpiduals at least eighteen (18) years old. If you do not satisfy this age requirement, you are not permitted to continue to use or enter the Website.

PARENTS PLEASE READ: We do not permit those under the age of 18 (or older in some jurisdictions, if the age of Majority is older) to participate on or enter the Website, with or without your express consent. That is because we are seeking to enter into contractual and binding relationships with our Website users, including, the submission of Images for our evaluation and the transfer of all rights, including Copyrights, for those Images we select. Only if the user of our Website is 18 years or older can we and they enter into a binding contractual understanding.

No information should be submitted to or posted on the Website by any Minor (a user under 18 years of age) with or without the consent of a parent or guardian. No information should be submitted to or posted on the Website by any person under 18 years of age. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, we do not knowingly provide any personally identifying information about Minors, regardless of its source, to third parties, nor is this information knowingly used by us for any marketing or promotional purposes. Minors are not allowed to participate in contests or sweepstakes on the Website. If you do not satisfy this age requirement, you are not permitted to use or enter the Website.

POLICY FOR ADULT USERS

We collect personal information from users of the Website in order to provide users with a personalized online experience and to provide our advertisers a way to reach the best audience. We may share the personal and aggregate information we collect with our affiliates and other sites operated by and for us. On a confidential basis, we may also share personal information with our corporate affiliates or consultants, or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf (such as general administration purposes for the Website). We may elect to share aggregate information with third parties for advertising, promotional or any other lawful purposes. If all or part of the Company is sold, merged or is otherwise transferred to another entity, the information you have provided on or through the Website may be transferred to such entity as part of that transaction. We may also disclose personal information in response to legal process--a legitimate request by law enforcement, a court order or subpoena, or to protect the integrity of the Website if we believe that a user has committed unlawful or otherwise harmful acts.

With the permission of users, granted by completion of the Registration process and reading and agreeing to the Privacy Policy, personal information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by us.  

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES

The Website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that the Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Website and to read the privacy policy and statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. Our Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by our Website.

THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING

We may use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to deliver ads to you on our behalf when you visit the Website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) gleaned from your visits to the Website and other web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services which they believe may be of interest to you.

USE OF IP ADDRESSES

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you log on to the Web. Web servers automatically thus identify your computer by its IP address, so when a user requests pages from the Website over a computer, the server records the user's IP address. The IP addresses of our users are collected only for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, our corporate affiliates or consultants, or are shared with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf. We do not combine IP addresses with any personally identifying information, nor do we compile any session activity reports based upon or relating to IP address(es).

USE OF COOKIES

On the Internet and in cyberspace, “cookies” are pieces of information that a website transfers to an inpidual's computer and/or hard drive. Often this is for record-keeping purposes but often it is also to enable you to come back to the Website and access and use the same without full Re-Registration.

Cookies make using the Internet and Web “surfing” easier by saving your passwords, purchases and preferences while you're online. The use of cookies is an industry standard. You'll find them delivered to your computer from most major websites.

We also use cookies to help us determine which areas and topics are popular and which are not. This helps us to target ads based on user interests, and also helps us to improve and update the Website based on such data—such as total number of distinct users and specific pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.   A cookie allows us to store the personal preferences that you establish during each visit to each of the Websites, which in turn allows us to speed up your future activities at the Website. Letting cookies do the record keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again. If you have registered and created an account on the Website, an identifying cookie will be placed onto your computer. During future visits to the Website, we will read and retrieve information that we have set in a cookie during that visit or in an earlier visit to the Website.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers on the Website, as well. The Company does not control these cookies, and they are not subject to our Privacy Policy. Advertisers do not have access to our Website’s cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.

Most Internet browsers (like Microsoft’s Explorer; Apple’s Safari, etc.) are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse the use of cookies on your computer or to alert you when cookies are being sent by the Website or advertiser. However, it is possible that some parts of the Website will then not function properly if you do so.
