Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy
we provide this notice explaining our online information practices
and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected
and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available
on every page at the bottom right of the screen as well as at
every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
The Information We Collect:
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted
on the Blue Planet Photography website (except as noted
below). On some pages, you can order products, make requests,
and register to receive materials. The types of personal
information collected at these pages are:
-
Name
Mailing/billing address
Shipping address
Email address
Phone number
Credit/Debit Card Information (however, this information is not retained or stored)
On some pages, you may be asked to submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient's address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected are:
-

Several pages of this site (portfolio and gallery pages, shopping cart, newsletter subscription sign-up) are hosted by a third party (PhotoShelter, www.photoshelter.com; EprocessingNetwork, www.eprocessingnetwork.com; Emailbrain, www.emailbrain.com). Other secure e-commerce pages are also redirected and processed by PhotoShelter (stock image licensing and some print ordering). The privacy policy link on those pages will direct you to the appropriate vendor's privacy policy.
The Way We Use Information:
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order
only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside
parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
We offer gift certificates by which you can personalize a product you order for another person. Information you provide to us to create a gift certificate is only used for that purpose, and it is only disclosed to the person receiving the gift ("From Bob", for example).
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses may be used by Blue Planet Photography, LLC for internal solicitations to subscribe to our newsletter(s). Email addresses are never shared with outside parties without expressed permission from you.
You can register with our website if you would like to receive our catalog as well as updates on our new products and services. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you request it via our Contact or Newsletter form.
We may use non-identifying and aggregate information gathered using third party site visitation statistics to better design our website.
Finally, we never use or share any personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to those described above without providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
correct use of information, we use appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures and secure processes through our
third party providers to safeguard and secure the nformation we collect
online. To protect personal information, Blue Planet Photography, LLC
uses established security standards for access to this information. However,
we cannot guarantee that the information submitted to, maintained on,
or transmitted from our systems will be completely secure.

from you, such as for our newsletter subscription(s) or for some credit
card and purchase transactions. We make sure to review privacy policies
of third party vendors to help ensure your privacy is protected. However,
we are not responsible for the acts of third party vendors. If you wish
