FotoDesk Group AG (hereinafter referred to as "FotoDesk") is committed to protecting your privacy and recognizes that your privacy is important. The following privacy policy discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for performance of Services. By using FotoDesk’s website, services, software, and any features included in the services (referred to collectively as "Services" in this document), you agree to be bound by the terms of this policy.

Personal Information

Personal information is information that is unique to you, and includes your name, address, password, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, location information, product and service information, information on software downloads and updates, systems information, IP address, browser type, date and time of any request made to FotoDesk, content preferences, purchase information, and credit card billing information. You may also be required to set up a user ID and password, which may be considered personal information. FotoDesk may collect and store such personal information from you via our Services. Because protecting your information is important to FotoDesk, it does not sell or share any personal information to third parties, except in the contingencies provided in the agreement. Some of the Services that FotoDesk offers do not require you to provide any personal information. In order to provide certain services, FotoDesk may collect personal information. When you communicate with FotoDesk through email or other means, it may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests, and improve our Services. The information is stored on FotoDesk’s servers and is sent to and from such servers as part of routine product communication that enable software functionality.

FotoDesk uses this information to:

• Verify access rights to premium content, services, or software (that might be introduced in the future).

• Provide you with information about products, services, news, and events.

• Allow you to purchase and download products and/or services.

• Provide you with advertising, promotions, and special offers FotoDesk feels you may be interested in based on information you provide to FotoDesk.

• Provide you with personalised content, instructions, and services.

• Calculate license reporting, billing, royalty payments, and assessment of service levels.

• Understand on an aggregated basis how our products are used, traffic patterns, and what types of content and services are most popular with users of our products and services.

FotoDesk may use independent contractors to provide Services on our behalf. Such third parties may have access to your personal information in the course of providing Services on our behalf. Such third parties will take commercially-reasonable measures to keep your personal information safe, private, and secure.

Security

FotoDesk will take commercially-reasonable measures in providing secure transmission of your personal information from your personal computer to our servers and in securing such personal information stored in our systems. However, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet and that there is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while FotoDesk strives to protect your personal information, it cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of personal information you transmit to FotoDesk, and you do so at your own risk.

Access to personal information is restricted to FotoDesk employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our Services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations.
