Privacy Policy
PEPHOTOBOOKS and its subsidiaries respect your privacy.
This Privacy Statement informs you of our privacy practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected online and how that information is used. This statement is readily available on our home page and at the bottom of every PEPHOTOBOOKS Web page.
Links to non-PEPHOTOBOOKS websites
The PEPHOTOBOOKS website may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the PEPHOTOBOOKS website. PEPHOTOBOOKS does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from PEPHOTOBOOKS's practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by the PEPHOTOBOOKS Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.
2. Collection of personal information
To serve you better and understand your needs and interests, PEPHOTOBOOKS collects, exports, and uses personal information with adequate notice and consent, along with required filings with data protection authorities, when applicable. For example, when you order products or services, apply for instant credit, request information, subscribe to marketing or support materials, register yourself or your PEPHOTOBOOKS products, enter contests or participate in surveys, or apply for a job at PEPHOTOBOOKS, we will ask you to provide personal information to complete these transactions. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include contact information such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address; financial information such as your credit card number; and other unique information such as user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information, product and service preferences, contact preferences, educational and employment background, and job interest data.
PEPHOTOBOOKS also collects information from commercially available sources that it deems credible. Such information may include your name, address, email address and demographic data. The information PEPHOTOBOOKS collects from its commercial sources may be used along with the information PEPHOTOBOOKS collects when you visit PEPHOTOBOOKS's websites. For example, PEPHOTOBOOKS may compare the geographic information acquired from commercial sources with the IP address collected by Automatic Data Collection Tools to derive your general geographic area.
3. How we use your information
The information PEPHOTOBOOKS collects to understand your needs and interests helps PEPHOTOBOOKS deliver a consistent and personalized experience. For example, PEPHOTOBOOKS may use your information to
- assist you in completing a transaction or order;
- communicate with you about products and services;
- provide service and support;
- update you on new services and benefits;
- provide personalized promotional offers;
- select content to be communicated to you;
- personalize some PEPHOTOBOOKS websites;

- contact you for market research regarding PEPHOTOBOOKS products or services.
The testimonials posted on our Web site are only posted with the expressed permission of the individual or company who provided that testimonial.
Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention. Credit card information and other sensitive personal information required to process a credit decision is not used for any other purpose by our financial services providers or PEPHOTOBOOKS and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases.
4. How we share your information
PEPHOTOBOOKS will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others except as described in this Statement. PEPHOTOBOOKS shares personal information in the following ways:
PEPHOTOBOOKS retains service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions and to assist PEPHOTOBOOKS with marketing and communication initiatives. These providers and suppliers include, for example, credit card processors, providers of customer support and live-help, email service providers, automated data processors, and shipping agents. Suppliers and service providers are required by contract to keep confidential the information received on behalf of PEPHOTOBOOKS and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for PEPHOTOBOOKS.
From time to time, PEPHOTOBOOKS participates in marketing initiatives with other companies. As part of these initiatives, certain PEPHOTOBOOKS services and marketing communications are delivered at the same time as those from other companies. Some of these services and communications offer you the option to share personal information with both PEPHOTOBOOKS and the other companies participating in these initiatives. For example, you may receive marketing communications from PEPHOTOBOOKS and other companies or have the opportunity to register online for software products from multiple companies. If you choose to provide personal information only to PEPHOTOBOOKS, PEPHOTOBOOKS will not share this information with the other companies participating in that marketing initiative. If you choose to provide personal information to the other companies, that personal information will be handled according to the privacy policy of those companies.
PEPHOTOBOOKS will not share the personal information you provide to PEPHOTOBOOKS with non-PEPHOTOBOOKS third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of PEPHOTOBOOKS or its subsidiaries; or (iv) protect the personal safety of PEPHOTOBOOKS employees and third parties on PEPHOTOBOOKS property. Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, PEPHOTOBOOKS decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is PEPHOTOBOOKS's practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
5. Children's privacy
PEPHOTOBOOKS does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and does not target its websites to children under 13. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests.
6. Your choices and selecting your privacy preferences
The email communications that you receive from PEPHOTOBOOKS will be provided in accordance with this statement. Some email communications may utilize automatic data collection tools.
PEPHOTOBOOKS general communications
PEPHOTOBOOKS general communications provide information about products, services, and/or support. This may include new product information, special offers, or invitations to participate in market research.
7. Access to and accuracy of your information
PEPHOTOBOOKS strives to keep your personal information accurately recorded. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. PEPHOTOBOOKS provides individuals with reasonable access to personal information that they provided to PEPHOTOBOOKS and the reasonable ability to review and correct it or ask for anonymization, blockage, or deletion, as applicable. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to your data.
8. Keeping your personal information secure
PEPHOTOBOOKS takes seriously the trust you place in us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, PEPHOTOBOOKS utilizes appropriate physical, technical and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive information such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see the symbol of either an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) at the bottom of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payments and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, PEPHOTOBOOKS subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and PEPHOTOBOOKS an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud and to protect your financial data.
