Legal Notices

Privacy Policy

• Personal information (such as name and email address); and,
• Aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to our site on a daily basis).

Personal Information

Within pixboomba.com, you may be asked to give us personal information, such as when you ask a question via email that requires a response. Pixboomba.com will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide it to us (except for IP addresses described below in "Aggregate Information").

We will not voluntarily sell, give away, or trade names, addresses or any personally identifiable information about our site users (without their express permission) to any third parties. We will not otherwise release such information unless not doing so endangers the Web site or is required by law or in the courts.

Aggregate Information

One method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most frequently or the search terms you enter), and information volunteered by you (such as survey information), is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to you automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our site, our server logs your IP address.

Our site records IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the use of our site. We also create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows these parties to advertise more effectively and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to your personal interests. An advertiser will not know that you clicked its advertisement unless you voluntarily and explicitly permit us to provide such information.

Use of Information Collected by pixboomba.com

Pixboomba.com uses the personal information we collect to:

• Improve the content of our site;
• To customize the content and/or layout of our site for each individual user;
• To notify users about updates to our sites or promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will be of interest to users;
• To fulfill requests for information, services, or products that our users make of our Web site; and
• To investigate violations of our terms and conditions of use.

Sharing Data with Third Parties

Pixboomba.com shares aggregate information with third parties for advertising and promotional purposes.
Occasionally, we may post the name of a user (for example, a photo contest winner or letter writer) on our site. Pixboomba.com will notify you of this possibility when you provide your information or, if possible, will notify you when the information is posted.
Pixboomba.com may use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our Web site. This company may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to our site and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. In addition, we may share Web site usage information about visitors to our sites with this company for the purpose of managing and targeting advertisements on our Web site and other Web sites. For this purpose, we and our third-party advertising company may note some of the pages you visit on our Web site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs or single-pixel gifs). In the course of serving advertisements to this Web site, our third-party advertising company may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your computer.

Such third party vendors use cookies to serve ads on pixboomba.com. The vendor’s use of cookies enables it to serve ads based on your visit to pixboomba.com and other sites on the Internet. You may learn more and may opt out of the use of such advertising cookies cookie by visiting the Opt Out of Behavioral Advertising page of the Network Advertising Initiative.

Information posted to bulletin boards is available to the general public. Please use caution when posting any such information. Users of bulletin boards must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online.

Links to and from Other Sites

Our site contains links to sites other than pixboomba.com; similarly, other sites link to pixboomba.com. These sites may not follow the same privacy policies as pixboomba.com. Pixboomba.com does not control the content that appears on these sites. Such sites may contain information that content providers independent of pixboomba.com have created, maintained, published, posted, or otherwise made available.

The use of any information or materials that you may access at these external sites is purely voluntary.

Children's Guidelines

We believe that it is especially important to protect children's privacy online. We encourage parents to get involved with their children's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating. Note: We define "children" as minors younger than 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect or use any personally identifiable information from children, and we do not provide any personally identifiable information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever from our visitors younger than 13 years old. We do not knowingly allow children to register with us or to participate in any of our promotions or contests. No information should be submitted to or posted at pixboomba.com by visitors younger than 13 years old. In the event that pixboomba.com obtains information from an individual who indicates that he/she is younger than 13 years old, pixboomba.com will promptly discard the personally identifiable information without collecting, using, or disclosing such information to any third party. You should be aware that if your child voluntarily discloses his or her name, email address, or other information on any Web site, such disclosures might result in unsolicited messages.

Additional Information

No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secured. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of pixboomba.com to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, pixboomba.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
Pixboomba.com reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any such changes will be posted online. E-mail us with any questions.
