Information about Privacy on Studio 301

Studio 301 is committed to protecting your privacy. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting Studiola301.com, you accept the practices that are described in this Privacy Notice. You can visit most pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need the information to provide services that you request, and this privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. This privacy statement only applies to Studio 301 – Photo Lab; it does not apply to other offline sites, products, or services. Please read the complete Studio 301 privacy statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

We will ask you when we need personal information or information that allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are registering before: entering a contest, ordering email newsletters, joining a limited-access premium site, signing up for an event or training, or when purchasing and/or registering Studio 301 products. Personal information collected by Studio 301 is often limited to an email address, language, country, or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

We may use your personal information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional material, and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out from receiving email communications by clicking on the UNSUBSCRIBE link provided in the emails we send or through your Studio 301 account by unchecking the Receive Promotions option.

You will automatically be opted-in when creating a new account or during the checkout process. However, you will have the option to opt out from receiving promotional emails by un-checking the subscription box on the given page.

For example, if you choose a service or transaction that requires payment, such as making a purchase in the “Shop” area of the website, we will request the personal information necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as name, address, telephone number, and credit card number.

When you buy a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. We keep this registration information on file with any information you’ve already given us on previous visits to our website.

Studio 301 also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of Studio 301.

Studio 301 also collects information about which pages our customers visit within Studiola301.com. This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal information.

Use of your Personal Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:
To ensure our site is relevant to your needs.
To deliver services, such as newsletters, which you request.
To alert you of product upgrades, special offers, updated information, and other new services from Studio 301, if you so request.
To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our site, when appropriate.

We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for research purposes, and we may use this information to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of Studio 301, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal information in order to provide you with personalized content. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail, and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Control of your Personal Information

When you register or otherwise give us personal information, Studio 301 will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

Studio 301 may send out periodic emails informing you of a product or service you requested or confirming you requested a product or service. You will not be able to unsubscribe to these mailings as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.

Access to your Personal Information

Studio 301 will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. If you register at Studiola301.com, you can review and edit your personal information under “My Account.” You will be asked to enter your username and password before viewing your personal information. Under “My Account”, you can view and edit personal information you have already given to Studio 301.

Security of your Personal Information

Studio 301 is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
