Privacy Policy

(Last updated: August 15, 2006)

READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY BRANDESIGNS SERVICE. THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (referred to herein as "Customer") AND Brandesigns.

Brandesigns Privacy Policy

Brandesigns policies and procedures for handling customer information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, Brandesigns policies and procedures are subject to change.

In the course of serving its customers, Brandesigns acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to Brandesigns by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by Brandesigns in the normal course of providing service. Brandesigns also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer for various reasons. For example, Brandesigns uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within Brandesigns. In addition, Brandesigns may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

Data Security

Brandesigns will protect the confidentiality of its customers' information, account information and personal communications in consistency with the law and the legitimate interests of Brandesigns, its partners, its employees and other customers of Brandesigns services.

How is customer information used?

Brandesigns may use customer information to provide its customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products. Brandesigns does not rent, sell, or share customer data or personal information with any third parties.

Opt Out & Modifications

Customers may opt out of receiving notices of new or upgraded products from Brandesigns and Brandesigns partners by sending an Email to newsflash@brandesigns.net, or by following the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of any Email notice that they receive from Brandesigns. However, customers may not opt out of receiving information from Brandesigns which is essential for maintaining or updating customers' accounts or system information.

Most customers may access and modify their personal information via their online personal control panel/account information page. All other customers may access and modify their personal information by contacting commerce@brandesigns.net

Disclosure of customer information and communications

Brandesigns will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and account information unless Brandesigns has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of Brandesigns, Brandesigns customers, or others, or where Brandesigns has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.

Brandesigns also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that Brandesigns stores or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which Brandesigns will disclose such electronic customer communications are when:

1. it is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
2. it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Brandesigns and its customers;
3. it is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process that Brandesigns determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and
4. it is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by Brandesigns and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.

Brandesigns disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. Brandesigns will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm Brandesigns, its customers or third parties. The grounds on which Brandesigns may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of Brandesigns Acceptable Use Policy.
