PMI is very sensitive to your desire
to keep your personal information out of the hands of
those who would use such information improperly. Indeed,
we share the same concerns with respect to our own information
and data as well as the information and data of our customers
and business associates. To demonstrate our dedication
to respecting the privacy of your information, we have
developed this Privacy Policy to disclose what types
of information we may collect from you and how we might
use that information. This Privacy Policy applies to
Production Masters, Inc., or its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “ PMI ”, “ we ”, “ us ” or
the like)
For purposes of this Privacy Policy,
the term “ Website ” refers
to each of the web pages contained in all the websites
owned, operated or controlled by us, including any website
through which we may provide any of our products or services
(collectively, the “ Services ”).
As described below, some of your nonpublic personal information
is disclosed to affiliated and carefully selected nonaffiliated
third parties and used by us and such third parties. By
accepting our Terms of Use or
by using our Services, you expressly consent to our use
and disclosure of your nonpublic personal information in
the manner disclosed below. Please
note in particular that by accepting the Terms of Service
or by using our Services, you acknowledge and agree that
the Pennsylvania Electronic Transactions Act (“PETA”) applies to the transactions
conducted on or through the Website and that you and PMI
may conduct any transactions contemplated herein by electronic
means. This means that you expressly agree to receive
communications and disclosures from PMI, including those
relating to privacy matters, via electronic mail, the Website
or other electronic means .
Because of the rapidly evolving legal and business environment
surrounding privacy on the Internet, please be aware that
PMI must reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy
at any time, in which event we will provide you with reasonable
notice of the changes. Please bear in mind that this Privacy
Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose information
or data to other parties or other websites on the Internet,
including websites that you may reach through PMI's Website,
different rules or policies may apply.
What Nonpublic Personal Information of Mine
Does PMI Collect?
Information You Provide
PMI collects information that you
voluntarily submit during the registration process through
interactive questionnaires, applications or other forms. We may also offer additional
tools or Services or request other information from you
from time to time or through fashion chat rooms and bulletin
boards we may decide to offer on the Website. Should
you wish to not reveal this kind of information, you should
abstain from completing the applicable questionnaire, application
or form. Please be aware, however, that certain
information is required in order for us to provide the
Services. If you elect not to share required information,
you may not be able to receive such Services.
For most activities, we will need
to collect only your email address, password and a minimum
of five of your body measurements. We may also
ask you to provide additional optional information, such
as your name, address, age, phone number, additional
body measurements and other relevant information.
If you voluntarily send us any correspondence,
such as emails or letters, we may retain and use such
correspondence and information in a file specific to
you. Similarly,
if you voluntarily submit postings or otherwise participate
in any available chat rooms or bulletin boards on our Website,
such information will become publicly available.
Information We Collect Through Technology
In order to measure the usefulness
and efficiency of our Website, we automatically track
certain information from all our visitors. The types
of information we might track may include the Internet
address that you just came from, which Internet address
you go to, what browser you are using, your computer
operating system and your computer's unique Internet
Protocol address. We may also collect
information regarding apparel, garment and accessory purchases
you may make through websites operated or controlled by
third parties with whom we may have a business relationship.
Like most interactive websites, we
use “cookies” on certain
pages of our Website. “Cookies” are small data files that
are stored on your hard drive which store certain information
accessible to our Website, such as your email address,
password and other information you may voluntarily provide
through our registration process to permit us to provide
Services or which we may obtain through technology. You
are always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, although in that case you may not be able to use
certain features on our Website and you may be required
to reenter your password or provide other required information
more frequently during a session. Many World Wide
Web browser currently available allow you to adjust your
privacy preferences, so please consult the help files of
your particular browser for further information.
In addition, we collect nonpublic personal information
about you from your transactions and experience with us
or other third parties with whom we may have a business
relationship.
How Does PMI Use My Information?
We use your information to provide you the Services and
process transactions that you request.
If you have indicated your assent during the registration
process, we may use your email address, your mailing address
and phone number (if you voluntarily submit such information)
to contact you regarding administrative notices, new Service
offerings and communications relevant to your use of our
Website or products, services and special offers offered
by PMI and other third parties with whom we may have a
business relationship or which we otherwise feel you may
find of interest .
We may aggregate some or all of the information described
above in an effort to improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, to statistically analyze Website usage, to improve
our content and Service offerings and to customize our
Website's content, layout and Services. This information
is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis, and we
do not generally track an individual's nonpublic personal
information, although we may do so for our own internal
purposes and for any purposes permitted by law .
We may use your nonpublic personal
information to determine, and if necessary enforce, your
compliance with the Terms of Service. We may also
use your nonpublic personal information as otherwise
permitted by law.
What Categories of Information Does PMI Disclose
and to Whom is it Disclosed?
In order for PMI to offer you quality
Services, we work with some third parties. We may disclose to these
entities nonpublic personal information about you as necessary
to provide these Services to us for your benefit or directly
to you. We may also choose to disclose your information
to trusted nonaffiliated third parties in the future for
other purposes.
Co-Brand Service Providers . PMI may
offer a number of co-branded services and products with
nonaffiliated third parties, such as apparel, garment
and accessory designers, manufacturers, distributors
and retailers. If you
are eligible to use these types of services, we may provide
your nonpublic personal information to the co-brand provider
offering such services or products in order to permit you
to obtain or use the applicable products or services. Because
we do not control the privacy practices of these third
parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding
to obtain or use the co-branded products or services offered. In
addition, a co-brand provider may directly ask you for
certain information to assist it in providing you with
products or services.
Companies Offering Promotions, Products
or Services . On
occasion, we may decide to offer promotions – like product
giveaways – in conjunction with a sponsor. We will
share your information with the sponsors if they need it
to send you a product, such as a magazine subscription. We
may share your information with those sponsors so that
they can send you other special promotions they offer,
but only if you give us your permission to do so. In
addition, PMI occasionally sends email promotions out to
our Customers on behalf of third-party sponsors. In
this instance, we don't share your name with the third
party – we do the mailing for them. Again, we only
send these promotions to you if you've given your permission.
Suppliers and Service Providers . We may use some nonaffiliated
third party suppliers and service providers to directly
or indirectly provide Services to our customers, and we
may need to share your nonpublic personal information with
them in order to permit them to provide the products and
services. In some instances, the third party supplier or
service provider may collect information directly from
you. You should note, however, that you may not be able
to obtain a particular product or service without us or
you providing the information requested.
In Accordance With Law . PMI expressly reserves the right
to disclose or report any of your information to any third
party as permitted by law, including, without limitation,
in circumstances where we reasonably deem it necessary
to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations,
to cooperate with government or industry regulators and
law enforcement officials, to perform any necessary credit
checks or collect or report debts owed to us, or to protect
our rights or property.
Marketing and Advertisers . We may
disclose nonpublic personal information we collect, as
aggregated or otherwise, to nonaffiliated third parties
who perform marketing services on our behalf or to other
entities with whom we may have joint marketing arrangements
in order to make a variety of products or services available
to you. We do
collect nonpublic personal information as described above
and may in the future disclose such nonpublic personal
information to nonaffiliated third party advertisers.
Purchase or Sale of Business . Online business
is still in a very early stage and is changing and evolving
rapidly. As PMI continually looks for ways to improve
our business, we may buy or sell a company. If we
buy or sell a business, the information and data collected
will likely be transferred as a part of the sale. Information
about users will be used in the aggregate. However,
if we buy a business, we will use best efforts to honor
the requests that customers made of that business regarding
their nonpublic personal information. In the event
that we sell a business, we will do everything reasonably
within our power to ensure that the nonpublic personal
information requests you made of us are honored.
How Can I Review and Change My Personally
Identifiable Information?
Following registration, you can review
and change the information you submitted during registration
including your email address, password and by clicking
here and
following the instructions. If you change your information
we may keep track of your old information and your new
information. You should promptly update your information
if it changes. Once posted, you cannot change or remove
any public postings made in any chat rooms, bulletin boards
or other message areas or feedback areas we may provide.
We will retain in our files information you have requested
to remove in some circumstances, for purposes such as to
resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our
Terms of Service. Further, such prior information is never
completely removed from our databases due to technical
constraints and certain recordkeeping requirements or practices
and the fact that we back up our systems. Therefore, you
should not expect that all of your personally identifiable
information will be completely removed from our databases
in response to your requests, although we will honor your
requests to change your information or our permitted email
communications as soon as practically possible.
What Choices do I have About PMI Collecting,
Using, and Sharing My Information?
When you do register with us or give us personally identifiable
information, you will have an opportunity – at the time
we collect your information – to limit email communications
from PMI and from third parties with whom we may have a
business relationship . You can request at any time
that PMI or such third parties not send future email to
you either by unsubscribing from the communication or by
contacting us at mailto:pmi@pmidigital.com . Also,
as mentioned above, there are ways to limit the information
collected through technology – though some of our features
won't work if you decide to do this.
What Kinds of Security Procedures Does PMI
Keep In Place?
The importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our customers and business
associates is of utmost concern to us. PMI takes
reasonable technical, contractual, administrative and physical
security steps to protect all visitors' information. There
are some things that you can do to help protect the security
of your information, as well. For instance, never
give out your password, since this is what is used to access
all of your account information. Also remember to
sign out of your account and close your browser window
when you finish surfing the Web, so that other people using
the same computer won't have access to your information.
Opt-Out Rights
If you are an individual who has obtained or is applying
to obtain a product or service from us primarily for your
personal, family or household use, the following rights
apply to you. The following does not apply to individuals
or companies that use our products or services for commercial
or business purposes.
Information Sharing Within PMI.
In order to provide you with a consistent level of quality
services and products, and as described above, we may share
any of the nonpublic personal information that we collect
about you among companies within PMI identified above.
Under the law, we are permitted to
internally share certain nonpublic personal information
about you when it relates to identification and the transactions
and experiences we have with you. However, you do have the right
to limit our sharing of your other nonpublic personal information
within PMI. This "other” information includes information
that is used, expected to be used, or collected for the
purpose of establishing your eligibility for consumer credit,
insurance or deposit accounts, and is not related solely
to your identification or other transactions or other experiences
with us. Examples include information: from your
applications, such as your income or investment objectives;
from a credit history report; and from sources used to
verify representations made by you, such as your open lines
of credit or employment history.
If you prefer that we not share these other non-identification,
non-experience and non-transaction types information about
you within PMI, you may opt out and direct us not to share
this information by calling us at 412-281-8500.
If you choose to opt out of the sharing of this information
within PMI, we will not share non-identification, non-transaction
or non-experience information about you for any accounts
that you may have with us (although we may continue to
share identification, transaction and experience information
and other information as permitted under law). For any
accounts with us that you hold jointly with another person,
each person may separately opt out and joint account holders
may opt out for each other. If only one joint account holder
opts out, we may share information about the other joint
account holders. Choosing to opt out of this information
sharing may limit opportunities for you to receive product
and service information that may interest you.
Information Sharing Outside PMI.
If you prefer that we not share your nonpublic personal
information with companies and organizations outside PMI
as described above, you may opt out and direct us not to
share this information by calling us at 412-281-8500.
If you choose to opt out of the sharing
of nonpublic personal information with companies and
organizations outside PMI, we will not share any nonpublic
personal information about you for any accounts that
you may have with us (although we may continue to share
nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third
parties for our marketing purposes, to process your account,
provide you the goods and services you have requested
or as otherwise permitted under law). For
any accounts that you hold jointly with another person,
each person may separately opt out and joint account holders
may opt out for each other. If only one joint account holder
opts out, we may share information about the other joint
account holders. Choosing to opt out of this information
sharing may limit opportunities for you to receive product
and service information that may interest you.
A Special Note on Children.
We ask that minors under the age of 13 do not submit any
personal information to us.
