ScrapSubmit is the sole owner of the information collected on ScrapSubmit.com.
ScrapSubmit.com collects information from our users at several different points
on our Web site.
In order to use this Web site, a user must first complete the registration form.
During registration a user is required to give contact information (such as name
and email address). We use this information to contact the user about services
on our site for which he has expressed interest. It is optional for the user to
provide further personal information, and unique identifiers (such as, username
and password), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience
on our site.
We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact
information (such as name, email, and billing address) and financial information
(such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fulfill customer’s advertising orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.
Any information provided during registration is specifically used to submit users'
specific creations to listed publications and other scrapbooking entities. Information
given is strictly voluntary, and is not disclosed without consent of user. Submission
of personal creations by user through the ScrapSubmit system constitutes full
permission of related information disclosure to user-selected publications/scrapbooking-related
entities.
Collected information is tied to the users personally identifiable information
to submit users' creations to selected publications/scrapbooking-related entities.
We do not share your private profile with third parties other than those selected
individually by user during the submission process.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information
about the user. We use persistent cookies. A persistent cookie is a small text
file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent
cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more
than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie,
they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be
limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to submit
personal creations through the ScrapSubmit submission system, edit their ScrapBio,
or edit their registration information. Persistent cookies enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. See
the “Profile” section.
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by carefully selected,
paying third-party advertising partners. Information about users’ visit
to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not user name,
address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to users on this
site.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by ScrapSubmit.com only and does
not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked
to personally identifiable information.
| Communications from the site |
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established
members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals,
and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option
to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out
sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide
a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement.
For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might
send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications,
though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not
promotional in nature.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and
in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email in accordance
with the users wishes.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose
personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a
court order or legal process served on our Web site.
These are the instances in which we will share users’ personal information:
Any information provided during registration is specifically used to submit users'
specific creations to listed publications and other scrapbooking entities. Information
given is strictly voluntary, and is not disclosed without consent of user. Submission
of personal creations by user through the ScrapSubmit system constitutes full
permission of related information disclosure to user-selected publications/scrapbooking-related
entities.
| Third Party Intermediaries |
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share,
store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
In the event ScrapSubmit.com goes through a business transition, such as a merger,
being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’
personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-in’ to having their information
used for purposes such as newsletter delivery at the point where we ask for information.
For example, our registration form has an ‘opt-in’ mechanism so users
who register for an account, but don’t want any marketing material, can
keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications
may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the Unsubscribe link
provided at the bottom of the newsletter. The user may also contact us at
to opt-out.
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, ScrapSubmit.com,
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested
information typically includes contact information (such as name and e-mail address),
and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used
and shared with the contest sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site. Users’ personally identifiable information is not shared with
third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary
to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users’ personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our
site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. ScrapSubmit.com
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the
site. ScrapSubmit.com stores this information for the sole purpose of sending
this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. The friend
may contact ScrapSubmit.com at to request the removal of
this information from our database.
| Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums |
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that
information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal
information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages
from other parties in return.
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information
is protected both online and off-line.
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every
quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can
do to ensure our users’ information is protected. Finally, the servers
that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment,
in a locked facility.
If users have any questions about
the security at our Web site, users can send an email to
.
| Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information |
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code,
phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service,
we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally
identifiable information. This can usually be done at the member information
page or by emailing our Customer Support at .
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this
privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify
users by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.
