Privacy Policy

Five Foot Zero, LLC (“The Momtographers,” “we” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy online. In this Privacy Policy, our pledge is to safeguard any personal information that you provide us, and to make every reasonable effort to use this information only as you choose.

The goal of this Privacy Policy is to advise you of the online privacy practices of TheMomtographers.com (“Site”). The Privacy Policy also describes the choices you have about the information collected on this Site and how it is used.

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our primary goal in collecting personal information about you is to give you a meaningful, enjoyable, and personalized website experience. Personal information also allows us to provide better service to you by tailoring our communications to match your interests.

Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Explicitly Provide:

In order to establish your account or to participate in various online programs offered through the Site, you will be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information to us such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. If you choose to purchase products or services, you will be asked to provide a valid credit card number and expiration date along with billing and shipping address information. You can choose not to provide this information but then you might not be able to participate in some of our services or offerings.

Information We Automatically Collect:

We use common internet technologies such as cookies and beacons to ensure the integrity of our site and to customize portions of the site for you.

Cookies: Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive, at a web site's request. Our cookies do not contain any personal information, but are used primarily as follows:

to keep track of temporary information. For example, cookies allow us to keep track of the pictures you upload and download;
to register you in programs, such as for membership. Cookies allow us to remember you when you login to the places on our site that require membership;
to remember your preferences;
to help us understand the size of our audience and traffic patterns;
to collect and record information about what you viewed on our Site and what you viewed in our e-mail;
to manage and present site information and the pictures displayed on your computer, and
to deliver information specific to your interests.

Web Beacons: We may also place small "tracker gifs" or "beacons" on many of the pages on our Site, in online advertising with third parties, and in our e-mail. We may use these beacons, in connection with cookies, to collect non-personal data on the usage of our site including but not limited to the date and time of the visit, the pages visited, the referring web page, the type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox), the type of operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux, or Mac), and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider (e.g., AOL). This information is collected about thousands of site visits and analyzed as a whole. This information is useful in, for example, tracking the performance of any online advertising and to determine where to place future advertising on the Site.

Disabling Cookies and beacons: If you are uncomfortable with the collection of such information through the use of cookies and beacons, we recommend disabling these features through your browser preferences, though please understand this will limit the performance and functionality of the Site. Your browser documentation should provide specific procedures for disabling cookie and beacon support.

IP Address: We may analyze IP addresses in the aggregate for system administration purposes and to gather broad demographic information. We do not link IP addresses to your computer's user ID, with the following exception: when you place an order using our online checkout process (if any) we record your computer's IP address with your order to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this information with the financial institution that issued the credit card with which an order was placed, or with law enforcement authorities if we determine, or are notified, that the use of the credit card was fraudulent.

Affiliate Site ID: If you entered the Site by clicking a link or promotion on another website or if you used a site that provides universal registration services to sign up for our Site, we will store the ID of that affiliate site in our database along with your computer's user ID. We do this to ensure that the affiliate site receives proper credit for any subsequent order you might place. We may also use this information in conjunction with your activities on our site to help us identify what offers and services may be of interest to you.

Information from Other Sources: We sometimes obtain additional information about you, such as demographic and lifestyle information, from other sources and merge it with information we have collected on this Site, as well as information you may have provided offline. We use this information as stated below.

Your personally identifiable information will not be rented or sold to any third party. The Momtographers may share your personal information as follows:

Companies who work on our behalf: We contract with other companies to perform business support functions on our behalf, which may involve limited access to your personal information.

Co-branded and Partner Pages: The Momtographers may share information with partner companies who jointly present special offers or promotions on co-branded pages within our Site. You will be notified of this sharing when you are asked to furnish personal data on such a page. The partner's use of any information you submit will be governed by the partner's own privacy notice, which you can review before submitting your information.
Business Transfers: The Momtographers reserves the right to transfer your personal information in connection with the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets. If the business is sold or transferred, we will give you an opportunity to tell us not to transfer your personal information.

If you do not want the public to be able to access your photographs, images and comments, you should not post such items on the Site.

Protecting Your Information

While we strive to protect your personal information obtained through our Site, we urge you also to take every precaution to protect your personal information while you are on the Internet.

Communities

Some aspects of our Site may enable you to participate in public forums such as discussion boards, chats, and live events. Please use discretion when posting personal information about yourself when using these services. Be aware that when you disclose personal information, such as your name, member name, e-mail address, etc., the information may be collected and used by others to send unsolicited e-mail. The forums are open to the public, and what you post there can be seen by anyone and is not protected. The Momtographers cannot control the comments that you may receive while you participate in these forums. If you find other people's comments to be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, then you may cease participating in these forums.

Children's Privacy

Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important, and those under the age of 13 are protected by federal law. For that reason, The Momtographers does not knowingly permit children under the age of 13 to become registered members of our Site, or to buy goods and services on our Site. The Momtographers does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information about children under 13, except with their parent's express consent.

If we ever include children under the age of 13 as part of our intended site audience, those specific web pages will, in accordance with the provisions of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), be clearly identified and provide an explicit privacy notice; and we will provide processes to obtain parental approval, provide access to information and allow parents to request removal of their children's personal information.
