Privacy Statement

Last updated November 10th, 2010

Atlas Designers is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. We believe it is important that everyone who accesses a Atlas Designers website understands what kind of information is or may be collected through the website, how that information is or may be collected and used, and the measures that Atlas Designers takes to protect the integrity of any personally identifiable information that you may provide to us.

This Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Atlas Designers through its websites (and the services available via these websites) that link through to this Privacy Statement. It does not apply to Atlas Designers websites, services and/or products that do not display or link to this statement, or that have their own privacy statements.

What Kind of Data and Information Does Atlas Designers Collect?

Certain information that identifies the type of web browser and language, access times, the domain name and specific pages visited will be automatically captured whenever a visitor accesses a Atlas Designers website. Atlas Designers does not collect any other data or personally identifiable information unless the user provides it to us.

Atlas Designers' websites are primarily for business-to-business purposes and transactions. A user is required to register in order to utilize the full functionality of the website. Registration requires that you provide Atlas Designers with certain information that is potentially of a personal nature. For example, Atlas Designers will ask you for your e-mail address, name, company name, address and telephone number. You will also be asked to create a password that, along with your e-mail address, will enable you logon and use the Atlas Designers website in the future.

If you place an order, make a purchase, or sign up for a paid membership or subscription service, Atlas Designers will also ask for additional information, such as a credit card number and billing address, and/or bank account information. This information is used to create a customer billing account. Atlas Designers may also assign you a unique identification number that is matched against the information you provide to Atlas Designers. Your personally identifiable information will also be matched against any material you upload to Atlas Designers for print fulfillment.

Once you have registered with Atlas Designers, each time you visit our website we may collect information about your visit. This may include the pages you view, the links you click on, and other actions you take as you view and/or use Atlas Designers' sites and services. Should you place an order, request a quote, or utilize one of our interactive graphic design tools, all details of any such transaction will be captured.

If you place an order and upload a data file to Atlas Designers for print fulfillment, there may be personally identifiable information contained in this data file (e.g. a name, address, telephone number and e-mail address on a business card file). This information may be yours or that of someone else. If it belongs to someone else, we will assume that this person has authorized you to forward this data to Atlas Designers. If you are not authorized to send such data to Atlas Designers, you should not upload the file.

What Use Does Atlas Designers Make Of The Information It Collects?

Atlas Designers uses the information it collects through its websites to operate and improve these websites, deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested, administer you account and generally operate our business.

We may use the information we collect in conjunction with analytic tools to help us determine the level of services and products we offer, improve the ease of use of our sites or services (such as by remembering information you have already entered), enhance our customer service, and to display content that can be tailored to specific customer interests, preferences and/or market segments.

Atlas Designers does not support third-party advertising on its websites, however, Atlas Designers may promote Atlas Designers products, services, special promotions, new features, etc., on the websites and we may use some of the information we collect in order to personalize the promotions that may appear when you access our sites.ÊÊThe ads that you may receive may be selected based on your chosen membership level, product categories previously ordered, pages you have viewed and links you have clicked when using Atlas Designers websites.

The personal information collected on Atlas Designers' websites may also be used to directly communicate with you. Your e-mail, mailing and/or billing address may be used for welcome letters, order confirmation, upload confirmation, job status updates, billing information and reminders, and technical service issues. Atlas Designers may also occasionally send you product or customer service surveys, or promotional correspondence to inform you of other products or services available from Atlas Designers.

Information contained in data files uploaded to Atlas Designers for print fulfillment is received and stored by Atlas Designers, but we do not use this information for any purpose other than fulfilling the requested print job.

Atlas Designers Does Not Share Your Personal Information.

Except for the limited Atlas Designers-related purposes described in this Statement, your personally identifiable information is not disclosed outside of Atlas Designers. We do not sell, rent or lease your name, billing or mailing address, e-mail address, phone number or other personally identifiable information to others.

Some personally identifiable information that you provide to Atlas Designers must necessarily be disclosed outside of Atlas Designers in order for us to provide our services to you. For example, to ship an order we must disclose the shipping information required by the carrier. Atlas Designers may also retain third parties to provided limited services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, programming development, transaction processing, or performing statistical analysis of our service offerings. Under certain circumstances, these third party companies may need or be given access to personally identifiable information in order to deliver their services to Atlas Designers. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or any legal process served on Atlas Designers; (b) respond to authorized requests of governmental or law enforcement agencies; (c) protect and defend the rights or property of Atlas Designers (including the enforcement of our agreements); and/or (d) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Atlas Designers services or members of the public.

Circumstances may arise when, for business purposes, Atlas Designers may decide to sell, merge, acquire or otherwise reorganize its business. Any such transaction may involve the disclosure and/or receipt of personally identifiable information to or from a prospective buyer, seller, merger partner, etc. For these types of transactions, Atlas Designers will seek appropriate protection for any personally identifiable information subject to disclosure.

The Security of Your Personal Information.

Atlas Designers uses 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 systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. Sensitive information, such as a credit card number, is protected through the use of encryption technology such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, and is maintained in an encrypted database. Please note that we do not regard any of the information provided to us in data files uploaded to us for print fulfillment as sensitive information requiring encryption.

When you register with Atlas Designers the password you choose is only as effective as you make it. It is your responsibility to choose an appropriate password and to keep it confidential. You should not share this information with anyone, and you should always log out of a Atlas Designers website or service before leaving your computer to protect against others being able to access your information. If you believe your password has been compromised in any way you should immediately change it by logging on and following the instructions or by calling Atlas Designers' Customer Service for assistance.

We encourage parents and guardians to be active in monitoring their children's online activities.

Use of Cookies.

Atlas Designers' websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services, help personalize your online experience and to record your online transactions. A cookie is a small text file that will be created at Atlas Designers' request by the browser you are using and then stored on your computer's hard drive. By using cookies, Atlas Designers is able to store your preferences and other information on your computer. This saves you time by eliminating the need to enter the same information each time you visit our website or browse pages within a website, and allows Atlas Designers to personalize the website content on your later visits to these sites.

Automatic acceptance of cookies is typical for most browsers. You usually have the ability to selectively accept or decline cookies by modifying your browser settings. If you choose to decline cookies from Atlas Designers, however, you may not be able to sign in or use the other interactive features of our sites and services that are dependent upon cookies. For example, you will not be able to place orders online, as our shopping cart functionality requires the use of cookies.

From time to time, Atlas Designers may update and revise this Privacy Statement to reflect changes in our policies, services and/or in response to our customers' feedback. When we do make changes to this Privacy Statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Statement. Because we reserve the right to modify this Privacy Statement at any time, please make sure that you review it frequently.
