A good password includes seemingly random letters and numbers, and isn’t obvious (such as names of a spouse, child, or pet). You can update your account information and change your password at any time through the “My Account” link on this Photo Site. If you have forgotten your password, you can set a new one by clicking on the “Forgot Password” link on the Welcome Page. You will be responsible for all activities that occur under your password.

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 but don't use this for any other purpose.

We are not in the business of selling data about our guests. Your personal information will not be rented, sold or shared with any third party, except as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise agreed by you. There are limited circumstances in which we share personal data with third parties. Our primary goal in collecting your personal information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, user-friendly experience on this Photo Site and in connection with our services and products.

We share personal information with carefully screened third-party service providers for the sole purpose of providing you with the products, services and information you have requested. We may also choose to offer certain third party products through this Photo Site and may disclose certain portions of your personally identifiable information to allow those product producers to fulfill your product order. Examples of such third-party service providers are credit card authorization companies, and merchandise distributors and shippers, which provide various services in connection with this Photo Site and the products and services offered and may take many of the actions described herein. Among the many services MMPL provides in connection with this Photo Site and the services and products, MMPL handles all orders, including credit card authorizations. The third-party service providers do not store, retain or access your information except to provide our services and products to you.

We also know where to e-mail you to let you know your order has been shipped.

Note that one reason we are able to offer you relevant promotions is that we reserve the right to use aggregated, anonymous, non-personal data about our users as a group. We use such information for statistical analysis of user behavior, product development, content improvement and marketing, promotional and advertising purposes. We may also make that aggregate non-personal information available to select third party partners from time to time, at our discretion.

We may transfer personal data to an affiliate or third party as part of a transfer of business assets. The data would continue to be covered by the promises in this Privacy Policy.

This Photo Site is designed so that you can control who may view the photographs stored in your account. We are committed to keeping your photographs private and secure. Please note that if you share your photographs with your friends or family members and they post your share invitation on a website or forward to other individuals, these photographs may be accessible to others who view the e-mail invitation or visit these websites.

Sharing your photographs electronically through our share service is one of the key benefits we offer.

An invitation with a web link created specifically for your photographs will be sent to them with your email address as the sender. They may view or purchase products using your photographs. We will not add their e-mail addresses to a mailing list, or send them further e-mail unless they sign up and choose to receive such communications from us per this Privacy Policy.

You, your Invitees and their Invitees can see your photographs online. An Invitee includes anyone who is invited to this Photo Site to see your photographs. Anyone who is invited to see your photographs online is not required to provide an e-mail address and a password to access this Photo Site to view the shared photographs. When you choose to share your online images with Invitees, those individuals will be able to view your photographs. The Invitees will be prohibited from re-sharing the photographs from within their view of the Photo Site. However, as with any e-mail, your Invitees could forward the e-mail invitation to others, who will then be able to click on the link to the photographs within the e-mail, and see the photographs too.
