IMPORTANT NOTE: if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), the Services may not function properly or may not work at all.
Cross-Device Tracking: Some of our Services use data analytics companies, advertising networks, and/or social media companies to engage in “cross-Device tracking,” which occurs when platforms, publishers, and advertising technology companies try to connect a consumer’s activity across smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and other connected devices. Cross-Device tracking enables us to link your behavior with our Services across Devices.
Third parties or Publicly Available Sources. We receive Data from third parties such as business partners and sub-contractors who provide us with a variety of business services like shipping and payment processing, advertising, analytics, search information, etc.

However, we cannot and do not guarantee that unauthorized persons will not be able to view your User Contributions.
Use and Processing of Other Data
We may use Data that is not PII for any business purpose.

The Services have physical, electronic, and administrative security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of Data under our control. When you submit credit card information through the Services, we create a nonce so your credit card information is never stored by us.

We urge you to take steps to keep Data safe (including your account password), log out of your account after use, and close your web browser.
California and Virginia residents may opt out of the sale and/or sharing of their information by broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) (on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal). To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use. We can only link your request to opt-out of sale/sharing to your browser or device identifier, and not to any information about any account you may have with us. The connection between your browser or device and any account you have with us is not known to us. Accordingly, now that we have implemented GPC recognition, any prior choices you have made regarding sale/sharing of your personal information are no longer valid. If you wish to opt out of the sale/sharing of your information, you will need to do so by rebroadcasting the GPC signal to us now and again in the future to the extent you visit our website with a different device or clear the cookies cache from your current device.

If you live in or are in the European Union, EEA, UK or Switzerland, the Addendum for Persons Located in the European Union, UK, EEA and Switzerland EU below describes additional rights you might have.
Please check this Privacy Policy periodically to inform yourself of any changes. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so you should review it frequently.

We may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale, retention, and use of your personal information as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels.
Pursuant to the CCPA, this Notice is to provide you with information regarding any financial incentive or “price or service difference" that we may provide in exchange for your personal information. The Personal Information collected from you in exchange for financial incentive or “price or service difference” may include collecting the following categories of personal information from customers who participate: identifiers; customer records; protected class and demographic information; commercial information and preferences; internet or other electronic network activity information and device information; audio, electronic, visual, or other sensory information; and inferences.

If you wish to opt-out of the financial incentive or price or service difference, do not submit the Personal Information. If you opt-in and subsequently wish to withdraw from the financial incentive or price or service difference, you may request such withdrawal by contacting us here: OneTrust Form.
Each financial incentive or price or service difference related to the collection and use of Personal Information is based upon our sole reasonable, good-faith determination of the estimated value of such information to our business, taking into consideration the value of the offer itself and the anticipated revenue generation that may be realized by rewarding brand loyalty. We calculate the value of the offer and financial incentive by using the expense related to the offer. By participating in any of the above promotional programs, you agree that the benefits are reasonably related to the value of the Personal Information collected and contained.

This Addendum for Persons Located in the European Union, UK, EEA and Switzerland (this “GDPR Notice”) supplements the information contained in the Privacy Policy and applies solely to persons located in the EU, UK, EEA and Switzerland. We adopt this GDPR Notice to comply with GDPR, and any terms defined in GDPR (including Personal Data) have the same meaning when used in this GDPR Notice.
In GeneralWe have appointed ITG EU & GRCI Law to act as our EU and UK Representatives. If you wish to exercise your rights under EU GDPR or the UK GDPR or have any queries in relation to your rights or privacy matters generally please email from Europe privacyeu@pallcprivacy.com, or from UK privacyuk@pallcprivacy.com.
We may need to request additional information from you in order to confirm your identity before responding to your request or question.
On Which EU Legal Basis Do We Process Personal Data About You?Legitimate interests include, for example, developing and improving our internal administration or business and service processes, marketing and reputation activities, keeping our records up to date, handling and managing our legal and contractual duties and obligations, and compliance with internal and legal policies and regulations that apply to us.
In addition, we process Personal Data to let you know about updates to products and services you have purchased from us or expressed interest in before.
Will Personal Data About You be Transferred Outside the EU/EEA?On July 16, 2020, the European Court of Justice (CJEU) determined that the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework is no longer valid for the transfer of Personal Data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to the U.S. (known as the Schrems II decision). The Schrems II decision also placed additional compliance requirements on the use of EU Standard Contract Clauses (SCC) for the transfer of EU/EEA Personal Data to the U.S. by companies subject to Section 702 of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and/or Executive Order 12333 (E.O. 12333).
We know our customers, website visitors, and business partners care deeply about privacy and data security, and we optimize our work to get these issues right. We’d like to confirm that you can continue to use our Services with regard to EU and EEA Personal Data in compliance with EU law.
First, please know that it is our good-faith belief that the types of EU/EEA Personal Data we collect, use, process, share and/or store in the U.S. are not of the types of Personal Data that would generally be subject to requests from U.S. government authorities pursuant to FISA Section 702 and/or E.O. 12333.
Second, please note that as part of our good-faith efforts to comply with applicable data protection laws, we strive to continue to store and process EU, EEA, UK and Swiss Personal Data in Ireland, on servers located in the EU. In compliance with the GDPR and other applicable laws we also implement data encryption, data minimization, data pseudonymization, and need to know access to Personal Data.
Third, although we have withdrawn from Privacy Shield, we are retaining the data collected during our participation, and are providing adequate protection for such data by another authorized means.
Fourth, when international transfer of Personal Data is necessary to perform a contract with you, or in individual cases for the purposes of our compelling legitimate business interests and in order to comply with our internal policies, contractual and legal obligations.
If you represent one of our service providers or business partners and your organization is a party to an agreement with us that includes EU Standard Contract Clauses (SCC) for compliance with EU/EEA data protection laws, please contact us at privacy@pallcprivacy.com to discuss whether any updates to our agreement are needed resulting from the Schrems II decision.
Trust is a top priority for us, and we will continue to work vigilantly to ensure that our customers, website visitors, and business partners are able to continue to enjoy the benefits of our Services securely, compliantly, and without disruption.
Your Consent to Transfer of Personal Data
In addition to the above, we may also process, store, and/or transfer Personal Data we collect about you, in and to a country outside the EU including the United States. Those other countries may have different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as your own.
By submitting Personal Data or interacting with our Services, you consent to this transfer, storing, and/or processing including in the United States.
You may exercise your access, correction or deletion rights by using the form located at the Manage Personal Information link at the bottom of each webpage. Alternatively, you may send us an email from Europe at privacyeu@pallcprivacy.com or from the UK to privacyuk@pallcprivacy.com to request access to, correction, or deletion of Personal Data that you have provided to us. In some situations, we cannot delete Personal Data about you except by also deleting your user account. Please note that deletion of your account will cause you to lose your stored photos, completed and in-process projects, and all content you have uploaded for sale through any of our Services with Shops or Marketplaces. If this Data is deleted by us at your request, we will not be able get it back for you if you change your mind in the future. We may not be able to grant a request to change or delete Personal Data about you if we believe the change or deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or negatively affect the accuracy of the Data.
If you delete your User Contributions from our Services, copies may still be viewable in cached and archived pages or where other users have copied or stored them. Our terms of use govern proper access and use of information provided on our Services, including User Contributions.
