Does StoryAlbums disclose the information it collects from its visitors to outside parties?

StoryAlbums does not currently sell, trade, or otherwise transfer outside the company personally identifiable information. This include information that visitors voluntarily provide during registration, while creating their albums or using any of the other features of our site. The information we collect is used to better understand your use of StoryAlbums. It is used to support related transactions made on the site and to better know our visitors so that we can target specific features or notifications to them. However, StoryAlbums may, from time to time, share data solely in an aggregate form (that will not enable third parties to personally identify individual members, including you) to affiliates for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Does StoryAlbums use "cookies"?

Cookies are bits of electronic information that a web site can transfer to a visitor's computer to help tailor and keep records of his or her visit to the site. Cookies allow web site operators to better customize site visits to the visitor's individual preferences. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and many web sites use them. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your browser to prevent or notify you whenever you are sent a cookie. This gives you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. StoryAlbums requires your web browser to accept cookies. Please be aware that you will not be able to access most of the features on this site without accepting cookies. StoryAlbums uses cookies so that our visitors can better enjoy the experience on our site and save you time, i.e., save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. Cookies cannot be used to damage your computer. If you would like more information about cookies, we suggest you visit http://www.cookiecentral.com/.

StoryAlbums does not currently use any outside ad companies to display ads on our site. The ads we use are links to companies that we have signed affiliate agreements with and are simply a mechanism to transfer to their site. Once you transfer to their site they may store cookies on your hard drive as you enter or move through their site. Please consult their privacy policy for more details on the data being collected by these companies. We do not have access to any information they collect.

How does StoryAlbums protect visitor information?

StoryAlbums implements a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Members' personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems. 

To ensure compliance with updated security technology, StoryAlbums recommends using one of the following browsers, each of which can be downloaded free of charge: Netscape Navigator (http://www.netscape.com/), or Microsoft Internet Explorer (http://www.microsoft.com/ie).  When you submit information to us (or to any other web site) over the Internet, the information may travel over many networks and systems that are not under the control of StoryAlbums. The Internet is not completely secure and others may intercept the information that you are sending. Further, anything you voluntarily provide in any public area of the Internet, including on StoryAlbums' web site, will be publicly available to other visitors on that web site and potentially to other third parties. You should always exercise caution when deciding to publicly disclose any of your personal information.

How does a visitor opt-out, remove, or modify information they have provided to StoryAlbums?

After gathering any member information, StoryAlbums offers you the opportunity to remove their information from our database so as not to receive future communications or to no longer interact with the web site until they later chose to by sending such a request to StoryAlbums at webmaster@storyalbums.startlogic.com, or as set forth below under "Contact Us." Additionally, StoryAlbums provides members the opportunity to update and modify any information they have previously provided. Members may update the information on-line directly or send a request to webmaster@storyalbums.startlogic.com to modify and/or delete the information previously provided. 

StoryAlbums' special note to parents

StoryAlbums is a general audience web site that does not contain content specifically directed to children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect age demographics information we will not be able to block access to your child. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children, to participate in the interactive activities offered online, and for children to consult with their parents before submitting any information to this or any other web site.  Parents should consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers to help supervise their children's online activities. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information online without parental permission. For additional information about parental control tools, please consult the "Consumer Assistance" page of the Direct Marketing Association home page.
