2. Privacy Statement. Blair Morgan Photography ("Blair Morgan") operates this
web site. All references to "we", "us", "this web site" or "this site" shall be
construed to mean Blair Morgan. Blair Morgan understands that visitors to this
web site are concerned about the privacy of information. The following describes
our privacy policy, including our policy regarding information that we collect
through this web site.
3. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information. As you navigate through this
site, certain anonymous information may be passively collected (that is,
gathered without your actively providing the information) using various
technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational
data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). For example, as explained
in more detail below, your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site
some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just
came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your
computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information
from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set
your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies
altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
The following is a listing and a brief explanation of passive information
collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to enhance the
services we offer.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that this site sends to your Web browser
which helps us remember information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve
navigation, block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (the
site "remembers" previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside
the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate
statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web
browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on
the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie.
Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes,
such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided, helping to
determine what areas of the site you may find most valuable, and customizing the
site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by
this site in your computer do not hold Personally Identifiable Information
(PII).
You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to
notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether
to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify your preferences,
please search for "cookie" in the "Help" portion of your browser.
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer by your
Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally
considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases
an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet),
rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). The IP address can
be used to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate information,
determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to a site,
and administer and improve the site.
"Internet tags" (also known as Web Beacons, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site
server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the
visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring
people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how
many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used for
system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes,
and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Anonymous, Passive Information. This site may make full
use of passively collected anonymous information through the collection methods
described above, including without limitation the right to use such information
to provide better service to site visitors, customize the site based on your
preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer
and improve the site for your use. We reserve the right to share this
information in the same manner as provided below for PII (defined below).
5. Google Analytics; Use of 3rd Party Cookies. This website uses Google
Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google
Analytics uses cookies (sometimes referred to as 3rd party cookies) which are
text files placed on your computer, to help us analyze how users use this site.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this site (including
your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the
United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating
your use of this site, compiling reports on website activity for website
operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and
internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where
required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on
Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data
held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate
settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not
be able to use the full functionality of this site. By using this site, you
consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the
purposes set out above.
6. Collection of Personally Identifiable Information ("PII"). We will ask you
when we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact
you (which re refer to as "PII"). PII which we collect may vary depending on the
benefits and/or services you select, and may include one or more of the
following categories of information: name, physical address, an email address,
phone number, and credit card information including credit card number,
expiration date, and billing address.
7. Use And Sharing of PII: General Policy. Except as discussed below, our
general policy is that we will use your PII only for the performance of the

this privacy policy explicitly provides otherwise, and (ii) if explicitly

APPROVED BY YOU.
8. Sharing of PII: Affiliates. Unless prohibited by law, we may use and share
PII within any companies that may legally affiliated with us (such as, for
example, any parent, subsidiary, or brother or sister entity) for purposes of
providing service and account maintenance, to help us design and improve
products and services, and to offer products and services that may be of
interest to you.
9. Sharing of PII: Third-Party Service Providers. We may hire other companies to
provide services on our behalf. These third-party service providers may include,
for example, companies that (i) host, manage, and service our website, web

services, (iii) provide marketing services, (iv) provide payment processing,
fulfillment, and/or shipping services, (i) refer you to this site in their

all such third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of PII and
are prohibited from using PII for any purpose other than for the services they
provide, which may include emails, but only to the extent email is integral to
their services.
10. Sharing of PII: In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy. In the event
that we are acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the
right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we
have collected from our users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or
other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights
generally, we may not be able to control how your PII is treated, transferred,
or used.
11. Sharing of PII: Legal Process. We reserve the right to share PII with third
parties in response to a subpoena, to prevent fraud, to comply with an inquiry
by a government agency or other regulator, or as necessary for other legal

that our site operates in the United States, and further you agree to (i) permit
our site to transmit and use your PII anywhere necessary, including across
international boundaries, to affect the services and transactions provided by
this site; and (ii) that such use will be subject to the terms and conditions
stated in this Privacy Policy.
13. Security of PII. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect
your PII and other sensitive information. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet or method of data storage can be guaranteed 100% secure.
