3. DEFINITIONS AND WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND USE

To provide the Services and to tailor your experience with the Services,
Photobucket collects certain information as defined in this Privacy Policy.

Biometric Information Definition: “Biometric Information” refers to data that
depict or describe physical, biological, or behavioral traits, characteristics,
or measurements of or relating to an identified or identifiable person’s body.
Biometric Information includes, but is not limited to, depictions, images,
descriptions, or recordings of an individual’s facial features, iris or retina,
finger or handprints, voice, genetics, or characteristic movements or gestures
(e.g., gait or typing pattern). Biometric Information also includes data derived
from such depictions, images, descriptions, or recordings, to the extent that it
would be reasonably possible to identify the person from whose information the
data had been derived. By way of example, both a photograph of a person’s face
and a facial recognition template, embedding, faceprint, or other data that
encode measurements or characteristics of the face depicted in the photograph
constitute Biometric Information. There are different definitions for biometric
information, or biometric data, under different state laws. Within this Privacy
Policy and our Biometric Information Privacy Policy we generally adopt the
Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) 2023 Policy Statement on Biometric
Information and Section 5 of the FTC Act definition dated May 18, 2023.

Biometric Information Collection and Use: According to the terms of this Privacy
Policy, ourBiometric Information Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use, you grant
us the right to the extent permitted by the laws of your region, to
commercialize, including the right to license or sell your Public User Uploaded
Content to third parties for the scanning and processing of your Public User
Uploaded Content, including extracting physical features (e.g., measurements) of
your Biometric Information, solely for the purpose of artificial intelligence
and machine learning training and the subsequent uses derived therefrom. Outside
the User Uploaded Content you store on our Services and rights granted above,
Photobucket does not collect, use, store, or disclose your Biometric
Information. Photobucket also will not allow a third party to do any of these
activities if it is not permitted by the laws of your region or if you opt-out
from granting Photobucket the right to sell, lease, trade or otherwise profit
from the disclosure of your Biometric Information in your Public User Uploaded
Content by following this link or by emailing support@photobucket.com. There is
an initial opt-out period that exists for forty-five (45) days from the
Effective Date listed above (“Initial Opt-Out Period”) that will be prior to any
license or sale taking effect. Please note that if you opt-out, Photobucket will
delete your Account and all of your User Uploaded Content. If you decide to
opt-out, please download and save any of your User Uploaded Content that you
wish to keep and store. After the end of the Initial Opt-Out Period, you will
still have the option to opt-out from granting Photobucket the right to sell,
lease, trade or otherwise profit from the disclosure of your Biometric
Information contained in your Public User Uploaded Content prospectively. If you
do not opt-out during the Initial Opt-Out Period and we do provide your Public
User Uploaded Content to a third party, we cannot guarantee we can recall it,
but it will not be sold, leased, traded, or otherwise profited from after the
date we receive your request to opt-out.

We do NOT knowingly license or sell your Biometric Information if you are a
resident of certain regions or states. Please click here to read more about the
specific regions and states. Out of respect for your privacy Photobucket limits
the amount of geolocation information it possesses; therefore, if you have
become a resident of one of these states since you last signed up for your
Photobucket account, or if you want to confirm your state residency with us,
please contact us at support@photobucket.com. As data privacy laws continually
change, or if we inadvertently missed a request of yours, or if you notice
something amiss, please contact us at support@photobucket.com. We will review
and remedy the issue appropriately. Please refer to our Biometric Information
Privacy Policy for additional information about the rights you grant us
regarding the use and distribution of your Biometric Information.

Content: “Content” refers to creative expressions, including, but not limited
to, video, audio, music, still or moving photographs, images, illustrations,
animations, logos, tools, written posts, replies and comments, information,
data, text, software, scripts, executable files, and graphics, any of which may
be generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Services.
Content also includes User Uploaded Content.

Device Information Definition: Photobucket automatically collects certain
information about your computer, phone, tablet, etc. (“Device”), including
information about your web browser, requests from your web browser to our
servers for web pages and other content on our Site, your geographical location,
your IP address, your time zone, your internet service provider, your mobile
device, and some of the cookies that are installed on your Device. This
information is recorded.

As you use the Services, we collect information about the individual web pages
that you view, the websites or search terms referred you to the Services, the
software you use to browse our Site, and how you interact with the Services. We
use this information in aggregate, on an anonymous basis, to assess the
popularity of the webpages on our Site and our performance in providing services
to our members. We also use this anonymous information to help us make decisions
on where/how we can improve and enhance our Services.

Note that if combined with other information we know about you from previous
visits, this information could potentially be used to identify you personally,
even if you are not signed into your Account on our Site, but this is uncommon.
We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

Device Information Collection and Use: Device Information collected using the
following methods:

 * Browser Fingerprinting. The collection and analysis of information from your
   Device, including, but not limited to, your operating system, plug-ins,
   system fonts, and other data, for the purpose of identification.
 * Cookies. A cookie is a file placed on a Device to uniquely identify your
   browser or to store information on your Device. Our Site uses cookies, which
   may include HTTP cookies, HTML5 cookies, Flash cookies and other types of
   cookie technology to store information on local storage. We use cookies that
   are placed by software that operates on our servers, and by software operated
   by third parties whose services we use. Many web browsers allow you to
   prevent, limit, or delete cookies. If you do not allow the use of cookies
   through your browser settings or if choose not to use them, you will not be
   able to use all the functionality of our Services. We use cookies in the
   following ways: (a) to track how you use our Services; (b) to record whether
   you have seen specific messages we display on our Services; (c) to keep you
   signed in our Services; and (d) to record your answers to surveys and
   questionnaires on our Services while you complete them. We may use a third
   party to provide us with re-marketing services. Re-marketing involves placing
   a cookie on your computer when you browse our Services, such as our Site, in
   order to be able to serve to you an advertisement for our products or
   Services when you visit another website that is not owned or controlled by
   us.
 * Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to
   collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the
   links you click on.
 * ETag, or entity tag. An ETag or entity tag is a feature of the cache in
   browsers. It is an opaque identifier assigned by a web server to a specific
   version of a resource found at a URL.
 * Recognition Technologies. Technologies, including application of statistical
   probability to data sets, which attempt to recognize or make assumptions
   about users and devices (e.g., that a user of multiple devices is the same
   user).
 * Web Beacons. A Web Beacon is a small tag (which may be invisible to you) that
   may be placed on our Services’ pages and messages.



Payment Information Definition: Payment Information refers to credit card
numbers, debit card numbers, financial account numbers, transaction details, and
additional forms of payment.

Payment Information Collection and Use: Your Payment Information is never taken
by us or transferred to us either through our Services or otherwise. Our
employees and contractors never have access to it. At the point of payment, you
are transferred to a secure page on the website of our payment gateway partners.
Their pages may be branded to look like a page on our Services but are not
controlled by us. They are regulated by stringent credit card privacy laws as
well as the rules of Visa®, Mastercard®, American Express®, Discover®, etc.

Personal Information Definition: You may submit information by which you may be
personally identified, such as name, title, address, e-mail address, telephone
number, date of birth, country, state, country of residence, or business
operation (“Personal Information”).

Personal Information Collection and Use: Personal Information may come from
collected data or Voluntary Information (defined below). We may collect this
information when you:

 * Request information from us via forms or emails;
 * Contact us regarding a question, concern (such as reporting copyright
   infringement), or inquiry, such as when you make inquiries concerning our
   Services;
 * Register and create an Account (e.g., on the Photobucket website or
   Photobucket App);
 * Sign up or request to be placed on our mailing and/or email marketing lists;
 * Upload User Uploaded Content (defined below) on or through the Photobucket
   website or Photobucket App; or
 * Otherwise interact with the Services or our representatives.



User Uploaded Content Definition: Our Services allow you to upload the most
commonly-used image and video files. These image files and video files, both in
their native uploaded form and any subsequently edited version stored with the
Services, are referred to individually and collectively as “User Uploaded
Content.” User Uploaded Content may be Private User Uploaded Content (defined
below) or Public User Uploaded Content (defined below), or Sharable User
Uploaded Content (defined below). When uploading Content or other Personal
Information, it is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of
every person who might use it. Once your information enters the public domain,
we have no control over what any individual third party may do with it. We
accept no responsibility for their actions at any time. Please note that User
Uploaded Content, in addition to being subject to this Privacy Policy, is also
governed by our Terms of Use and our Biometric Information Privacy Policy.

Private User Uploaded Content Definition: In the past versions of Services
offered by Photobucket, a Subscriber (defined in our Terms of Use) with an
Account could mark any album with User Uploaded Content they uploaded as
“Private” (“Private User Uploaded Content”). Although we created measures to
protect your privacy, please be aware that just because something is marked
“Private” does not mean that only the people you invite will see it in all
instances. For example, individuals may still be able to find the direct URL for
a photo or through other search mechanisms, and then share or link to it outside
the Services. If you share Private User Uploaded Content from the Services or
provide someone with a direct link to Private User Uploaded Content, others may
be able to see it, even if you marked it “Private” according to the past
versions of the Services. We are not responsible for any shared Private User
Uploaded Content that has been shared after being marked as “Private” according
to the past Services offered by Photobucket.

Private User Uploaded Content Use: When you uploaded Content you marked as
“Private”, you granted us a worldwide, non- exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable,
royalty-free, transferable, right and license to: copy, stream, post, display,
publicly perform and reproduce the Private User Uploaded Content so that we may
offer the Services to you and to others at your request (e.g. image sharing and
hosting by you) as well as other rights set forth herein.

Public User Uploaded Content Definition: The past versions of Services offered
by Photobucket allowed you to upload and share images and information that, by
doing so and marking such people such as: (a) tagging, describing or commenting
on images, whether such images are posted by you or someone else; (b) making
comments on a forum; or (c) clicking on an icon next to another user’s image or
comment to convey your agreement, disagreement or thanks. This content is
referred to as “Public User Uploaded Content.” The concept of “Public” from the
past versions of Services offered by Photobucket no longer exists for new
uploads of User Uploaded Content as of February 6, 2024. User Uploaded Content
or albums in the current version of the Services that were Public User Uploaded
Content prior to February 6, 2024, remains Public, for Legacy Free Accounts.
User Uploaded Content uploaded as of February 6, 2024, is not Public User
Uploaded Content.

Public User Uploaded Content Use: We will store your Public User Uploaded
Content and will use it for the purpose of providing our services to you and the
public. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable,
royalty-free, transferable, right and license to: copy, convey, distribute,
stream, post, publicly display (e.g. post it elsewhere), reproduce and create
derivative works from it (meaning things based on it), whether in print or any
kind of electronic version that exists now or is later developed, for any
purpose, including a commercial purpose with the right to sublicense such rights
to others. In particular, to the extent permitted by the laws of your region,
you grant us the right to commercialize, including the right to license or sell
your Public User Uploaded Content to third parties for the scanning and
processing of Public User Uploaded Content, including extracting physical
features (e.g., measurements) of your Biometric Information, solely for the
purpose of artificial intelligence and machine learning training and the
subsequent uses derived therefrom. The law in areas such as data privacy is
continually changing. If you notice something amiss, please contact us
atsupport@photobucket.com, and we will review and remedy the issue as
appropriate.

By your making your content Public User Uploaded Content, you gave all other
Services users the right to copy, distribute, publicly perform, publicly
display, reproduce and create derivative works from it via the Services, third
party websites or applications (for example, allowing Subscribers to order
prints of Public User Uploaded Content or t-shirts and similar items containing
Public User Uploaded Content, and via social media websites), provided such use
is not for a commercial purpose.

Sharable User Uploaded Content Definition: Albums and User Uploaded Content in
the current version of the Services that were uploaded from a Paid Account, are
not Public User Uploaded Content because they are shareable instead of Public
(“Sharable User Uploaded Content”). Public User Uploaded Content that is
uploaded prior to February 6, 2024 for Paid Accounts was converted to Sharable
User Uploaded Content as of February 6, 2024 because in the current version of
the Services, album with User Uploaded Content can be shared by creating a link.
This link can be viewed by those with access to it and can also be password
protected. These links are referred to as “Sharing Links”. Although we created
measures to protect your privacy, please be aware that just because something is
accessible through a Sharing Link does not mean that only the people you invite
will see it in all instances. We are also not responsible for any shared User
Uploaded Content that has been shared with a Sharing Link under the current
version of the Services.

Sharable User Uploaded Content Use: When you upload Content to the current
versions of our Services as of February 6, 2024, you grant us a worldwide,
non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, right and
license to: copy, stream, post, display, publicly perform, and reproduce the
Sharable User Uploaded Content so that we may offer the Services to you and to
others at your request (e.g. image sharing and hosting by you) as well as other
rights set forth herein.

Altering User Uploaded Content Privacy Designation: We reserve the right to
change the designation of your User Uploaded Content and/or albums from “Public”
to “Private”. We will not, however, change your “Private” setting on your User
Uploaded Content or albums to “Public” without you asking us to do so on your
behalf. Note that all User Uploaded Content uploaded by you, whether Private
User Uploaded Content or Public User Uploaded Content may be stored by us as
backup files or on servers. If you have questions about your User Uploaded
Content, please contact us at support@photobucket.com. If you would like us to
terminate your account or to delete all of your User Uploaded Content and
Personal Information, please submit a request to support@photobucket.com.

Privacy Settings Over Time Explained:

Since the inception of Photobucket, we have offered various versions of
Accounts, resulting in different privacy settings. Initially, Legacy Free
Accounts (as defined in our Terms of Use) were provided with a default privacy
setting for User Uploaded Content albums as “Public.” However, Subscribers had
the flexibility to switch the privacy setting from “Public” to “Private” for
each album, either during or after the upload process, as long as they
maintained an active Account. This approach empowered a Subscriber to control
whether their User Uploaded Content was classified as Private User Uploaded
Content or Public User Uploaded Content.

From December 2020 through February 2024, the default setting for User Uploaded
Content albums was “Private.” However, a Subscriber could switch the privacy
setting for an album to “Public” either at the time of the upload or afterwards
as long as they maintained an active Account. This gave Subscribers control over
whether their User Uploaded Content was Private User Uploaded Content or Public
User Uploaded Content.

As of February 6, 2024, Photobucket transitioned to its current version of the
Services, which includes accounts with Group Buckets and Personal Buckets. An
update eliminated the Subscriber’s ability to change between the Public privacy
setting and Private privacy setting for their User Uploaded Content or albums in
their active Accounts. User Uploaded Content uploaded from a Paid Account,
whether it was uploaded before or after February 6, 2024, is categorized as
Sharable User Uploaded Content. However, User Uploaded Content before February
6, 2024 from Legacy Free Accounts that was Public User Uploaded Content remains
Public User Uploaded Content.

If you would like more information on the various privacy settings, if you
previously uploaded something under a privacy setting that you now wish to
delete, or if you have questions, please contact us at support@photobucket.com.

Voluntary Information: There may be times where you provide information,
including Personal Information, about yourself voluntarily through emails,
customer support requests, or other means of communicating with us. We refer to
this information as “Voluntary Information.”

The Device Information, Personal Information, and Voluntary Information
discussed in this Privacy Policy is collectively referred to as “Accumulated
Information.” Biometric Information is not included in the definition of
Accumulated Information.

4. ADDITIONAL USES OF INFORMATION

In addition to the uses outlined above, we use Accumulated Information for the
following purposes:

 * We use Device Information to assist us with screening for potential risk and
   fraud and to improve and optimize our Services.
 * We use Personal Information to contact you, when necessary, to send you
   reminders and to provide you information and notices about the Service, to
   send you notice of updates to any of our Agreements, and to provide
   commercial and marketing information about our Services and related services.
 * We use Voluntary Information to provide the Services.
 * We use Voluntary Information to communicate with you, to screen use of the
   Services potential risk or fraud, and to provide you with information or
   advertising related to our products or services in line with your user
   preferences.
 * We use Voluntary Information to respond and communicate with you related to
   the subject matter of the submitted Voluntary Information.
 * We share your Accumulated Information with third parties to help us use your
   Accumulated Information, as described above. For example, we may use Google
   Analytics to help us understand how our visitors use our Site. You can read
   more about how Google uses your Accumulated Information
   here:https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out
   of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
 * We may also share Accumulated Information to enforce our terms, policies, and
   legal agreements, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to
   respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information
   we receive, to enforce our terms of use and legal notices, as required or
   permitted by law, or to otherwise protect our rights or property. We shall
   have no duty to notify you of disclosures required for compliance with law.
 * We may use third-party storage or service provider companies to perform some
   functions addressed herein, including the processing of data related to
   Accumulated Information.



We do not expose Accumulated Information to the public or third parties except
in the limited circumstances set forth in this Privacy Policy.

5. WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED

We never share Personal Information we receive from you unless (a) we have your
permission to share that information; (b) we have given you prior notice,
including through this Privacy Policy, that the information will be shared and
with what recipient or category of recipients; (c) that information is aggregate
information or other information that does not identify you; or (d) to respond
to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in
connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as
permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.

We will share your Accumulated Information with our customers, service
providers, and other third parties (“Third Party Providers”), if necessary, to
fulfill the purposes for collecting the information. For example, if you decide
to order a print of one of your images and click on the button or link that
initiates the “handoff” to our third party print partner, we will provide user
and image information to them to assist you in the ordering process. Third Party
Providers use Accumulated Information solely for the purposes of providing
services to us so we can provide our Services to you. Third Party Providers are
expected to commit to protect your privacy as required under the applicable law
and this Privacy Policy.

6. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

The Services may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions
between the Services and your account on a Third Party Service. The use of this
functionality may involve the third-party site providing information to us or us
providing information to that Third Party. For example, we may provide links on
the Services to facilitate sending a communication from the Services or we may
use third parties to facilitate emails or postings to social media (like a
“Share” or “Forward” button). We do not have control over these technologies or
the data that these parties obtain. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy does not
cover the information practices of these third parties.

We also may provide links to allow third parties to process credit card and/or
electronic payments. These third parties may retain any information used or
provided in any such communications or activities and these third parties’
practices are not subject to our Privacy Policy. We may not control or have
access to your communications through these third parties. Further, when you use
Third Party Services, you are using their services and not our services and
they, not Photobucket, are responsible for their practices. You should read the
applicable third-party privacy policies before using such Third Party Services
on or through our Service.

7. REMOVAL OF UPLOADED CONTENT & TRANSFER OF ACCUMULATED INFORMATION

We reserve the right to report any Content that you upload and to share
Accumulated Information in connection with reporting such Content if we believe,
in our sole discretion that such Content is illegal or abusive or may violate
any third-party rights. Additionally, a merger, acquisition or any other
structural change will require us to transfer your Accumulated Information and
User Uploaded Content (including Content that could contain your Biometric
Information) to another entity, as part of the structural change, provided that
the receiving entity will comply with this Privacy Policy. In the event of a
merger, acquisition, or any other structural change you agree that the rights
you transfer to us will be transferable to the receiving entity.

8. EMAIL LISTS:

Photobucket maintains e-mail lists to keep interested parties informed about our
company, events, products, services, support, and more. We do not sell the
addresses on our list, but we may make information available to specific
business partners, sponsors, or service providers for the purpose of providing
you the Services and complying with applicable laws.

You automatically join our email list when you provide your email in connection
with the Services. To be removed from a mailing list, simply contact us at
support@photobucket.com.

9. OPTING OUT

At any time, you can unsubscribe from our mailing lists or newsletters, by
emailing us at support@photobucket.com. At any time, you can stop using the
Services. Termination of your Account is subject to the terms and conditions in
this Privacy Policy and Photobucket’s Terms of Use. If you disagree with the
terms of this Privacy Policy and wish to opt-out, please email us at

for your inability to use the Services or any feature or part of the Services as
a result of your choice not to provide certain Accumulated Information.

10. AGGREGATED AND ANALYTICAL INFORMATION

We use standard analytics tools. The privacy practices of these tools are
subject to their own privacy policies, and they use their own cookies to provide
their service. We use the standard analytics tools, from time to time, to learn
about how you and other users use the Services, in support of our
Services-related activities and operations. The privacy practices of these tools
are subject to their own privacy policies.

We use anonymous, statistical or aggregated information and will share it with
our partners for legitimate business purposes. We will share your Accumulated
Information only subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, or subject to your
prior agreement.

11. ACCESSING, UPDATING, OR DELETING YOUR ACCUMULATED INFORMATION

If you find that the information on your Account is not accurate, complete or up
to date, please provide us the necessary information to correct it at
support@photobucket.com. At any time, you can contact us at:
support@photobucket.com and request to access the Accumulated Information that
we keep about you. We may keep all information in an off-line form, for archival
purposes or as otherwise required by law. We will ask you to provide us certain
credentials to make sure that you are who you claim to be and to the extent
required under the applicable law, will make good- faith efforts to locate your
Accumulated Information that you request to access. You may send us a request at
support@photobucket.com if you wish for us to delete your Personal Information.
Provided there is no legal basis that requires us to retain it, we will delete
your Personal Information within thirty (30) days of the receipt of your
request. Such a deletion may make it impossible for you to continuing using the
Services.

12. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF INFORMATION

We are a company headquartered in the United States of America, but our Services
may be accessed in any country where it is legal to do so. If you are located
outside the United States, the information that we collect from you may be
transferred to, and stored and processed at, a destination in the United States.
By submitting information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.

From time to time, we will make operational decisions which will have an impact
on the Services we provide. We make sure that our data hosting service
providers, provide us with adequate confidentiality and security commitments. If
you are a resident in a jurisdiction where transfer of your Accumulated
Information to another jurisdiction requires your agreement, then you provide us
your express and unambiguous agreement to such transfer. You can contact our
privacy team at: support@photobucket.com for further information about data
transfer.

13. DATA RETENTION AND YOUR RIGHTS

When you use the Services and/or provide Accumulated Information through the
Services, numerous factors influence how long we will keep your Personal
Information. For example, we will keep your Personal Information while you have
an Account with us or while we are providing Services to you. We will also keep
your Personal Information to comply with any legal (statutory, contractual, tax,
etc.) obligations. Different retention periods apply for different types of
Personal Information. The following factors typically affect the retention
period:

 * Necessity for the provision of our Services
   This includes things such as creating an Account with you, maintaining and
   improving the performance of our Services, keeping our systems secure, and
   maintaining appropriate business and financial records. Most retention
   periods are determined on the basis of this general rule.
 * Consent-based processing of Personal Information
   If we process Personal Information on the basis of consent (including consent
   to the extended storage), we store the information for as long as necessary
   in order to process it according to your consent.
 * Statutory, contractual or other similar obligations
   We may be required to retain information for certain periods of time pursuant
   to applicable laws or official orders (e.g. for legal compliance, tax,
   accounting or auditing purposes), or to detect and prevent fraudulent or
   illegal activity on Photobucket. We may also retain Personal Information
   relating to pending or future legal disputes. Personal information contained
   in contracts, notifications and business letters may be subject to statutory
   storage obligations. We store the data for as long as necessary to comply
   with these obligations.



We will not retain your Personal Information for longer than necessary for the
purposes set out in this policy. If you would like your Personal Information or
User Uploaded Content deleted, please email: support@photobucket.com. Upon our
receipt of your request, deletion will occur within thirty (30) days.

14. SECURITY
