In various places on pinkmuse, we collect “Personally Identifiable Information,” such as your name, gender, age, postal address, telephone number, credit card information, e-mail address,or other information that can be used to contact you or identify you as an individual. We collect some of this information when you register for membership.

We also collect “Anonymous Information” such as your IP address, the type of browser you use, the pages on our Sites that you have visited, and the advertisements that you have clicked on. Your Personally Identifiable Information is linked to your Anonymous Information. We also use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer and is stored on your hard drive. When you visit our Site, the cookie identifies your computer to us so that you do not have to re-register each time you visit.

How we use the information we collect

We use Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to communicate with you, to process orders for products and services, to customize advertising on pinkmuse, to conduct research for internal purposes and to use such information to improve pinkmuse. If you have uploaded any art work and/or thumbnails in accordance with the Submissions Agreement, you have also authorized pinkmuse to use your name and biographical materials publicly for advertising and promotional purposes. We use information that is not personally identifiable to determine how people use our web site and its services. This data tells us information including how often users click on our advertisements, which files are downloaded most frequently, and which areas of our site are the most popular. Analyzing this data allows us to improve the offerings on and performance of pinkmuse. Using your IP address, we can also determine the general physical location of a user and may at times use this information to better target advertising to users.

How we share information

Except as noted below, pinkmuse does not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties unless you give us your permission or we need to share such information in order to provide products or services you have requested. We use third parties to help with some of the products and services available on our site, such as processing payments and fulfilling orders for products through pinkmuse.n We also engage third parties to assist us by tracking the number of visitors to the Sites that have "clicked-through" from specified promotions on third party sites and those visitors' activities on pinkmuse. When we supply personally identifiable information to these third parties, we require them to use it only for the function they are helping us with. When you see parts of our site with a prominent brand of another company, information you supply (or authorize for use) in that part of the site will be shared with the other company that is cooperating in providing the service. We advise that you visit that company’s site to learn more about their information practices. We aggregate the Anonymous Information that we collect and exchange it with advertisers and others who are interested in our services. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information when required by law or under the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to conform to applicable law, comply with subpoenas, court orders or legal process served on pinkmuse, to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, and to protect the property or interests of pinkmuse, its agents and employees, personal safety, or the public. Under such circumstances, pinkmuse may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of the disclosure, and pinkmuse reserves the right to not provide such notice in its sole discretion. If we cease operation, your information may be transferred to and used by another company that offers similar or related products or services. While we cannot predict a great deal about such an unlikely event, we would hope this could provide you continuity of service.

Even if you choose not to receive information from us, we reserve the right to communicate with you on matters we consider especially important.
