Please note that the practices of Steven Convery Network, its affiliates, and agents ("Steven J Convery"), with respect to data collected and used by Steven J Convery in connection with this web site and all other web sites of the Steven Convery Network with authorized links to this policy (collectively, the "Site") and products and services available or enabled from Steven J Convery via the Site ("Products and Services"), are governed by this online privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") as amended from time to time, and not the privacy policy in effect at the time the data was collected. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those Steven J Convery sites, products and services that do not display or link to this Privacy Policy or that have their own privacy statements. Please regularly review the Privacy Policy. If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should immediately discontinue use of the Site and the Products and Services enabled by the Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities, web sites other than the Site, or products and services not available or enabled via the Site. To the extent that any terms of the Privacy Policy conflict with the terms of an existing written (including electronic) agreement between you and Steven J Convery regarding the use of specific areas of the Site or specific Products and Services (including Product- and Service-specific licenses, terms of use, or privacy disclosures) (collectively, "Product Agreements"), the terms of the Product Agreements shall govern.
The Site and the Products and Services are intended for adult audiences, and Steven J Convery does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.
All personal information ("personal information" is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify the person to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. Steven J Convery may change the Privacy Policy from time to time at his sole discretion and will provide notice of all changes in the Privacy Policy through indications on this Privacy Policy and in the footer of the web pages with authorized links to this Privacy Policy. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy after such notice has been posted with the following exception: if at the time you provide personal information to Steven J Convery you limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either by Steven J Convery or by third parties, Steven J Convery will not change your preference in this regard without your express consent. However, if Steven J Convery sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or Steven J Convery (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by or merged with another entity, you agree that Steven J Convery may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity without obtaining your further consent. Steven J Convery will provide notice of such asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers on this Site.
Personal information on this Site is collected on behalf of Steven Convery Network by Steven J Convery, who is responsible for this Site.
The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your personal information.
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as utilizing online or hosted Products and Services, Steven J Convery may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting a form. It is optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Steven J Convery may ask that you provide certain personal information (as well as certain non-personal information that may be tied to personal information), such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), country of residence, e-mail address, employer, job title and department, and telephone and facsimile numbers,. When ordering Products and Services via the Site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number and billing and shipping information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
When you use the Site and the Products and Services, Steven J Convery may also collect certain information about your computer to facilitate, evaluate and verify your use of the Site and the Products and Services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, referring or exit web pages, click patterns, Session ID (a unique identifier assigned to the browser in connection to the Site), and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. Steven J Convery also uses such information to measure traffic patterns on the Site and usage of the Products and Services.
By using this Site and the Products and Services, you agree and acknowledge that personal information collected through the Site or in connection with the Products and Services may be transferred across national boundaries and stored and processed in any of the countries around the world in which Steven J Convery and the Steven Convery Network maintains offices, including the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transfer, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted third party vendors or agents of Steven J Convery such as credit card processors, shipping agents, web hosting providers, mail and email service providers and web analytic providers, to help facilitate Steven J Convery in providing certain functions. Another instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible, and the pages are hosted for Steven J Convery by such third party vendors. For example, on the sign up pages for some newsletters, the pages may be hosted by a third party vendor, but appear to be Steven Convery Network page and they are therefore governed by this Privacy Policy. Personal information may be shared with these providers to fulfill the service. Such third parties are bound by contract with Steven J Convery not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties.
Steven J Convery has established relationships with various providers of services and products who are not part of the Steven Convery Network and who may not themselves be providing products and services to Steven J Convery or on the Steven Convery Network’s behalf ("Providers"). Providers do not include third parties contracted by Steven J Convery to perform services on Steven Convery Network’s behalf. The services of these Providers may be available to you from the Site, from web sites that are linked to the Site, or in connection with the Products and Services. Typically, these Providers offer services that Steven J Convery customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with Products and Services. In order to use Providers’ products and services, you may be required to provide personal information to the Providers or agree to allow Steven J Convery to share your personal information with such Providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a Provider’s web site will be subject to the privacy policy posted on that site, and personal information that you provide while on the Site will be subject to this Privacy Policy
In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users, prevent fraud and prevent abuse of our Site and the Products and Services, as well as to provide more consistent, relevant experiences to our users, we may on occasion supplement or correct the personal information you submit to us and your Internet Protocol (IP) address with information in our other databases or information from third-party sources. For example, if permitted under applicable law, we may supplement your Registration Information with address information provided by the U.S. Postal Service to qualify your information and prevent errors in our database. As permissible, we may also supplement the information you provide to us with demographic and other information (such as age or interest in photography) stored in third-party databases in order to make it more likely that marketing communications we send will be of interest to you.
Steven J Convery collects your information in order to record, support and facilitate your participation in the activities you select and to prevent fraud and unlawful use. If you subscribe to or register for Products and Services, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. If you enter information it can be collected and used to contact you regarding you request. Your personal information may also be used to track customer preferences to provide a customized Site experience and keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services of Steven J Convery, Steven Convery Network and selected Providers unless you have opted not to receive such communications or such communications are prohibited by law. Steven J Convery does not share personal information it receives from residents of any place with such Providers for the Providers’ own marketing purposes unless Steven J Convery has received an opt-in from you.
Steven J Convery may collect information about the use of the Products and Services and the Site, such as the number of downloads, types of Services used, how many users we receive daily, Site pages visited, and the IP address of your computer. This information is generally collected in aggregate form and may be tracked as part of Steven J Convery’s customer order review and fraud prevention efforts.
Steven J Convery may use aggregate, identifying and nonidentifying statistical data for improving the Site and the Products and Services, providing more relevant experiences to our customers and for statistical analysis.
Steven J Convery recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on the Site and in connection with the Products and Services. Steven J Convery may communicate information to you regarding products, services, and special offers available from Steven J Convery unless you have opted not to receive such communications or such communications are prohibited by law, although in such cases we may find it necessary to continue to communicate with you regarding your use of the Site and the Products and Services. In addition, you may receive communications and special offers from selected Providers (or from Steven J Convery on behalf of such Providers), but only if you previously opted in to receive such communications. Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, Steven J Convery will not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent. If you have opted to receive email communications from our selected Providers and later wish to discontinue receipt of these emails, please contact those third parties directly to update your preferences.
There are other instances in which Steven J Convery may divulge your personal information, such as when required by law, regulation, or litigation. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that such disclosure should be made for reasons of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance.
Please note that any information you post to a public bulletin board, blog or chat room, help, wikis, personal sharing URLs and user profiles (the "Community Sites") is available to all persons accessing that location, and your e-mail address and other personal information or content you upload may also be posted on these Community Sites. The information you share, including your email address, would then be available to all persons accessing these Community Sites, and such information may be read, collected or used by others for any purpose, including sending you unsolicited messages. Steven J Convery is not responsible for any information you elect to submit in these Community Sites or the use of such information. In addition, you should be aware that some Community Sites offer a service in which subscribers are e-mailed a copy of all messages posted to the Community Sites on a particular topic. Consequently, if you post a message to such Community Sites, your e-mail address will be sent to those subscribers who have indicated an interest in the topic of your message. If you do not wish for your personal information to be posted or distributed in this manner, you should not participate in the Community Sites.
In order to improve our Products and Services and the Site and provide more convenient, relevant experiences to our customers, Steven Convery Network and our vendors and agents may use "cookies," "web beacons," and similar devices to track your activities. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables Steven J Convery to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. A web beacon is a small transparent gif image that is embedded in an HTML page or email used to track when the page or email has been viewed. A similar device may be used by which a Product and Service may send data to a server when a set of user-initiated events occur such as the "Add to Cart" button is clicked. This device is similar to a cookie in that it tracks your visit and the data can only be read by the server that receives the data. It is different than a cookie in that it is not browser-based, may not function as an identification card, and does not store any data on your computer.
Personal Information that users provide about other individuals for tell-a-friend or other referral features on the Site or within Products and Services is used by Steven J Convery to send an initial communication to the person whose details you have provided. If you are invited by someone else to participate in shared editing or viewing of documents, photos, web sites or other content, you will typically be required to contact the person who invited you to update, correct or delete the personal information they provided about you. In general, even though we may delete an account you hold with us in these types of shared editing or viewing areas, we may continue to retain information regarding your past actions with respect to content reviews or sharing initiated by others.
Steven J Convery also hires other companies and individuals to place Steven J Convery and or Steven Convery Network banner ads on other web sites. Such companies perform tracking and reporting activities on ads served and user reaction ("third-party advertisement servers"). Third-party advertisement servers are subject to their own privacy policies. Steven J Convery may also allow other companies to display advertisements on certain pages of the Site or within the Products and Services. If you click on these advertisements these companies may place a persistent cookie on your computer which may allow them to display further advertisements to you.
Also, please note that Steven J Convery is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of non-Steven J Convery web sites to which this Site or any other Steven J Convery web site may link. You should review the privacy policy of such sites before using the sites.
