TERMS OF USE OF WEBSITE
PRIVACY POLICY
Effective October, 2008.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe how certain information is collected from you while you use this website and how Messy Face Designs, Inc. (“Messy Face”) uses and shares such information. This website is intended as a business-to-business website and is not intended for use by the general public. In addition, only businesses with an established business relationship with Messy Face may use this website and provide information through this website.
We continue to develop our website and to take advantage of technologies to improve the services we provide. As a result, our policies will continue to change. By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and any subsequent changes to it, which changes are effective at the time they are posted. We encourage you to look to this Privacy Policy on a regular basis.
The information we receive, and how we use it, depends on what you do when visiting our website. We collect and use your non-personal information (information that is not identifiable to you personally) differently than confidential information.
Non-Personal Information
If you visit our websites only to view images or read information we may collect certain non-personal information from your computer. This information is collected from your computer’s web browser and may include information such as the following (“non-personal information”):
- the type of web browser software you use
- the name of the domain from which you access the Internet
- the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our websites
- the date and time you access our websites and which pages you visited
If you only view images or read information on our websites, we do not collect or learn your name, e-mail address, home address, or other information about you.
We also may place a text file called a "session cookie" in the browser files of your computer when you visit. “Session cookies” are not loaded onto your hard drive, and do not give us any personal information. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our websites may not work properly for you if you do so.
We will use non-personal information to help us make our websites more useful to visitors and for other business purposes. We may prepare reports and other materials using non-personal information. We may share non-personal information with others with no limitations.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Information marked as Confidential. If you provide information to us that is specifically labeled “Confidential” or with a similar marking, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of such information. We will use and share confidential information to provide services requested by you, and may share such confidential information with third parties as reasonably necessary to perform services requested by you. For example, we may share credit card information with a bank in order to process and receive payment from you.
Mailing Lists. If you provide us with a mailing list or a list of actual or prospective customer information, we will treat such information as confidential as described above even if such list is not explicitly marked as “confidential.”
Account and Name Information
The Website includes forms that give you the ability to place an order, be added to a mailing list or take a similar action. If you take any of these actions you will be asked to provide certain information about the business you work for and certain name and contact information. We may store and use this information to maintain your account or provide you with requested services. We may send updates and announcements by email or other methods regarding our products and services and the products and services of others. You agree that Messy Face may contact you for advertising or any other purposes through any and all contact information you provide to us, such as email, telephone, fax, or mail.
Credit Card Information If, in the process of placing an order, you provide us with credit card or similar account-specific payment information we will protect that information as required by law and by our agreements with various financial processing industries. We may use credit card and account information and share such information as necessary to process your order, receive payment, and as otherwise permitted by law.
LINKS ON OUR WEBSITES
Our website may contain links to other websites. We provide these links for your convenience, but we do not review, control, or monitor the privacy practices of other sites. We are not responsible for the performance of these sites or for your business dealings with them. Your use of other web sites is subject to the terms and conditions of those sites, including the privacy policies of those sites.
OTHER DISCLOSURES AND USE OF INFORMATION
In addition to the other ways described in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose Confidential and other types of information, including account and order information, to any third party if we believe that disclosure is necessary: (1) to conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other legal process received by us, whether or not a response is required by applicable law; (2) to enforce our Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale or to protect our rights; or (3) to protect the safety of members of the public and users of the service. We have the right to transfer Confidential, personal, account, and all other information, to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of our assets, merger, or similar transaction.
PRIVACY RIGHTS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Website users residing in California may submit a request to us asking for information regarding (1) the categories of personal information (regarding them individually, not their business) that we may share with third parties, and (2) a list of the names and addresses of all third parties with whom we have shared such information for their marketing purposes during the previous calendar year. To request this information, please submit a request to:

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
If we decide to make a significant change to our Privacy Policy, we will post a notice on this or a similar page of our Website.
WEBSITE SECURITY
Your information is stored on servers in the United States. We may contract with third parties to host this website and operate such servers on our behalf. When you use a form on our website to send us personal information, we use an industry standard technology called Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to secure your information. If your browser is capable of SSL (and most are), the form you send us will be automatically encrypted or encoded before it is sent over the Internet. When you send us an encrypted or encoded form, an image of a closed lock or a solid key should appear at the bottom of your browser screen. Neither encryption nor encoding can guarantee your message is protected against unlawful interception. In addition, please be aware that when you send us an e-mail but do not use a form on this website, your email may not be secure. You agree that we are not responsible for any illegal action by any third party.
