Our Groovy Privacy Policy


SKYBOY PHOTOS PRIVACY POLICY

I can't believe it! You read down this far? Nobody ever cares about this content. Thanks for caring.

You want to find out more about our privacy policy, right? Well, here you go:

I'm gonna let you know how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from skyboyphotos.com (hereinafter referred to, legally, as the “Site”).

We don't add your name or email address to our email marketing unless you specifically sign up for our newsletters. I know how it feels to get spam!

But if you would like to be notified of my new products, events, craft fair appearances, books, other writings, calendars, greeting cards, new photographs or images, or just plain crazy ideas, many of which we haven't even figured out what to do with yet, if indeed we do anything; or (of course) special offers and markups and sales and all that stuff ~ then, please, by all means, take a moment to sign up for my newsletter on the front page of the website. We offer the very best spam on the internet. Quality, not quantity.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Wow, that sounds like something out of a B movie!

Well, when you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”. It's only fair. This way, in our two-way relationship, we know a little bit about you. You know pretty much everything about US, after all! And we don't withhold much personal information about us. It's not what poets do.


We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

So, we're basically checking out what you do on our site. To be honest, I don't even pay attention to most of it. But we gotta let you know. So there.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number.
