1.What Personal Information Do We
Collect?
Information You
Provide. We receive and store information you
enter.For example, when you search
to license content, or when you supply information such as
your email address or name. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of
some of our features. Note that we do not store any credit card
information.We use the
information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your
requests, filtering access to available content, customizing
future searches for you, improving our website, and
communicating with you.In some instances, the "we" includes the various content
providers who include their images or footage in the search results.
We do not, however, sell or barter your personal information. Please see the "opt-out"
selection in Section 4 of this policy.
Cookies. Like many
websites, we use "cookies".Cookies are small sequences of letters and numbers that
we transfer to your hard drive that
allow us to recognize you and to provide you with a customized search
experience, and special access, such as the ability to save your
lightbox or clipbin, for example.If you do not want us
to use cookies which enable certain functions, you can easily
disable them by going to the toolbar of
your web browser, and clicking on the "help" button.Follow the instructions that will
prevent the browser from accepting cookies, or set the browser to inform
you when you receive a new cookie.In addition, you may visit this and other websites anonymously
through the use of utilities provided by other private companies.

Information: Every
computer has an IP (Internet Protocol) address.IP addresses of computers used to visit
this site are noted.In addition,
we automatically collect other information such as browser
types, operating systems, and the URL addresses or identity of sites
clicked

Information from Other
Sources.We might receive
information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information.This may include
updated delivery and address information from content suppliers or other
sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next
content license
or communication more easily.
2.How Do We Use Your
Information?
Customized Search.We use your information to better
serve you by providing a customized search experience and to
save certain functions for later reuse.As noted above, you may "opt-out" of
this customization, or even visit and search anonymously.
Agents. We employ
other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.
Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, and
processing credit card payments. They have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other
purposes. Credit card payments are processed on the secure servers of
Authorize.net. No credit card information is stored at our site or

Special Offers.We may send you special offers from time
to time, unless you choose to "opt-out" of receiving such offers.In addition, we may also send you
special offers from other companies, such as stock photo
agencies.Again, you may "opt-out".If
we send you offers from other businesses, we do not share your personal
information with them.The offers
come directly through us.Please
see the "opt-out" selection at the end of this policy.
Business Transfers. As
we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy web
sites or the corporation itself or other assets. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the
transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that we are
acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred
assets.
Law Enforcement.If we receive a lawful court order
to release account or other personal information then we will comply with
the law.We will also release
information when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of
others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection, credit risk reduction and
copyright infringement.
3.How Do We Protect the Security of Your
Information?
Most importantly,
we do not store any credit card information. Credit card transactions
occur via secure processes at major companies that specialize in this
service.
In some instances,
we work to protect the
security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
We use a firewall to protect
against unlawful intrusion.
We limit access to your
information on a "need to know" basis.
It is important for you to
protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your
computer.
No system can guarantee
absolute security, just as the finest lock can not guarantee physical
security.However, we take every
reasonable precaution to assure that your data is secure.
4.Your Choice:Opt-out.
It is your choice
whether to receive emails, special offers or other communications
from us or the participating content suppliers at our site. The
option to Opt-In or Opt-Out for benefits exists in various locations,
such as the registration form. You may also choose to not use certain
functions, such as the Quote Request form or Research Request form,
that directly convey your information to content providers. The following section provides you with this
choice.
