CHANGES IN PRIVACY POLICY
All “Personal Information” (“Personal Information” is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate 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. WindowsWear reserves the right to amend the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion and will provide notice on the home page of the Site when we make material changes to this Privacy Policy. If as the result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which WindowsWear is allowed to use your Personal Information, you can do so by following the procedure described in the section entitled “Updating Your Personal Information and Privacy Preferences.”
You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, any material changes to the Privacy Policy after such notice has been posted with the following exception: If at the time you provide Personal Information to WindowsWear you are given the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either by WindowsWear or by third parties, WindowsWear will not change your preference in this regard without your express consent. However, if WindowsWear is acquired by or merged with another entity, WindowsWear 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 your consent, but WindowsWear will provide notice of such asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers on this Site.

As a visitor to the Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any Personal Information.
However, when you order products or services as a WindowsWear subscriber, we may collect the following Personal Information from you:
Contact information such as your name, phone number, mailing address and email address; and Billing information such as the number, expiration date, card type and billing address of your credit card; and Demographic information such as your job title, job description and company name and company type. If you submit content to WindowsWear for licensing, you may be asked to provide the following information:
Contact information such as your name, phone number, primary address, and email address.
WindowsWear will verify this information by asking you to either: a) upload a scan of a government issued ID (which will be stored on our servers); or b) provide a credit card number. Your credit card number will be used solely for the purpose of verifying your name and address. The credit card number will not be stored.
Payment and contributor information including, but not limited to, payout method, payout email, desired display name, skill level, content focus, etc.
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.
As is true of most websites, when you use the Site, WindowsWear or third parties authorized by WindowsWear may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. WindowsWear also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. To better understand the needs of our visitors to the Site we may occasionally match such information with your Personal Information.
In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users, and prevent abuse of our system, we may on occasion supplement the Personal Information you submit to us with information from third-party sources. For example, we may supplement your contact 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.
