MyPicot reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy for any changes.

If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website.
If you are under the age of 13, you are not eligible to use the Website, and we ask you not to submit any personal information to us.

Collection of Information
Personal Information.
Use of certain features of the Website may require submission of certain personal information, including your first and last name, email address, a nickname (or other user ID) and a password.
Non personally identifiable Information.
MyPicot may also collect or receive additional non-personally identifiable usage information specifically related to the use of a particular feature or offering on the Website, and responses to the offerings and advertisements presented on the Website.
MyPicot may also collect or receive (in some cases as part of the internet communication protocol) certain non-personally identifiable technical information, when the Website and pages are visited or when a MyPicot client is used.
How is the information being used?
The information is used to operate and improve the features, offerings and content presented to you by MyPicot, to personalize the content and advertisements provided to you; to fulfill your requests for products, programs, and services; to communicate with you and respond to your inquiries; to conduct research about your use of the Website; and to help offer you other products, programs, or services that may be of interest.
Please note that MyPicot may use your personally identifiable information to present offers to you on behalf of business partners and advertisers. However, while MyPicot's business partners and advertisers may receive aggregate data about MyPicot users, any personally identifiable information of yours will not be shared with third parties unless you have consented to the sharing of this information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, your information may be accessed and disclosed if and as required by legal procedures, as determined by MyPicot in good faith. Furthermore, MyPicot may transfer personally identifiable information in the event of a transfer of ownership of MyPicot or any of its websites or products, in which case the information could become subject to a different privacy policy.
Paid Content
We provide some of the MyPicot contents to you free of charge and other MyPicot contents require payment. We may charge a fee for any portion of the MyPicot content. You must be at least 18 years old or have obtained permission from your parent or guardian in order to make any purchases of, on or through the MyPicot Services. We will provide you with advance notice of all fees we charge and any changes to our fees. If you continue to use the MyPicot Services after a fee has been imposed or increased, you agree to pay the fee or increase.
Cookies
MyPicot may use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to enhance and personalize your experience of the Website, including to operate and improve offerings through the Website; to help authenticate your identity when you visit and transact with the Website; to remember your preferences and registration information; to present and help measure and research the effectiveness of the various offerings, advertisements, and e-mail communications (by determining which e-mails you open and act upon); and to customize the content and advertisements provided to you.
MyPicot does not require that you accept cookies, and you may disable cookies at any time. However, some functionality of our Website may be impaired if you decline to accept cookies. To disable cookies, follow the instructions in your web browser.
What is MyPicot.com's practice regarding IP addresses?
We collect and analyze traffic on our website by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are assigned to each computer browser accessing the Internet. An IP address, by itself, cannot identify you personally. However, when combined with other information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your IP address can be used to identify the computer originating a message.
MyPicot.com includes the sender's IP Address in the source of each ecard HTML that is created at the website. This is available to the ecard recipient and anyone else who has access to the recipient's ecard. This limits your ability to communicate anonymously using ecards. Ecards are not intended for anonymous communications, and such activity is expressly prohibited by our Terms of Use.
Third Party Ad Advertising
MyPicot or its advertisers may use third party ad networks and ad serving companies to help sell and present advertisements online in connection with the Website. These third party ad companies may use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to help present such advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements' effectiveness and to compile anonymous statistics about MyPicot users. The use of these technologies by these third party ad companies is subject to their own privacy policies, not MyPicot's. These third party ad companies may also monitor MyPicot for the purpose of reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisements, "click-throughs" and/or other activities.
MyPicot does not provide advertisers access to any personally identifiable information that you have provided to MyPicot (keeping in mind that anything you have elected to share publicly on the site is available to everyone to see).
Security
MyPicot has implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect and safeguard the personally identifiable information under our control from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss. All our personnel that have access to, and are associated with the processing of your personally identifiable information, are obligated to respect the confidentiality of the information. MyPicot's Privacy Policy is to share personal information only with the owner's informed consent. With your consent, from time-to-time, MyPicot may provide its business partners with contact details for direct marketing purposes of relevant services, products, and programs. If you no longer wish your information to be shared, please let us know. If you have further inquires regarding MyPicot's information sharing practices, please let us know.
