myphotobook takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We want you to
know when we save your data and how we use it.
As a company under private law we have to comply with the regulations set out by
the German government we are subject to conditions like the Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes (BDSG)
and the Mediendienstestaatsvertrages (MdStV). We have made technical and organisational
arrangements to secure the compliance with these regulations. This is also valid for
our external service partners.
myphotobook provides you with a safe and private environment to store, share and
order printed photobooks.
Every single photobook of yours is protected by your email address and a personal
password of your choice. It is not possible for other users to view the photobooks
and stored images therein, without having these two pieces of information.
If you use cookies and want to be recognised at the beginning of each session, every
other user of your computer has the possibility to view your photobooks and personal
details.
If you want to grant a certain group of people access to your images, you can send
a personal invitation by email for a certain photobook by clicking on “MY BOOKS”. The
recipient of your invitation just has to follow the link in the email to have access to
the chosen photobook and all the images stored therein.
In order to store and upload photobooks you have to provide us with certain personal
details. We need your name and surname, your mailing address, your password and a valid
email address. Please use your email as a distinct username that, in connection with
your password, can’t be used by any other of our customers. For the authentification
process and to activate your personal online account you will receive an email after an
initial receipt of your photobook files. The email contains a link to activate your
online account.
Together with a personal cookie (if activated) these data are crucial for the use of
our services and will therefore be saved. All your data will be saved on specially
protected servers. Access to these servers is only granted few specially authorized
personnel, in charge of the technical, managerial or editorial care of the servers.
After successful registration and when cookies are activated, the system will
recognise you every time you visit a myphotobook webpage. In case you are not using
cookies you can log-on at the beginning of a session by providing your email address and
your personal password. Thereafter, all your entries will be relocated to you using
so-called sessionIDs. The seesionIDs will be deleted after your visit.
You can change your personal details at any time by going to “MY ACCOUNT”.
We use your personal details only internally to enhance our service for you. Your
personal details will not be given out to third parties, and are not accessible at any
time by third parties.
As soon as you want to order a photobook or any other product, we need additional
information to process your request. This includes your mailing address and information
about your chosen payment method. You can add this information to your user profile
over a secured connection.
In order to provide you with a quick and accurate service we give this information
to our distribution-partners. Our partners will handle your data with the same care as
we do. Storage, publication or sale of your data for other means than processing your
order is contractually excluded and therefore illegal.
You can view and change all the data stored with myphotobook at any time. At your
request we delete all your data after verification of your identity. Thereby, all
access to your stored images will be stopped and all photobooks in this account will
be deleted.
We constantly screen and check all uploaded images on our pages for illegal content,
in order to account for regulations and ethical standards. Images that do not comply
with applicable law or our ethical standards (e. g. pornographic or violence
glorifying material) will be deleted without prior notification and the user will be
reprehended to our terms of use.
If a user repeatedly infringes upon our conditions of use we reserve the rights
to deny this user access to myphotobook without prior notice, to hand over data for
criminal proceedings, and to delete all image files.
We are aware of the fact that there are different opinions about whether an image
containing nudity, for example, has more artistic or pornographic traits. Or in
which context an image that is showing violence is used (e. g. documentary). Because
we cannot ostracise children and adoloscents from using our services, we will delete
relevant images in case of doubt.
From time to time myphotobook will make changes in the way it handles your personal
data without prior notification. However, we will send you notification per email, no
matter if you are subscribing to a newsletter or not. Depending on the change(s), your
explicit approval might be required to continue the use of myphotobook services.
Please send all questions, comments or sugguestions about this Privacy Policy to
support@myphotobook.co.uk. We will be happy to handle your request!
