The Platform provides users with access to data, information, and other content (“Content”), as well as features, resources, and services (“Services”), relating to Studio Designer’s Platform.

If you are viewing our Platform to sign up as a designer (“Customer”), on sign-up or Account creation you will be requested to enter into an agreement with Studio Designer (“Agreement”). That Agreement may contain additional privacy disclosures and obligations. If there is any conflict between the Agreement and this Privacy Policy, the Agreement prevails.

If we make revisions that change the way we collect, use, or share personal information, we will post those changes in this Privacy Policy. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you keep up to date on our most current policies and practices. We will note the effective date of the latest version of our Privacy Policy at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it.

1. Collection of personal information. Personal information refers to information that is related to you, and may include things such as your email address, mailing address, mobile number, demographic information, participation in marketing programs, and marketing preferences. Studio Designer collects personal information when Users voluntarily submit it to us. For example, we may collect or receive information from you when you create an Account, edit your Account Information, use or access Service or Content, or otherwise interact with us or other Users of the Platform. We also collect information from our Customers about their customers, such as products ordered, delivery address, name, and other information about that customer’s project.

In addition to personal information that we may receive from you, Studio Designer may collect other information from Users using the following technologies:

• Cookies. “Cookies” are small bits of information that the Platform places on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on the Platform to make your visits to the Platform more enjoyable and valuable to you by providing a customized experience and recognizing your preferences when you visit the Platform. If you’ve chosen to disable cookies on your browser, some of the functionality of the Platform may be lost. Certain Services provided by Studio Designer, require that cookies be enabled in your browser and cannot be used when you have disabled cookies in your browser.
• Web Server Logs. Web server logs are records of activity created by the computer that delivers the webpages you request to your browser. For example, a web server log may record the search term you entered or the link you clicked to bring you to a webpage. The web server log also may record information about your browser, such as your IP address and the cookies set on your browser by the server.

Studio Designer participates in behavioral-based advertising. This means that a third party may use technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about you so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interest. That advertising may appear either on the Platform, or on other web sites.

In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including Customers, third parties, or publicly available sources.

Lastly, we may collect personal information that is necessary for our legitimate interests, which will be disclosed to you at the time of collection. Studio Designer will use this information for the purposes of which it was collected.

2. Use of personal information. Studio Designer’s primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with services requested by you. Studio Designer may also use personal information about you for various purposes, including without limitation to:

In addition, if Studio Designer sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, Studio Designer may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of that transaction.

The Platform may offer you the ability to share your personal information through a social networking site (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), using such site’s integrated tools (e.g., Facebook “Like” button, or Twitter “Tweet” button). The use of such integrated tools enables you to share personal information about yourself with other individuals or the public, depending on the settings that you have established with such social networking site. Additionally, by making personal information available on the Platform, you “opt in” to allow Studio Designer to provide such personal information to a social networking site without your further consent.
