Why A Privacy Policy?
Image Marketing Group respects your individual privacy. This Privacy Policy
('Policy') embodies our commitment to its protection through adherence to fair electronic information practices. This Policy puts you, the individual, in control of how your personal information is processed . You have our promise that we will not electronically process your personal information in any way that is incompatible with this Policy.
This Privacy Policy protects your privacy by:
Informing you about:
- The types of personal information Image Marketing Group collects about you through its Web sites;
- How it collects that information;
- The general purposes for which it collects such information;
- The types of organizations to which it discloses the information;
- The choices and means by which individuals may limit its use and disclosure.
Empowering you to choose:
- Whether and how certain personal information you provide is used (where such use is unrelated to the uses for which you originally disclosed it); and
- Whether and the manner in which a third party uses certain personal information you provide (where such use is unrelated to the uses for which you originally disclosed it).
Assuring you that Image Marketing Group:
- Takes reasonable precautions to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction;
- Implements reasonable policies and procedures to ensure that personal information is kept only for the purposes for which it has been gathered;
- Uses reasonable measures to ensure that we have accurately and completely recorded the personal information you have provided; and
- Provides you reasonable access to your personal information as well as procedures for correcting or modifying that information where appropriate.
Ensuring accountability to individuals who believe that Image Marketing Group has not complied with these privacy principles.
Getting to Know Our Customers
Image Marketing Group is in the business of putting people in touch with other
people. That requires more than simply offering innovative technical services.
It also requires that we understand you, our customer, and your needs. We have taken
the time to get acquainted with each one of our many customers.
We get to know you primarily through the information you provide to us when
signing up for, or using, one or more of our services. The information you provide ranges from basic contact information, to payment information, to the technical coordinates of your web servers. (i.e. The application for Lead Generation services found at Image Marketing Group website's
is a representative illustration of the information we request of you.) All of the information we request from you when purchasing our services is obligatory unless otherwise noted on the relevant form. When you purchase our services, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete and updated information.
After you have signed up for our services, we may be in communication with
you about your account, technical questions you may have about services provided by us, or any other matter relating to those services. Those communications are essential to our relationship with you and to our ability to provide you with quality services that are responsive to your needs. At the same time, those communications give us helpful insights about you, your preferences and the ways in which we might improve our services. We therefore may maintain this information for future use.
For operational and quality assurance purposes, we take note of whether
and how you use the information and services that we provide, such as by recording sales patterns and by maintaining log files of users' access to site files.
Finally, in order to provide our interactive services, such as the outsourced services and various message boards, we store your messages to or from other people. Be assured that only the vendor providing our E-mail services has access to the e-mail messages and attachments that our Website stores. Image Marketing Group employees do not have access to these messages or attachments.
The information we receive from or about you is stored on systems designed
to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information. We also encrypt your transmission of sensitive information to us (e.g., credit card numbers, account passwords) in the interest of heightened privacy protection and information integrity.
Third Party Advertising and Cookies
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our Web site and
other Web sites. In the course of serving advertisements, these companies may place or recognize a unique 'cookie' on your browser, and may use information (not including your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other web sites in order to measure advertising
effectiveness and to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. For more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having your information used by these companies, please visit privacy.html.
Image Marketing Group may share Web site usage information about visitors to our Web site with a reputable third-party advertising company for the purpose of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on this site and other sites. For this purpose, we and our third-party advertising company note some of the pages you visit on our Web site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear
gifs). The information collected by our third-party advertising company through the use of these pixel tags is not personally identifiable. For more information about our third-party advertiser, please click here. To opt out of the targeting program, please click here.
Information Corrections or Changes
You have the ability to correct or change certain information in our records,
such as your address and contact information. The process for changing your information begins at client-logon.html. You may change this information at any time and as often as necessary. If you need assistance or have questions about correcting information, you can contact them via e-mail at customerservice@imagemarketing.info.
How We Put Information to Good Use
We use information about you for purposes of monitoring and improving our
internal operations, as well as to ensure we: (i) bill you properly, (ii) administer your account in accordance with your agreements with us, and (iii) properly perform the services you have requested.
We also use the information we collect to monitor and improve our internal
operations, as well as to improve the experience of users in our network of sites. For example, we may correlate sales results information with data about individual users. This data helps us to determine how much our customers use parts of the site, allowing us to enhance it to fit the needs of as many of our customers as possible. We may also break down overall usage statistics according to customers' sales history, browser types, and MIME types by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser).
Another example of our use of information to enhance the experience of users
in our network of sites is our reliance on cookie files. We use cookie files to make it easier for users to access our site or services. A cookie file is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. However, the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created
by other sites. We use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above) when you register for Image Marketing Group services. When you register, we may use a cookie to store a unique, random user ID. We use this ID to identify you anonymously in our database and to track the pages you visit
on our site.
If you have set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will
receive the warning message with each cookie. You may refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser; however, some of our sites may require a cookie for access.
Our lead generation business may use personal information contained in the registration database in its directory service, an online resource for locating information about companies on the Web which can be found at: http://www.imagemarketing.info/ppl/ To remove information about you from this directory, just click on the "remove my listing" link at the bottom of the relevant listing(s) for instructions.
Finally, we use the information we collect to direct important notices and
information affecting your account or services, as well as to provide general information that may be of interest to you, including newsletters, surveys, contest and sweepstakes announcement(s), and information about our service or product offerings or the offerings of our business affiliates. You may opt-out of receiving information from us simply by notifying us of your desire in accordance with the opt-out instructions contained in any information message you receive from us. Note, however, that in order to fulfill our service obligations to you, we must continue sending you notices and other important information affecting your account or services.
With Whom We May Share Information
We may share certain information about you with those of our vendors who
are responsible for handling your account or performing other services that you require. For example, when you choose our lead generation services for your account, we provide our e-mail services contractor with your e-mail address and password so that it may deliver your services properly. Although we may share sensitive financial information (i.e., credit card numbers, banking information), security information (e.g., account passwords) and personal communications (e.g., personal e-mail messages or message board
postings) with such vendors where necessary and appropriate, we will not share such information with other third parties, except in response to formal requests (e.g., subpoena or court order) made in connection with litigation or arbitration proceedings directly relating to a online sales lead service
or other services we provide.
How Do I Get My Name Removed from NewsLetters & Notices
As noted above, our lead generation services currently makes certain information
about you available to the general public via our b2b registration database look-up and directory services. These services give users access to such data on a query-by- query basis. Qualified persons may also access
such data on a bulk basis provided they agree, among other things, not to use the data to enable or otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited commercial advertising or solicitations via e-mail; or (ii) sell or redistribute the data to third parties. If you do not want your personal information
disclosed on a bulk basis, you may send us an e-mail at privacy@imagemarketing.info. Include the words 'remove bulk access' in the subject line of the e-mail
and all the names for which you are the registrant in the body of the e-mail.
Additionally, we may share the information stored on that database, as well
as other information that is not of a sensitive nature, with carefully selected business partners, including those who offer services that complement those provided by us or which may otherwise be of interest to you. If you do not want us to share information about you with our business partners, you may
send us an e-mail at privacy@imagemarketing.info.
Include the words "Remove" in the subject line of the e-mail and all the names for which you are the registrant in the body of the e-mail. Please note, however, that, consistent with the current rules and
policies for the Lead Generation System, information about you must remain available in the publicly accessible registration database.
About Message Boards
Please be aware that disclosing personally identifiable information online
through Message Boards makes the information that is submitted public information. Such disclosure may increase your chance of receiving 'spam' or unsolicited e-mail. Image Marketing Group strongly cautions you to be extra careful and use your discretion when disclosing information online. Image Marketing Group
is not responsible for personally identifiable information posted in the Message Boards.
Our Accountability to You
By purchasing our services, you obtain the protections of, and consent to
the data processing practices described in, this Privacy Policy. When you purchase our services, you also represent to us that you have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third party individuals whose personal data you supply to us with regard to: (i) the purposes for which such third party's personal data have been collected, (ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the third party's personal data, (iii) which of the third party's data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary,
and (iv) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data held about them.
In addition to the privacy protections that we provide, our employees, agents
and business partners are independently responsible for ensuring compliance with this Privacy Policy, as described below.
Employee Accountability
Only those Image Marketing Group Ltd employees that have a legitimate business purpose
for accessing and handling personal information obtained by us are given authorization to do so. The unauthorized access or use of such information by a Image Marketing Group employee is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.
Additionally, our information management systems are configured in such a way as to block or inhibit employees from accessing information that they have no authority to access.
The Accountability of Image Marketing Group's Agents
and Business Partners
Our trusted vendors and business partners are responsible for processing
or handling some of the information that we receive. These vendors and business partners are not authorized to use such information for purposes beyond those specified by us and are required to preserve the confidentiality with which we treat such information.

or employees, is violating this Privacy Policy, please contact us via e-mail at privacy@imagemarketing.info, by telephone at (027) 320 6091, or by postal mail at:
