At Initial Point, we place the highest importance on respecting
and protecting the privacy of your photographs. We want you to
feel comfortable and confident when using PicsMatch. Therefore,
we would like to share with you the following principles that
govern our information practices and other privacy aspects of
our PicsMatch software products.
Our Philosophy and Practices
We tell you how we use your information
You control access to the information you enter into the PicsMatch
software product. PicsMatch allows you to search for photographs
on your personal computer. You do not send any photographs to the
Internet to perform the searches.
We request information during registration. We will tell you, or it
will be clear, what information is required. We store your entered
email address and password along with computer hardware key for
license and support purposes. We may request or obtain other
operating system environment information to better serve you if and
when you contact support.
- We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
- We do not share your personal information with anyone outside
of Initial Point for promotional and/or marketing use.
We tell you how our software interfaces with the Internet
During registration, PicsMatch will transmit your hardware key to our
web site for licensing. We will transmit to you the PicsMatch license
which enables you to operate the program.
During the use of the program, you may select to Email a photograph.
PicsMatch will send selected photographs to your email system for
transmission.
If you request support, (such as an inquiry about the use of facial
recognition with a particular photograph) PicsMatch will gather
information from the program necessary to support the request and
transmit that information to our support web site at picsmatch.com.
Product Updates PicsMatch provides software product
updates and help content in Internet transmissions.
Product Suggestions and Feedback We invite you to
share your thoughts about your PicsMatch software product. To better
understand your issue or suggestion, we may collect information about
your PicsMatch product (e.g. the version of the product you are using
and operating system).
PicsMatch Photo Analysis You may request Initial Point
to analyze to determine why PicsMatch matched or failed to match a
photograph. When you make this request, PicsMatch will transmit for
analysis the requested digital image, the matching ID and search engine
processing parameters set up by yourself or by the program.
This information will be used for support purposes only and will be shared
only by Initial Point and Cognitec analysts. These analysts will use
the data only to analyze and improve the search results.
Discussion Forums On-line discussion forums enable
forum members to communicate with other members. To participate in the
forum, we require that you register with a valid e-mail address. We may
use your e-mail address in the event we need to contact you regarding
your postings or to inquire about your forum experience. We recommend
that care be taken in posting personal information on this message board,
as any information you provide is accessible by other users.
E-mail Messaging When sending you e-mail, we may use
an image called a single-pixel GIF, that allows us to format messages
tailored to your computer’s capabilities. We also use this technology
to determine, in the aggregate, the number of people who open our e-mails.
When you initiate a response by clicking on a link within an e-mail
message, you are redirected onto the Internet. We then record your
individual response to help us deliver information that is more relevant
to your interests.
We give you choice and control
When using PicsMatch, you are not required to email or share any
photographs on the Internet. You may desire support from Initial Point
to improve the facial recognition performance for specific photographs.
If you desire this support, PicsMatch will prompt you before sending any
information to our support web site.
We tell you about our relationships with Third Parties
Initial Point has an agreement with Cognitec to provide facial searching in
digital images. Our contract outlines the appropriate use and handling of
your information and prohibits Cognitec from using any of your personal
information for purposes unrelated to the analyzing the facial recognition
algorithms.
Should we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business, part of the
sale may include your personal information. If so, you will have the
opportunity to ask not to receive promotional information following any
change of control.
We may use sources outside of Initial Point to supplement the information
you give us. For example, we may validate your address using other sources.
We use this data to help us maintain accuracy and provide you with better service.
We keep our Privacy Policy current
We regularly update the features of our software and our customer services to
better serve our customer and this policy may also be revised from time to
time. We may modify this policy without advance notice and any modifications are
effective when they are posted here. By purchasing our software and/or utilizing
our customer services you indicate your understanding and acceptance of the terms
of the policy posted at the time of your use.
