Your privacy and the security of your information are very important to us.  This Privacy Policy governs the Internet Web sites located at http://www.boxcarpress.com and http://www.letterpresscommons.com, as well as the associated Web pages, features and functions made available by Boxcar (individually and collectively, the “Boxcar Sites”).  It explains how we collect your information, and the choices you have concerning the use and disclosure of such information.  Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by the Boxcar Sites.  We are not responsible for the privacy of the information you reveal, allow access to or post in any public forum.

  1. WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit our Website or use any of the features on our Website, we capture your internet provider’s domain name, IP address and standard web log information, such as your browser type and the pages you accessed on the Boxcar Sites.  We may also collect information about your computer or other access device for fraud prevention purposes.

We also collect and store the information that you have chosen to provide in connection with registering a user account.  For example, if you establish a user account with the Boxcar Sites, we may collect and store the following personal information:

  • Contact information – your name, address, phone number, email address, and other similar information.
  • Other information from your interaction with our Website, services, content, and advertising.

We may also supplement the information we collect with information from other sources to assist us in providing and supporting the Boxcar Sites, such as for improving the Boxcar Sites and to determine your preferences so that we can tailor the Boxcar Sites to your needs.  Information obtained from other sources and compiled with your information by us is the sole property of Boxcar.

  1. THE WAY WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

You agree that we may use your personal information:

  • in a manner that you have expressly agreed to, such as in your user account profile or privacy settings;
  • to resolve disputes and troubleshooting;
  • to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities;
  • to enforce this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and/or our other policies;
  • to customize, measure, and improve the services and the content and layout of the Boxcar Sites and applications;
  • to compare to other information for accuracy and for verification; and
  • to aggregate user information for statistical and analytical purposes.

Except as set forth in this Privacy Statement, we DO NOT share personal information with third parties.  We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that any other content violates the rights of others, or protect anyone’s rights, property, or safety in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

  1. SELLING OR RENTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

  1. USE OF COOKIES

The Boxcar Sites use “cookie” technology to make your visits more convenient for you.  When you access our Website, we track how the Boxcar Sites are used, and may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer and to personalize your experience.  A cookie is a small text file that contains a unique identification number stored on your computer.  Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. This unique identification number automatically identifies your browser – but not you – to our computers whenever you interact with our Website.  Only when you agree to provide personally identifiable information directly to our Website through our registration form will we be able to know anything about you other than the random number that our server computers originally assign to your browser.  If you prefer, you can configure your web browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set.  However, rejecting all cookies may render you unable to use some features on our Website.

  1. DATA SECURITY

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions. Accordingly, while we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise and you should not expect your personal information will always remain private.  It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.  Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

  1. CONTENT YOU PROVIDE

The Boxcar Sites contain certain areas where you may upload or submit information, data, databases, music, audio, video or audio-visual files, photographs, images, documents, text, digital files or other material for posting on the Boxcar sites (“Material”).  You agree that your submission of any such Material is governed by the BY-NC-SA Creative Commons License (http://creativecommons.org). This section does not apply to content, such as press-ready design files, submitted to Boxcar via the Boxcar Sites strictly for use in connection with printing orders placed with Boxcar.

  1. PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

We reserve the right to change, modify, or amend this Privacy Policy at any time and will take reasonable steps to notify you of any material changes to the Privacy Policy when they occur.  If we decide to change this Privacy Statement, we may post those changes to this Privacy Statement, the Boxcar Sites, and/or other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.  All changes to the Privacy Statement will be effective immediately upon posting.  If we change this Privacy Policy in such a way that your personal information may be used in a manner not described in the Privacy Policy at the time you provided it, we will give you the opportunity to opt out of having your information used in that manner.  You are responsible for reviewing the Privacy Statement on a regular basis so as to stay informed of our practices, as they may change from time to time.
