The Privacy Policy is part of and incorporated into the Level Frames Terms & Conditions of Service (the “Terms”).

I. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. You may wish to review the Privacy Policy regularly to see whether it has changed, as your continued use of the Site following a posted update will signify your acceptance of the Privacy Policy, as posted.

II. Purpose of Our Privacy Policy

We take very seriously the safeguard of any information you provide to us. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you about how Level may collect, use, and disclose personal information from you and other users of the Site.

III. Definitions

The following definitions apply when these terms are used in the Privacy Policy. If a term is not defined in Privacy Policy, it may be defined in the Terms.

“IP Address” refers to “Internet Protocol Address” and means the unique number that allows computers attached to the Internet to know where to send you data (such as the webpages you view) and where the data that you are sending is coming from.

“Personal Information” means information that, alone or when in combination with other information, may be used to identify, contact, or locate you personally. Your Personal Information includes your name, address, email address, and phone number. Your Personal Information does not include information that we obtain in or transform into an anonymous format from which a third party cannot easily identify you. 

“Non-Personal Information” means information that does not identify you as a specific individual, including without limitation IP type, ISP address, pages viewed, cookie IDs (and segment IDs associated with cookie IDs), search terms entered, operating system, browser type, duration and frequency of visits and other anonymous usage statistics, log file data and tracking measurements. With respect to mobile devices, “Non-Personal Information” also may include device type, make and model, operating system, carrier, user ID, similar device IDs, and information about various apps that you use. We may link your Non-Personal Information link to your Personal Information which, in combination, may become Personal Information.

“Aggregate Data” means Non-Personal Information that we collect about a group or category of customers or Products. Aggregate Data helps us to understand trends so that we can better consider new Products and services, analyze usage, facilitate payments, or otherwise improve or tailor our offerings. For example, we may collect data about the custom framing preferences of residents of a particular state (without linking this data to any specific personal information about those residents).

To "use" or to "process" information means to handle or utilize the information in any way, including without limitation by subjecting the information to statistical or other evaluation or analysis, or by collecting, storing, modifying, deleting, combining the information (including by using cookies on a computer), or by disclosing and/or transferring the information within our company or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally.

"Level Account" means the record of your purchase history with us, your email subscription preferences, and your account balance which may contain credits usable towards making a purchase on the Site.

2. Non-Personal Information

Like many other organizations, we also collect Non-Personal Information via our Site through the use of cookies, web beacons, pixels or pixel tags, server logs, and other similar technology as you use the Site. The use of these technologies enables us to improve our Site and the services that we offer by providing insight into, among other things, which Products and features are most popular, the number of computers accessing our Site at particular times, ways in which we might personalize and improve your experience with our Site, and the preferences of you and other visitors to our Site. 

Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting but allow you to block, delete, or pre-approve cookies. However, if you do that, certain websites, including our Site may not work fully or properly (e.g., you may not be able to access or use certain pages, features, or functionality). If you are interested in learning more about this, you should check your browser to determine where these types of cookies are stored and how they may be deleted. If you wish to block, delete, or pre-approve the use of cookies, you generally must do so on each computer and browser on which you wish to block, prevent, or pre-approve such cookies.

We use pixels from Meta, Google and other advertising partners on our website. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, however, this data is stored and processed by Meta and Google, who may link this information to your account and also use it for their own promotional purposes and in accordance with their own privacy policies.

3. Third Parties

Please note that we may use third party service providers or vendors to help us operate and improve the Site and/or transact business (including, without limitation, maintenance services, database management providers, advertising, payment processors, content providers, or web analytics consultants, etc.). These third party service providers may also collect or have access to Non-Personal Information from our Site. Such third party service providers and vendors are not authorized to use the Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide the administrative services for which they are responsible.

4. Opting Out

As noted above, you may block, delete, or pre-approve use of cookies on your computer by adjusting your web browser settings. Such limitations are not effective on mobile applications, but many applications allow users to “opt out” of certain advertisements and other features by adjusting their mobile device settings. There also exist websites on which you may “opt out” of receiving targeted advertisements from third parties who may obtain your Non-Personal Information but who also participate and comply with advertising industry self-regulatory programs. Here are examples:

To facilitate the delivery of relevant content, some cookies we use are for ‘Google Analytics’. Those are used to identify how users engage with our Site and to provide us with interest and demographic information regarding Site visitors. We may also use this information to optimize marketing and refine advertising and/or programming strategies. 

We may contact you via email to confirm certain transactions or to provide information about the status of your Level Account. Other marketing emails you may receive from us will contain an “unsubscribe” link found at the bottom of the email. If you receive such emails from us that you would prefer not to receive, you can use the “unsubscribe” link to “opt out” of receiving future emails, or you can contact us at support@levelframes.com to request the same. We will comply with your request, but we are not responsible for removing your Personal Information from the possession of any third party who previously obtained the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, if you consent to our providing your e-mail address to a third party to receive their separate marketing communications, you will be responsible for opting out of such communications as well.
