This document explains the policies for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information of Petite Images.

This policy forms part of, and should be read in conjunction with, our Terms of Use.

Petite Images believes that privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of Internet commerce. Our status as an Internet merchant requires us to have a stringent policy regarding all of the information that we collect.

Your use of this site or Petite Images' services constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these policies, please cease using this site immediately.

These terms were last revised on March 23, 2005. Petite Images reserves the right to amend these policies from time to time. If such amendments affect how Petite Images uses or discloses personal information already held by Petite Images in a material and adverse way over and above previous express or implied consent, Petite Images will contact you to obtain consent. Notwithstanding the terms of this policy, the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information may be made outside of the terms herein to the extent provided for in the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and other relevant Canadian and Ontario legislation in effect from time to time. These exemptions include, without limitation, publicly available information, or information disclosed for criminal or civil investigations or compliance with law or court orders.

Petite Images takes reasonable precautions to ensure your privacy on the terms contained in this policy. Petite Images uses reasonable efforts to, but cannot totally prevent, unintended disclosures by such means as hackers and other unauthorized individuals, and inadvertent or illicit employee actions.
