For example, statistics are compiled that show the daily number of visitors to the Site, the daily requests received for particular pages or other items on the Site, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used to customize our Site to better meet your needs and may also be provided to others, but the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION
General
We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
Corporate Affiliates
We may share your personal information among our member, representative, subsidiary, parent, and affiliated organizations, but the information will be used by them for internal purposes only. It is possible that we, our members, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, business assets, or any combination of these, could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination or result occur, you should expect that all of your personal information will be transferred to the merging or acquiring business entity. We cannot assure, however, that the new entity will follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
OUR PARTNERS
We may partner with reputable third parties to offer our Site visitors a variety of products and services. All services throughout our Site that are provided by a third-party partner are described as such in this Privacy Policy or elsewhere in the Site. For example, we use a third party to prepare and ship photographic prints to Site visitors that choose to purchase them. Although we only work with reputable third parties, our business partners may have different privacy policies and practices than we do. We encourage you to review our business partners’ privacy policies to further understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing your personal information.
OUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
We may be required by law or legal process to disclose personal information and other information you have provided us in your use of our Site.

OTHER DISCLOSURES
We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Upon your request, we will deactivate your personal information from our active databases. To make this request, you may send an e-mail to info@kenkrohnphotography.com.

Further, such prior information may never be completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored “back up” systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your request, except as may be required otherwise by applicable law.
