Cookies and Invisible Pixels
A cookie is a very small text file that is sent to a user's browser from a web server and stored on the user's computer hard drive. It assigns the computer a unique identifier. It is essentially the user's identification card when he/she returns to the Acme Framing site. Cookies save you time because they help us to provide a customized experience without having to remind us of your preferences each time you return to our web pages. Acme Framing’s cookies cannot damage files, nor can they read information from the hard drive of a computer.
Cookies can help us provide our visitors with a personalised online experience in the following ways:
- They remember names and passwords for future visits so log-in is easier and faster
- They ensure visitors are provided with the appropriate frames and content
- They ensure visitors obtain the information requested
- They help us deliver communications that are relevant and targeted to our visitors' interests
Acme Framing cookies do not follow visitors when travelling on the Internet after leaving the Acme Framing site. We track the usage of our site in order to modify it according to our visitors' needs. We pay attention to what information is requested and attempt to make it easier to find such information in the future.
If visitors do not want the benefits of these cookies they can set their browser to reject the cookies. Visitors should consult the instructions for their particular browser on how to do this. However, visitors should understand that rejecting cookies might affect their ability to perform certain transactions on our site and our ability to recognise their browser from one visit to the next.

Access to Individual Profiles
Within the subscription process we provide a profile section. Filling in this information allows us to understand and provide services to visitors. We respect our visitors' privacy and maintain their profile information on secure servers. Personally identifiable information can be accessed and updated by the visitor with the assistance of an Acme Framing representative. Acme Framing will not use our visitor's confidential information for purposes which are not disclosed to or authorised by the visitor. Visitors have the opportunity to review the information they provide and update it at any time.
Occasionally, information that a visitor requests to be removed will be retained in certain files in order to properly resolve disputes or to troubleshoot problems. In addition, information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored "back up" systems. Therefore, visitors should not expect that all of their personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to their requests.
Data collected by Acme Framing is an asset. It is possible that Acme Framing, its subsidiaries, affiliates, joint venture companies, or any combination of the foregoing, could merge with or be acquired by another legal entity. In such event, visitors should expect that Acme Framing may share some or all of the data collected from its visitors with such other entity; provided, that such other entity will be notified of the practices which apply to personally identifiable information under Acme Framing applicable privacy policy.

Email
From time to time, and including during the subscription process Acme Framing asks visitors for their email address in order to provide relevant information such as newsletters, replies to requests and other special offers. Email addresses may be joined with other information provided at our website and may also be augmented with other data sources. By providing their email address to us, visitors may receive email. Visitors will always have the ability to accept or decline email communications from Acme Framing.
Email communication is sent only to people who have consented to receive email from Acme Framing or by our carefully selected third parties. At the time of email capture, Acme Framing will advise the visitor that we will use the email address for service and product information, as well as marketing and promotional communications. At any time a visitor may opt-out of receiving email communication by following the directions posted in every email, or by following the directions at Acme Framing website or by contacting Acme Framing to opt-out of email communication.
Visitors may receive periodic offers and information from Acme Framing about our products and services, as well as offers and information from Acme Framing carefully selected marketing partners. Visitors may also receive offers and information directly from these selected third parties. Visitors who do not want to receive marketing information from Acme Framing and/or these third parties in the future, have the option to contact us in order to decline such communication.
Once a visitor has opted-out, they can choose to opt-in again by changing their profile online or by contacting us.
In cases when a visitor voluntarily provides personal information in response to an email (a survey or purchase form, for example, Acme Framing or a third party engaged by Acme Framing) will inform the visitor how this information will be used. For example, information may be used so Visitors can receive the goods, services or information that was requested. Acme Framing may also use this information in aggregate form to get a better understanding of the type of individuals responding to specific offers.

Competitions
Sometimes Acme Framing runs competitions. We ask people who participate to give us their contact information (like their email address). If a visitor participates in a competition, his/her contact information may be used to reach him/her in connection with the competition, and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes.
All Acme Framing competition entry forms will provide a way for participants to opt-out of any communication from the competition’s manager that is not related to awarding prizes for the competition. Entry forms will further provide contestants with a choice whether to receive email marketing materials from our carefully selected third parties. When a visitor enters an Acme Framing competition, the information the visitor provides is not shared with any third party, unless the visitor agrees to such by checking the opt-in box on the competition entry form. By accepting the prize, the winner agrees that Acme Framing (and those acting under its authority) may use the winner's name, picture/portrait, likeness and/or voice for advertising and other promotional purposes without further consideration, unless prohibited by law.

Research
From time to time Acme Framing may perform research (online and offline) via surveys. All survey responses are voluntary, and the information collected will only be used for research and reporting purposes, to help Acme Framing to better serve its visitors by learning more about their needs. The survey responses may also be used to determine the effectiveness of our site, various types of communications, topical opinion, marketing research, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities.
If a visitor participates in a survey, the information given by the visitor will be used along with that of other study participants (for example, Acme Framing might report that 50% of a survey's respondents are women). Acme Framing may share anonymous individual and aggregate data for research and analysis purposes.
Acme Framing may also contact participants through email for other purposes if given permission to do so. When a participant submits a survey, the email address and the response to the "future contact" question described above, are automatically stored in a database that is intentionally separated from the participant's survey responses. Therefore, the participant's email address is not tied back to the survey responses. Acme Framing will not share with third parties the personally identifiable information provided by a survey participant in response to survey questions. For all other purposes, only aggregate data that is devoid of all personally identifiable information will be used.
In the course of providing surveys to visitors, a cookie may be placed on their browser in order to control the research process, primarily to stop people from being asked to take the same survey twice – or being allowed to take the same survey twice. In addition, the types of advertising visitors view in emails received or on site during the course of their web surfing, may be connected to the visitor's anonymous survey responses.
Participation in Acme Framing surveys is voluntary. Participants who do not wish to receive email communications from Acme Framing may opt-out of the receipt of such communication by notifying us in the contact us section provided below.
