Privacy PolicyTermsPrivacyPrivacy<p>500px is founded on the principle of helping people discover new photos and photographers. We know that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy very seriously. By visiting the 500px website, registering with 500px, or using any 500px services, you are accepting and agree to comply with this policy. The column on the right provides a short explanation of the privacy policy and is not legally binding.</p> <br> <p>This Privacy Policy covers 500px's treatment of personal information that 500px gathers when you are on the 500px website and when you use 500px services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that 500px does not own or control, or to individuals that 500px does not employ or manage.</p> <p>Information Collected by 500px</p> <p>We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We collect the following types of information from our 500px users:</p> <br> <p>Basically,</p> <p>We collect information to make 500px useful for you and to provide a personalized experience.</p> <br> <br> <p>Information You Provide To Us</p> <p>1) We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features.</p> <br> <p>2) Registration: In order for you to use 500px services you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require certain personal information. Our lawful basis for collecting personal information from you is to provide our services and to communicate with you with your consent when you register with us. Our collection of personal information from you is limited to information that we require in order to provide our services to you.</p> <br> <p>3) User Profile: To allow you to express yourself beyond just the information collected during registration, we enable you to provide additional information, such as your first and last names, email address, social media account links, a bio, and website URL. In addition, you may choose to include photos of yourself in your profile. As indicated below, in the section titled "Sharing Your Information", you can control how your information is displayed and used.</p> <br> <p>4) You have the right to edit, update, access, or transfer your personal information, or to delete your personal information if you are terminating your registration with 500px.</p> <br> <p>Basically,</p> <p>We collect your registration and user profile data. Our servers also collect log information used to make the website faster and better. We also collect geographic location data. this allows us to present a more personalized experience.</p> <br> <br> <p>Automatic Information</p> <p>1) We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. 500px and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser and apps including your IP address, 500px cookie information, and the page you requested. 500px uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends, and administer the website. This does not involve collecting any of your personal information.</p> <br> <p>2) In addition to the "traffic data", 500px and its authorized agents may collect information about the device you're using to access 500px, its operating system, unique device identifier, device settings such as language, and crash data. Which data is specifically collected depends on the type of device and/or system running on that device. This data is again used to help us diagnose problems with the site and/or mobile apps and analyze trends. This does not involve collecting any of your personal information.</p> <br> <p>3) 500px may collect and use information regarding the geographic location of your devices. If the location data contains your personal information, then 500px will treat this location data in accordance with this Policy.</p> <br> <p>4) 500px may collect and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed. This includes User Profile pages.</p> <br> <p>5) Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While 500px will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.</p> <br> <p> </p> <p>Communications</p> <p>Email and push notifications: 500px is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your Information" section below. 500px may send out emails with 500px-related news, products, offers, surveys, or promotions. You may also receive emails and/or push notifications from 500px, which inform you of actions (e.g. “new follows”) that have been performed on the site. We send these notifications to you based on receiving your consent. If you do not want to receive email from us, please visit the “Email notifications” section of your User Profile and/or follow the “unsubscribe” instructions contained in each email message. To unsubscribe from push notifications, please visit the “Push notifications” section of your User Profile on the app. However, please note that in all cases you will continue to receive all system emails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us unless you terminate your registration.</p> <br> <p>500px’s messenger service: The 500px messenger service allows you to communicate with other 500px users. 500px may monitor the messenger service as set forth in this Policy, but 500px does not collect any personal information through the messenger service (except as set forth in this Privacy Policy). You can stop using 500px’s messenger service at any time and/or block or report other users attempting to communicate with you through 500px’s messenger service.

We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution in sharing any personal information with other users through 500px’s messenger service (or otherwise) and 500px is not responsible for any information that you disclose to other users through 500px’s messenger service.</p> <br> <p>500px monitors the usage of its messenger service to improve its service, but does not read private messages exchanged between users through the 500px’s messenger service unless a user has been reported for inappropriate behavior as outlined in our Terms of Use. If we receive such a report, we will only review the allegedly inappropriate communications that have been reported in order to determine whether they violate our Terms of Use and what actions we will take in response to the conduct (if any), including possibly terminating users. All users have the ability to block parties they do not wish to communicate with via 500px’s messenger service and to stop using 500px’s messenger service at any time.</p> <br> <p>Basically,</p> <p>We will send you emails and push notifications based on your User Profile settings. From time to time, we may send emails to all our users. We also won’t read your 500px messages unless you have been reported for behaving inappropriately.</p> <br> <p>Cookies</p> <p>Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. 500px cookies do not collect personal information.</p> <br> <p>500px utilizes third-party services like Google Analytics to help analyze how our site is used. These services, including Google Analytics, also use cookies to collect information about visitors to our site (including IP addresses) in an anonymous form that does not include personal information.</p> <br> <p>The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We recommend that you leave the cookies activated because cookies allow you to use some of 500px's coolest features. Some of our business partners, like our advertisers, may use cookies on our website. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies.</p> <br> <p>Basically,</p> <p>To remember you, our system will give you a cookie. It's safe. Third-party services that help us analyze how our site is used also use cookies to collect information about visitors to our site.</p> <br> <p>Analytics</p> <p>500px uses services like Google Analytics and/or Amplitude to help analyze and understand how our site and mobile applications are used, so that we can make 500px products more interesting to you. These tools capture data about how individual users are using our site and mobile applications. This includes event logs, device type, and device configuration settings such as language, crash data, and other data but never personal information. These third-party services treat the analytics data in accordance with this privacy policy and 500px does not disclose your personal information to any third parties through our use of these services.</p> <br> <p>Basically,</p> <p>We use third-party analytics services that help us better understand usage trends and make decisions based on those trends. These tools don't collect personal information, and all information collected is used in accordance with this policy.</p> <br> <p>Sharing Your Information</p> <p>Because 500px enables people to discover and share information with one another, information about the people who use 500px is an integral part of the 500px experience. Rest assured that we will not rent or sell your personal information to anyone and that we will share your personal information only as described below:</p> <br> <p>500px Personnel: 500px personnel and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of 500px business.</p> <br> <p>Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred.
