By accessing the Service (as defined below), you accept this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the Terms of Use.
Tom Hartman and Peter Hartman ("we", "us"), who own and operate the ptahatom.com web site (our "Site"), has created this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") as part of our commitment to helping our visitors and users better understand what information we collect about them. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our Site.
We understand the concerns that you may have about your privacy and respect your right to protect your personal information while online. Our Site offer blog posts, articles and videos and also provide access to various projects which encourage interactivity for visitors, users and members who participate on our Site using our third party social interfaces and other services (our Site and such services, collectively, our "Service"). As part of the normal operation of our Service we, therefore, collect and, in some cases, may disclose information about you. Accordingly, by submitting your photograph, media files and/or any personal information, you thereby waive any privacy expectations you have with respect to our use of your likeness or personal information provided to us in connection with the Service and the Site. If you do not wish to have your picture or information about yourself that you provided viewed by or disclosed to other users, do not use our Service.
We collect information for a variety of reasons specified during the collection process. We do not collect any personal information from you unless you intentionally submit it through our forms or via email. This may include personal information and non-personal information for use on our website, for promotional material, and/or for any other reasonable purpose (excluding sale of your information to any third party).
We provide areas on our Site where you can post information about yourself and others and communicate with others or upload content such as photographs. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use. In addition, such postings may appear on other websites or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information.
Except as otherwise expressly described in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are on our Site or on other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. To the extent that we use third party advertisers or have third party e-commerce partners, they adhere to their own privacy policies. Since we do not control the privacy policies of any third parties, you should investigate their policies before you disclose your personal information to them.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on changes in the law, your comments, or our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending you a notice via email or by placing a prominent notice on our Site. All changes will be posted on this page and we recommend that you check it regularly.
