We share your information as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable law. This includes sharing with service providers to help perform business functions at our direction, sharing with your consent, sharing for marketing purposes, sharing as part of corporate transactions, and sharing to protect lawful interests.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

(a) When We Work with Service Providers. We may share your information with service providers that provide us with support services, website hosting, email delivery, or analytics services. We strive to contractually prohibit these service providers from retaining, using, or disclosing your confidential personal information for any purpose other than performing agreed upon services for us.

We may be under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements, to protect our rights, property, or safety, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of others.

5. Cookies, Web Beacons and Similar Technologies

To make our Sites and services work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies, or similar technology, on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. Technologies such as local storage allows us to store data locally within the user's browser. This enables the website or browser to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, search history, or other preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

If you wish to delete the search history data contained in local storage of your browser, simply click on the “X” next to your “Recent Searches” tab and the local storage data will be deleted.

To learn more, please see our Cookie Policy.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Sites. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for more information. You may also choose to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

You may wish to restrict the use of cookies. Please be aware that some of the features of our website may not function correctly if you disable cookies.

Most modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the options or preferences menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links for commonly used browsers may be helpful:



6. Your Choices

You have control over your personal information, cookie settings, and more.

Privacy Rights
PicClick believes in putting you in control of your personal information. Upon request we will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information and how it is used. You may access, correct, or remove your personal information by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. As required by law for taxes and other record keeping purposes, we may be unable to completely delete an account from our internal records.

"Do Not Track" Technology
Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.



7. How We Protect Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. For example, when possible, we use encryption to transfer and store data. We further limit access to this data using access controls and confidentiality commitments.

However, no website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintain what we believe to be reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information obtained through the websites, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You are responsible for protecting your password(s) and maintaining the security of your devices.



8. Retention and Disposal of Your Information

PicClick stores personal information as needed to accomplish the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy and to meet legal requirements, including record retention, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Our retention of your personal information is governed by applicable law. When the information is no longer necessary for any of these purposes, we delete it or keep it in a form that does not identify you, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. This storage period may extend beyond the term of your relationship with PicClick.



9. Children’s Privacy

Our websites are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “Contact Us” section below. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.



10. Additional Disclosures for California, Colorado or Virginia Residents

We have listed the privacy rights for several U.S. state jurisdictions below, but we understand you may have additional rights in your jurisdiction. You may contact us directly at any time about exercising your data protection rights. We will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws.

Categories of Personal Information
In the preceding twelve months we may have disclosed these categories of personal information for a business purpose:

We Do Not Sell Your Information – In the preceding twelve months we have not sold personal information.

Your Rights

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights – Subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we collected about you during the 12 months before your request. Once we receive your request and verify your identity, we will disclose to you:

Deletion Request Rights – You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.

Opting Out – Residents of certain states have the right to opt-out of having their personal information sold. We do not sell your personal information.

Non-Discrimination – Residents of certain states may not receive discriminatory treatment by the business for exercising your privacy rights.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights – To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above as a California resident, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us using the contact details below. Please note that to verify your request, we may require you to verify personal information that we already have on file for you or to provide additional information.

Use of an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request – Only you or a person you formally authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. If you use an authorized agent to submit such a request, we will require written proof that the authorized agent has been authorized to act on your behalf or a copy of the power-of-attorney document granting that right.

Direct Marketing – If you are a California resident, you can request a notice disclosing the categories of personal information businesses have shared with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.



11. Additional Disclosures for Data Subjects in the EEA, the U.K., and Switzerland

Residents in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland (together, for purposes of this section of the Privacy Policy, “EEA”), as well as certain other jurisdictions, are entitled to certain rights and disclosures with respect to their personal information.

This section provides general information about how PicClick collects, stores, uses, transfers, and otherwise processes personal data in or from certain countries in the EEA, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its local implementations. This section does not supersede the applicability of any privacy policy found on the website of an EEA-based PicClick affiliate with whom you have engaged, as that entity would be the data controller with respect to your personal data and the entity to which your data subject rights requests should be directed.

Lawful Bases of Processing – Where a PicClick entity is acting as a data controller that determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data, such as when we collect, use, and share personal data as described in the “Information We Collect,” “How We Use Your Information,” and “How We Share Your Information” sections above, we must have a lawful basis for processing or doing so. Our lawful bases for processing personal data include:

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below.

Your Data Subject Rights – In some countries, and in particular if you are located in the EEA, you may have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below and specify which privacy right(s) you wish to exercise. We must verify your identity in order to honor your request, which we will respond to within 30 days of receipt.

Retention – As described in the “Retention and Disposal of Your Information” section above, as a general rule, we retain information from or about you for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. When the information is no longer necessary for these purposes, we delete it or keep it in a form that does not identify you, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period.

Transfers Outside the EEA – Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for PicClick or for our third-party service providers. This may entail a transfer of your personal information across international borders. The data protections standards may differ and be lower than the standards enforced in your jurisdiction.

Complaints – If you have any issues with our compliance, you have the right to lodge a complaint with an EEA supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to first address your concerns and would welcome you directing an inquiry first to us per the “Contact Us” section below.
