Storage of Collected Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. Stockphoto.com uses a variety of commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to seek to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information.

Once we receive your transmission of information, Stockphoto.com will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of the Stockphoto.com Website and our systems. However, please note that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and this is not a guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a subversion of our safeguards.
