more relevant to you we may also direct advertising from our sponsors
according to the interests of our users. For instance, if we know you
are a new mom or dad, we may show you an ad for diapers, while your brother,
who likes sports, might see an ad for running shoes. Ultimately, this
makes the service far more valuable to each individual. When you choose to share your online images
with friends and family, those individuals will be able to view your name.

inform you of site improvements, feature announcements, newsletters, ShutterPort,
Inc. promotional offers, and third-party promotional offers. We also use
your mailing address to send you your welcome kit, and additional ShutterPort,
Inc. mailers. We reserve the right to
use aggregated, anonymous data about our users as a group. For example,
we might tell a prospective advertiser that 10,000 of our members have
indicated an interest in golf, and then distribute an attractive offer
exclusively to those users. With whom does ShutterPort,
