PRIVACY POLICY

Effective on: June 7, 2006

Getty Images respects your ability to make informed choices about the collection and uses of
your personal information. This privacy policy tells you about our online collection and use of
information that identifies you personally so that you can make an informed choice about using
this website ("Site"). The terms of this policy apply to www.gettyimages.com domain and sub-
domains, unless different terms are specified in a form or contract provided to you online or
offline. Business users should refer to the terms and conditions of service or license agreements
for additional information governing Getty Images use of business information. Those terms and
conditions take precedence over this policy, and apply to all businesses, including sole
proprietorships and other small-business enterprises. Websites we link to, including but not
limited to the sites of subsidiaries and third-party content partners, may have different privacy
policies and practices from those disclosed here. We assume no responsibility for the policies or
practices of such linked sites and encourage you to become acquainted with them.

This Site is owned by Getty Images and may be accessed in the United States and abroad. By
using this Site, you understand and agree that (1) that the information collected from this Site
may be retained indefinitely, and may be stored, accessed and used in jurisdictions whose
privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home jurisdiction; (2) Getty
Images may use this information for a variety of purposes, including direct marketing (unless
you opt out of receiving direct marketing from Getty Images); (3) Getty Images may disclose
this information to necessary service providers, such as payment processors, data storage
providers and similar entities to provide the services they contract for. These third parties have
no right to use your information for secondary purposes. We use an outside shipping company to
fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. We use a
data storage facility to securely house back-end data that may include your personally
identifiable information. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any other purposes; they are prohibited from using your personally
identifiable information for any other purpose; (4) information about our customers, including
personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, sale of the company assets or
acquisition, as well as in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in
which personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company,
with notification of such transfer provided directly to account holders through email or post; and
(5) we reserve the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in
the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process,
respond to claims or protect the rights, property or safety of our company, employees, customers
or the public.

Information Collected from This Site
When you visit this Site, some information, such as the website that referred you to us, your IP
and email address and navigational and purchase information, may be collected automatically as
part of the Site's operation. We may combine this information with personally identifiable
information. Our Web sites also use cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site
sends to your computer while you are viewing the Web site. Please see "Cookies", below. This
information is used to generate user profiles and to personalize the Site to your particular
interests. On some occasions we may ask you to provide information on online forms. For
example, we may ask for your username, password, place of birth, full name, telephone number,
email address and postal address, or other information to register online, or for your credit card
number or other personally identifying information to fulfill licensing transactions or to receive
products or services. We may also ask you about your age, hobbies, income, gender or other
information to participate in surveys or other online activities. Providing information on online
forms is always voluntary, and you are free not to complete any online forms. If you choose not
to, however, some products and services may not be available to you.

How We Use Your Information
Information collected online is stored indefinitely and is used for various purposes, including
processing your transactions, customer service, product and service development, direct
marketing and marketing analysis, facilitating your use of this Site and customizing your image
selection to your particular interests. The information we collect may be used by Getty Images
and may be shared with our agents, service providers and selected other entities for fulfilling
their service obligations to Getty Images, such as credit card processors, data base service
providers, and similar entities to provide the services they contracted for. In addition, unless you
opt out of receiving promotional materials from Getty Images, we may notify you of special
promotions, new products or services or other information that may be of interest. (See Opting-
Out section, below.)

Forums & Other Interactive Services or Areas

The Site may include discussion forums or other interactive areas or services, including blogs,
chat rooms, bulletin boards, message boards, online hosting or storage services, or other areas or
services in which you or third parties create, post or store any content, messages, comments,
materials or other items on the Site ("Interactive Areas"). If you use an Interactive Area on this
Site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be
read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited
messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to
submit, nor do we represent or warrant that any information submitted by others is accurate or
without error. When registering for these Interactive Areas, we may collect your name, email
address, city and state or other personal information. All or part of the required information you
provide at registration may be viewable by other users. These postings are kept indefinitely. If at
any time you would like to remove your posting from the website, please contact us by emailing
sales@gettyimages.com. Removal of the posting from an Interactive Area does not mean that
the posting will be deleted from Getty Images systems. Such information may be retained
indefinitely.

About Cookies
When you visit the Site, we place a text file called a cookie in the browser directory of your
computer's hard drive. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on your
web browser and later retrieve. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of
your visit, your registration information, which may be personally identifiable, and your
navigational and purchase activity. Cookies offer you many conveniences. They allow Getty
Images, and certain of its subsidiaries and third-party content partners, to recognize information,
such as the Lightboxes you have created, and assist in determining what content is best suited to
your needs. Cookies also allow you to retrieve previous image search results, access Lightboxes
with ease and view your previous invoices.
Most browsers allow you to decline cookies, but if you elect to do so, these pages may not
display properly. You are free to delete cookies after your session, and your browser should
contain instructions on how to do this.

Opting-Out
If you do not want to receive promotional information from Getty Images, you can opt out by
unchecking the appropriate box on your online registration form or, in the event an online
registration form is not available, by notifying your account executive. If you did not opt out
when you registered and later decide that you are not interested in receiving this information, you
can opt out at any time by sending an email to sales@gettyimages.com or speaking with your
account executive.

Reviewing, Updating or Correcting Your Information
If you would like to review or revise information you previously provided on an online form, or
believe that the information we currently have on record is incorrect, you may update your
information in the Account section of this website or contact us at sales@gettyimages.com so
that you can communicate with your Account Executive who can assist you with making any
changes you require. You may expect a responsive action to your request within 30 business
days.

We do not intend to solicit or collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If
you are under 13 you should not use or enter information on this Site, including without
limitation any Interactive Areas.

If at any time you have questions or concerns about this policy, or Getty Images compliance with
the policy, please let us know by sending an email to sales@gettyimages.com. We will make
reasonable efforts to identify and correct any problem.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change the terms of this privacy policy at any time. We encourage you to
review this privacy policy whenever you visit our website to make sure you understand how we
use the information we collect. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you
here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

NBA Photograph Licensees or Consumers
Data from consumers or licensees of copyrighted photographs of the National Basketball
Association, Women's National Basketball Association, National Basketball Development
League or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, the "NBA Parties") from the NBAE
Photos Forum, the NBAE Photo Store or a website hosted by Getty Images is gathered as
"Database Information." Database Information may include information regarding name, account
number, contact person (for the business user), complete mailing address, email address, and
date of birth (for the individual consumer). Database Information is being provided to the NBA

licensees of NBA photographs electing not to have all or part of their Database Information used
by the NBA Parties and/or their affiliated entities and/or business partners for commercial
activities may opt out by unchecking the appropriate box on the online registration form or, in
the event an online registration form is not available, by notifying an account executive. If you
did not opt out when you registered, and later decide that you would like to opt out, you can do
so by updating your Account page or, if an Editorial licensee, by speaking with an account
executive.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted
industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission
and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable
means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send email us at
sales@gettyimages.com.
