promptly after it changes. You may review this information by sending us an email at
support@tribute.co. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed at any
time. We will respond to your request to access within 30 days. We will use reasonable efforts to
delete your information; however, because we and our web hosting company have backup systems and

provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal
obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
User Communication
We may, from time to time, send you email regarding our services. In addition, if you indicate upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that may be of interest to you. Only Tribute will send you these direct mailings, and only if you indicated that you are interested in receiving these offers. If you do not want these mailings, you can tell us when you submit or edit your Personally Identifiable Information by sending us an email at support@tribute.co.
Security of Information
We will keep your Personally Identifiable Information secure consistent with current industry
standards. Security of your Personally Identifiable Information is of utmost concern to us.
Personally Identifiable Information, once transmitted to us, will be stored on computers that only
selected personnel and contractors have access to via password, and/or on web hosting servers
maintained by Amazon Web Services, which employs its own physical and network security measures. In
addition, your Tribute videos and/or content may be stored on Amazon Web Services servers. A copy of
Amazon Web Services' Privacy Policy may be obtained at
http://www.amazon.com/AWS-License-home-page-Money/b?ie=UTF8&node=3440661#gen1.
Your Tribute videos and user content are limited-access, where access is gained through an
obscured URL system. This obscured URL makes it difficult if not impossible for a third party to
guess the URL address of your video or content without an invitation from you including the relevant
URL. However, because the videos and content are not password-protected, a possibility exists that
an unauthorized third party could discover your videos and/or content. No method of transmission
over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore we cannot
guarantee its absolute security.
Changes to this Statement
Tribute has the discretion to update this privacy policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on this Site prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

Tribute does not process or store any credit card information. When you checkout to purchase a Tribute, you will be redirected to Shopify and the connection between your browser and their servers will be encrypted. On our site and Shopify’s checkout pages, you can verify that your connection is encrypted by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
