The following policy and services have been updated as of today, September 1, 2009:

• US Privacy Policy
• Seller Services

Changes to US Privacy Policy
The US Privacy Policy describes the information we collect from our customers, how we collect this information, and what we do with it after it’s we collected. The change to the US Privacy Policy is a new section on Internet Advertising and the ability to opt out of certain types of internet marketing.

Please review the updated US Privacy Policy.

Changes to Seller Services
The Seller Services page contains the terms and conditions for the various Seller Services that are available through the CafePress Service. The changes to the Seller Services are minor and will allow us to help you keep designs in the CafePress Marketplace fresh and of the highest quality as we launch new products, styles, and/or upgrade printing technology:

• CafePress may help determine what products your designs will be available on in the CafePress Marketplace and may automatically add your designs to additional products for you. For example, if a customer wants your design on a sweatshirt, and you don’t offer a sweatshirt we can add your design to a sweatshirt.
• To improve the printing quality, CafePress may automatically modify your designs. For instance we may clean up JPG artifacting, adjust colors for optimal printing on different printers and products, and adjust placement on different products.

Please review the updated Seller Services.
For more details, please read the FAQs.

We’re pleased to share that our partner Sellit has a simple way to increase the online marketing and visibility of your shop with the Sellit widget – ShopBOT!

ShopBOT takes your CafePress shop or shop sections and with one click, transfers your products into a portable shop ready for Facebook, MySpace, a blog or website. Potential customers can see your products and purchase them the minute they come across them anywhere on the web. Upon purchase, customers are seamlessly brought back to your CafePress shop for a safe and secure checkout.

What is a Sellit ShopBOT?

• It’s a sharable version of your existing CafePress shop
• With your shop (section) URL and one click, your ShopBOT is created
• You can place your ShopBOT to an unlimited amount of places

ShopBOT is free to use. Get a ShopBOT for your shop – visit Sellit to get started! For more information, please visit the ShopBOT partner page.

We’ve made a few changes to help elevate shop branding for Premium Shops, such as moving the CafePress logo to the footer and offering a customized header. Shopkeepers are happy with these changes and would like to see more branding for their shops, and we’re pleased to share two new changes. Customers will receive the following when they place an order from a Premium Shop:

• Order Confirmation emails will include the Shop Name, indicating where those purchases were made.
• Receipt will show the Shop Name and shop URL where purchases were made, at the top of the receipt.
