1. Information Collection and Use

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register an account, purchase books, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us. This information may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and payment information.

2. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, track site usage, and tailor our services to your interests. According to EU regulations, you have the right to manage your cookie preferences. You can accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

3. Confidentiality of Customer Data

We value your trust and are committed to ensuring the confidentiality of your personal data. All customer data, including transaction information, is securely stored and only accessible to authorized personnel. We use this data solely for the purpose of processing orders, providing customer support, and improving our services. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except as required by law.

4. Transaction Data Security

Your transaction data is treated with the highest level of confidentiality. When you make a purchase on our website, your payment information is encrypted and transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This ensures that your sensitive data is protected from unauthorized access during transmission. We partner with reputable payment processors that comply with industry standards for data security.

5. Safety and Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our website is protected by SSL encryption, which ensures that any data transferred between your browser and our server remains private and secure. Additionally, we regularly update our security protocols to protect against potential vulnerabilities and unauthorized access.

6. Account Registration

When you register an account on our website, we collect your name, email address, and a password of your choice. This information is used to create and manage your account, provide you with access to exclusive content, and facilitate your purchases. Your account information is protected by SSL encryption and is only accessible by you and authorized personnel.

7. Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

8. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

9. Data sharing

We do not provide any user or customer data to anyone for a fee or free of charge. Only entities involved in the transaction (e.g. the customer’s bank, online payment service provider, courier) have access to the customer’s sensitive data.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. It is the responsibility of the website user to provide the correct e-mail address and to secure access to it.

10. Data storage time

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
