ReadHowYouWant.com. ("ReadHowYouWant" or "we" or "us") is committed
to respecting the privacy of visitors to its web sites. The guidelines below explain
some of the steps we have taken to protect the privacy of visitors to ReadHowYouWant.com
and its features.
ReadHowYouWant.com protects the identity of visitors to
www.ReadHowYouWant.com ("The Website") by limiting the collection of
personal information. For some activities, such as making a purchase on the site,
we may request a voluntary submission of information such as name, e-mail address,
city, state, and age. ReadHowYouWant.com does not knowingly collect or solicit personally
identifying information from or about children under 13, except as permitted by
law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation
of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe ReadHowYouWant.com
has any information from or about anyone under 13, please e-mail us at
sitecops@ReadHowYouWant.com. ReadHowYouWant.com will not download spyware
onto your computer to collect personally identifying information or information
about how you use your computer. All personally identifying information collected
through ReadHowYouWant.com is used by ReadHowYouWant.com and its staff to process
and manage subscriptions, track site usage patterns and statistics, or to deliver
services through The Website. Such information may also be used by the company for
market research or for prize or information-request fulfillment unless otherwise
indicated. Such information will not be posted or published by us, and it will not
be provided to third-party providers without your consent except to provide services
to you on behalf of ReadHowYouWant.com (such as a printer being told your name and
address so allow the printer to deliver a book to you) or as anonymous aggregated
data, described below. If you choose to provide personally identifying information
to us, you may receive the following types of e-mails from us:
- E-mails related to subscription-maintenance activities.
- Periodic e-mail newsletters highlighting new features, content, and usage tips for
ReadHowYouWant.com.
- Periodic special offers for additional ReadHowYouWant.com's products and services.
- Periodic special offers from ReadHowYouWant.com approved partners if you "opt-in"
or give us your permission to send them.
When you provide personally identifying information to us, you can let us know that
you do not wish to receive special ReadHowYouWant.com or partner offers. Each offer
will also have information available to allow you to "opt out" if you wish to receive
no further offers. Anonymous aggregated data may be provided to other companies
we do business with for statistical or market research purposes. For example, we
may report to advertisers that a certain percentage of our site's users are adults
between the ages of 25 and 35. ReadHowYouWant.com may use the services of third
parties such as an advertising agency for the serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions
and other marketing messages. To do this, the third party may collect anonymous
data through the use of cookies or by other means. ReadHowYouWant.com may also disclose
personally identifying information in special legal circumstances. For instance,
such information may be used where it is necessary to protect our copyright or intellectual
property rights, or if the law requires us to do so. ReadHowYouWant.com may disclose
personal information to bona fide researchers from a charity or established educational
institution for purposes of research. The researchers will be required to sign an
agreement with us to keep this information confidential, and they will not be given
names or contact details. If they wish to contact you, they will do so through the
web site messaging system which does not require the researcher to know the name
of the person being contacted to send a message.
Any personally identifying information collected through The Website is stored on
secured servers. We will maintain safeguards to protect these servers and the personal
information they store.
We may occasionally conduct on-line surveys. All surveys are voluntary and you may
decline to participate.
We use cookie technology and software logs to monitor the use of ReadHowYouWant.com
and to gather information about visitors to The Website. None of the information
we gather in this way can be used to identify any individual who visits The Website.
These monitoring systems allow us to track general information about our visitors,
such as the type of browsers (for example, Netscape or Internet Explorer), the operating
systems (for instance, Windows or Macintosh), or the Internet providers (for instance,
AOL) they use. This information is used for statistical and market research purposes
to tailor content to usage patterns and to provide services requested by our customers.
All the information on The Website is copyright and it cannot be redistributed or
used for commercial purposes.
