Privacy Policy

Automatically collected information
Like most standard web servers, our web server collects information about visitors which it outputs into log files. Information collected in log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable. For example, we may use browser type information to fine tune our pages to specific browsers and other information in web server logs to administer and troubleshoot technical problems.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. We use cookies to keep track of items in your shopping cart. The persistent cookie allows you to keep items in your cart for periods beyond your current browser session. If you refuse cookies, you will be unable to use the shopping cart.

Personal Information
We do not collect personal information on our site. We track the items you have placed into the shopping cart. When you elect to purchase, the contents of your cart along with our Amazon ID number are sent to Amazon.com. Your browser is directed to the Amazon.com shopping cart and you have essentially left our site. Information collected after that point is subject to Amazon.com’s privacy policy.

Sharing
We may provide information gathered on our site to Penguin Putnam, our publisher.

Security
Since we do not collect personal or financial information, we do not find it necessary to use secure protocols such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) / digital IDs to protect the information transferred between the browser and your web server.

Contributed content
Submitting information through a form, such as our “Suggest a Tip” form, signals intent to have your comments or suggestions published. If published, those comments or suggestions will be viewed by the public, with attribution (your name) unless you specifically ask us to withhold this information.

Advertisers
We do not host advertisements on our site. We do not share information gathered on our site with advertisers.

This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
