What information do we collect and how do we use it?
- When you order, we need to know your name, email address, mailing address, credit card number, and credit card expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.
- When you sign up for services like Newsletters or download certain software or plug-ins made available by us through our site, we need only a name, an email address, and a postal code -- which we use to send the information you requested.
- When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address, phone number, and email address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. LearningLaw may also host promotions and sweepstakes that may be sponsored and administered by outside parties. When you are entered in any sweepstakes or contest simply by making a purchase from us, only your order number is given to the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest. When the winning entries are chosen, only the names and addresses of the winners are shared with the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest, so that they can notify the winners. When you enter a sweepstakes or contest through an email entry, your email entry is sent to the supplier house that we use to help gather entries for our sweepstakes and contests. When the winners have been selected, the winners' email addresses may be shared with the entity administering the sweepstakes, so that they can be notified that they have won. When you enter a sweepstakes or contest through a mail-in entry, the information you provide on your entry is sent directly to the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest. Unless we explicitly notify you in the terms of the sweepstakes or contest, no other information is shared by LearningLaw with third parties in connection with any sweepstakes or contest. To the extent that any privacy information relating to a sweepstakes or contest conflicts with the information provided here, the specific privacy information regarding the sweepstakes or contest will be clearly stated in an area that will be accessible to potential entrants and will govern that particular sweepstakes or contest.
- When you participate in an Author Chat, you'll be prompted to submit your name and where you're from (for example, "Joe from Chicago") and your question, but no other information is formally stored in the archive of the chat.
- We may personalize your shopping experience by using your purchases and site behavior to shape our recommendations about the books, CDs, and other merchandise that might be of interest to you. We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site.
- We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the web site, new LearningLaw services, and special offers we think you'll find valuable.
How does LearningLaw protect customer information?
LearningLaw uses the latest encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. All your ordering information - including your name, address, and credit card number - is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. Your credit card and billing information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system. To ensure that your information is even more secure, once we receive your credit card information, we store it on a server that isn't accessible from the Internet.
Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution, which receives the credit card number and other personal identifying information only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. If you feel more comfortable doing so, you are welcome to call in your credit card information and complete your purchase by phone.
Will LearningLaw disclose the information it collects to outside parties?
From time to time, LearningLaw shares customer information - never credit card information - with trustworthy third parties. Also, LearningLaw may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. LearningLaw may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with law, (ii) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, or (iii) protect the rights, property, or safety of LearningLaw, our users, or others.
What is your policy if I link to a third-party web site?
When you click on links and/or ad banners that take you to third-party web sites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies. While we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, LearningLaw cannot be responsible for the actions of third parties. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement whenever interacting with any web site.
Your consent
By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by LearningLaw. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
