Your privacy is very important to us.

Garden Bookstore Privacy Policy

This site is part of the Waynick Book Group network of web sites. Waynick Book Group takes your privacy very seriously. Because of this, we want to provide you with explicit information on how the Garden Bookstore collects, gathers, and identifies information during your visit to our site. This information may be expanded or updated as we change or develop our site. For this reason, we recommend that you review this policy from time to time to see if anything has changed. Your continued use of our site signifies your acceptance of our privacy policy.

"Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, email or postal address. In many cases, we need this information to provide the personalized or enhanced service that you have requested.

The amount of "Personally Identifiable Information" that you choose to disclose at this site is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us in conjunction with one of our services.

What information do we collect?

Orders

We request information from you on our order form. Here you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with you.

Contests

From time to time, we provide contests for the enjoyment of our users. By participating in the contest or sweepstakes and answering any and all questions, the user understands that we may use the information obtained for marketing purposes. Children under 18 may not participate in any sweepstakes or contest.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about your internet use. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once you close your browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that you will be limited in some areas of our site.

Log Files

We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

How do we use information?

Shipping Orders

An outside shipping company will be used to ship orders that require physical product delivery. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Special Offers

Established customers will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option not to receive these types of communications.

Choice/Opt-out

You are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having you information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our application form has an "opt-out" mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners, you may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the directions provided in each communication.

Do You Have to Provide Personal Information?

You can decline the exchange of any information on any site on the Internet — not just ours — at any time. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information, such as a personalized email, contest entries, or the purchase and shipment of products.

If you have provided us your email address, we may periodically send promotional email to you about products and services offered. You will be give the oppertunity to be removed from our list if you do not wish to receive information via email.

The "email this to a friend" feature is an easy way for you to send information through email. The email addresses that you supply to use this service will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.

Your Consent

By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of the information described in this Privacy Policy by the Garden Bookstore.

Questions?

We welcome your questions and/or comments

Notification of Changes

If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you by way of an email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner.

Garden Bookstore's Customer Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
