The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at Publishinggurus.com. The types of information we collect include:

Information You Give Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our Website, or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information; but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving our site, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you visit our site. For example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses PublishingGurus.com.

E-mail Communications:

We use your contact information to help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, and when we send out promotional e-mails. If you do not want to receive promotional e-mail from us, please let us know.

Information from Other Sources:

We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. An example of information we receive from other sources would be updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:

We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, we will include offerings directly from those businesses on PublishingGurus. In other cases, we may provide joint offerings from PublishingGurus and these businesses. You will always know when a third party is involved in the offering. Be aware that we share customer information related to those offerings with that business.

Third-Party Service Providers:

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from client lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Promotional Offers:

Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of PublishingGurus customers on behalf of other businesses. That business does not have access to your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please contact us.

Protection of PublishingGurus and Others:

We release account and other personal information when we believe such release is appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PublishingGurus, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.  Of course this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally-identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Our PublishingGurus.com site may include third-party advertising and links to other websites. We do not provide any personally-identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party websites.

These third-party websites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or “serve”) the advertisements that appear on our website directly to your browser. When this happens, they automatically receive your IP address. Other technologies they may use to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content include cookies, JavaScript, and web beacons (also known as “action tags” or “single-pixel gifs”). We have no access to, or control over, cookies or other features that they may use; and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their own privacy practices.
