E-Book Systems is committed to protecting
your privacy. Generally, you can surf through most of our site without
giving us any personally identifiable information (such as your
name, address, phone number, or e-mail address) about yourself.
Sometimes we do need personally identifiable information to provide
services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains
data collection and use in those situations. This statement of privacy
also explains situations in which we may collect anonymous user
information. Please read the complete E-Book Systems Privacy Policy:
Why we collect personally identifiable
information
E-Book Systems collects and uses your personally identifiable information
to give you better customer service and to provide you with convenient
access to our products and services. We also use your personally
identifiable information to keep you up to date on the latest product
announcements, software updates, special offers, and other information
we think you’d like to hear about. We may also use your personally
identifiable information to contact you to participate in a market
research survey, so that we can gauge customer satisfaction and
develop better products.
Out of respect for your privacy, we give
you the option to not receive these types of communications. If
you do not wish to receive our promotional material you may opt-out
of receiving it by emailing us at unsubscribe@ebooksys.com at any
time. Additionally, you may instruct us to remove your information
from the customer lists which we distribute to our advertisers and
other third party marketers.
How we collect personally identifiable
information
We collect personally identifiable information about you in several
ways. For example, we might ask for your contact information when
you correspond with us, call us to make a purchase or request service,
register to attend a seminar, or participate in an online survey.
In addition, when you register a new E-Book Systems product, purchase
a product from our website, sign up for hosting services, respond
to one of our online surveys, fill in an online form, use our online
services, provide us with a card at a trade show, or ask to be included
in an email mailing list, we collect and store the information you
provide in a secure database.
When we disclose personally identifiable
information
E-Book Systems works with other companies that help us provide E-Book
Systems products and services to you, and we may provide your personally
identifiable information to these companies. For example, we give
shipping companies this shipping related information so they can
deliver your products efficiently.
E-Book Systems may occasionally share your
personally identifiable information with carefully selected technology
companies, to keep you informed about related products and services.
At times we may be required by law or legal
process to disclose your personally identifiable information. We
may also disclose information about you if we believe that disclosure
is necessary for the public interest.
Additionally, E-Book Systems may sell,
transfer, or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information
in the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, or the sale of
substantially all its assets.
How we protect your personally identifiable
information
E-Book Systems safeguards the security of the order data you send
us with physical and electronic procedures.
The E-Book Systems Store uses industry-standard
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal
information is required. To make purchases from the E-Book System’s
online Store, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or later, or Internet Explorer. This protects the
confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while
it is transmitted over the Internet.
Anonymous information
When you view a FlipBook, our server collects anonymous viewing
information. Anonymous viewing information is data regarding the
time spent viewing specific pages in the FlipBook, the order in
which pages are viewed, the time of day pages are accessed, and
IP addresses. Anonymous viewing information does not include any
personally identifiable information. We collect this anonymous viewing
information in order to understand customer usage and measure the
performance of our services. We may disclose this anonymous viewing
information in the form of aggregated statistics to third parties
for a variety of purposes. For example, we may disclose how long
the average viewer spends on a certain page for marketing purposes.
E-Book Systems as an Application Service
Provider
In certain instances, E-Book Systems may provide its technology
for collecting anonymous viewing information to third parties’
websites. The information E-Book Systems processes on such third
parties’ websites belongs to those third parties, and is governed
by their privacy policies. In certain instances, E-Book Systems
may obtain rights from those third parties to use the information
collected on an aggregated basis only for its own marketing and
internal analysis purposes.
