What organizations are collecting the information?
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third-party service vendors (such as email service providers, credit card processors, and digital product distribution clearinghouses) who provide payment processing or email communications may collect this information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to them from Visitors and Authorized Customers. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.
How does the Site use Personally Identifiable Information?
We use Personally Identifiable Information to customize the Site, to make appropriate book and service offerings, and to fulfill requests for digital downloads or physical orders on the Site.

We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to contact Visitors and Authorized Customers in response to specific inquiries, or to provide requested information.
With whom may the information be shared?
We do not sell, rent, or trade your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties. We may share aggregated information about our Visitors, including demographics, with our technical vendors and service providers solely to maintain site functionality and deliver marketing communications on our behalf. We offer every user the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving information or being contacted by us at any time.

What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will notify our Visitors and Authorized Customers about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site.
