A cookie is a tiny data file, which resides on your computer, which allows Bookrentalcenter.com to recognize you as a user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser. Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our website. Like the information you enter at registration or in your Profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on the web site.
One type of cookie, known as a "persistent" cookie, is set once you've logged in to your Bookrentalcenter.com account. The next time you visit the Bookrentalcenter.com web site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user so you will not need to log in before using the service. Additionally, if you log out of the Bookrentalcenter.com site you will need to re-enter your password the next time you visit in order to log in to your account. This cookie also functions as a "session" cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the Bookrentalcenter.com site. Session cookies sections expire after a short time or when you close your web browser.
Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the Bookrentalcenter.com web site we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave Bookrentalcenter.com. We also receive the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your ISP. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the Bookrentalcenter.com service. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is never shared with third parties without your permission or except when required by law.
Surveys, Contests, Testimonials
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys, contests or for a particular service (e.g. testimonial). Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested will include contact information (as supplied to the site during registration) and supplementary information on your opinions, feedback, testimonials, etc. In the event of a contest, we will use the contact information to notify winners. We will not publish winners' details on the site. If the survey or contest has a sponsor then we will share information given by entrants with the sponsor.
Payment Processing
In order to process payments online we require the billing address for the credit card used and our external payment provider, Authorize.net, requires your credit card number and details. This is all done on a secure Authorize.net server using SSL (secure sockets layer) technology. For additional information on Authorize.net, logon to www.Authorize.net and read their terms and conditions and policies.
Customer Names and Shipping Addresses
Bookrentalcenter.com uses third party providers to package and deliver books to its customers. Customer names and shipping addresses are shared with our suppliers and shipping providers in order to complete the delivery process.
3. Use of Your Information
When you place an order, we use your personal information to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of its status. Occasionally, we may email you about important changes to our website, new services, and special offers.
If you talk to us via email at bookrentalcenter@yahoo.com, or call us, we may post your comments on our website or on promotional materials.
We use the information you provide about someone else only to ship and confirm the delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete that order. When Customer Service receives questions over email, they use these email addresses only to reply to customers. Such addresses are not used for any other purposes and are not shared with any 3rd parties.
Finally, we never use or share the personal information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without providing you an opportunity to opt out.
4. Our Disclosure of Your Information
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.
As a general proposition, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.
Legal Requests
Bookrentalcenter.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights. Local, and international law enforcement agents can request and may receive your personally identifiable information.
5. "Refer a Friend" Services
Bookrentalcenter.com offers students the opportunity to refer friends by e-mailing site content to friends or colleagues. This will involve entering the e-mail address of your friend. We do not use the e-mail addresses you enter for any purpose other than to send your e-mail. We do not store, rent or sell these e-mail addresses.
6. Control of Your Password
We suggest that you keep your password private and avoid disclosing it to any third parties. If others have access to your password, the possibility exists that your personal information could be accessed and compromised.
7. Reviewing and Changing Your Personally Identifiable Information
You can at any time review and change the information you submitted during registration by visiting the login page on the site.
You must promptly update your information if it changes. Once posted, you cannot change or remove any public postings made in our forums or other message areas or the feedback area.
8. Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are other members of the Site or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them.
9. Security
In order to process and protect your credit card details, our payment provider, Authorize.net uses SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption. The secure server is hosted by Authorize.net and not Bookrentalcenter.com. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
10. Changes to Privacy Policy
Bookrentalcenter.com may update this privacy policy. In the event there are significant changes in the way we treat your personally identifiable information, we will display a notice on this site. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
