What information do we collect?

We collect personal information from you when you register for our service (directly or indirectly through a partner). “Personal information” generally means information that may be used, alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify a business or individual.

 

This information includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, username, or account information. Personal information does not include publicly available information or information that has been de-identified, aggregated, or in a form that is not capable of being associated with or linked to you.

 

We also collect information regarding our transactions and experiences with you, including your payment history. We may also collect information from third parties' websites or applications as specified in this policy below. We may also collect information through the use of cookies, as outlined below.

 

If you provide or make available any personal information about any business personnel, administrators, employees, owners, and other authorized persons you must first obtain their consent to disclose such information to us. You must inform all such other persons how we process personal information and all other terms of this Privacy and Security Policy.

 

What do we do with the information we collect?

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following manners:

• To compile, save, use and analyze your information in both a personally-identifiable form and an aggregated, non-personally identifiable form.

• To operate, maintain, improve, and provide to you our services, conduct our business, and process transactions.

• To verify your identity.

• To register you as a user and identify you when you sign in to your account.

• If you are approved for an account, product, or funding, to process, service, and collect your transaction, and otherwise service your account or product.

• To personalize your experience and improve customer service (your information helps us to respond better to your needs and requests, and assists with general communication).

• To develop and improve our website (we strive to ensure our website offers accuracy, support, and clarity, informed by feedback from our users).

• To detect and guard against potential security incidents, or other illegal activity.

 

Additional uses are outlined in the California-specific section below titled “What we do with your information”. We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in the policy.

 

How do we secure and protect your information?

We take the security of your data seriously and have set up practices, technologies, and policies to help ensure this.

• Our communications and processing occur through Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology, which encrypts and secures data that is accessible to TJ Oliver Books employees and representatives with special access rights. These individuals are required to keep the information confidential.

• We use the services of leading companies to process all financial transactions.

• To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

 

We strive to protect your personal information and apply commercial standards. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, TJ Oliver Books cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any data or content you transmit to us. In the event of a suspected breach of the security of your information, we will, to the extent required by law, notify you so you can take appropriate next steps and we will inform you of the steps we are taking with respect to any such suspected breach.
