What Personal Information About Customers Does Silverback Publishing Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at Silverback Publishing. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display content such as wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services that might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve our store and website, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.

Here are the types of information we gather:

• Information You Give Us: we receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. See below to see examples of what we collect.

We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
• Automatic Information: we receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us.

• E-mail Communications: to help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Silverback Publishing if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your preferences using the link at the bottom of every marketing email we send.
• Information From Other Sources: we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. See below to see examples of the information we receive.

Does Silverback Publishing Share the Information it Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. Silverback Publishing shares customer information only as described below and with Silverback Internet Services Ltd and the subsidiaries which Silverback Internet Services Ltd controls and that are either subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

• 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 customer lists, analysing 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. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable data protection laws.
• Protection of Silverback Publishing and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of Silverback Publishing, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.
• With Your Consent: other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

Whenever we transfer personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area in the course of sharing information as set out above, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection.

How Secure is Information About Me?

• We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
• We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. All your personal and secure card payment is held by our payment provider which does not give us access to your full card number or CV2 security code.
• We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

Silverback Publishing gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with Silverback Publishing for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?

Those notices will still govern your use of Silverback Publishing and orders placed with Silverback Publishing, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)

• The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer.
