Thank you for visiting Exbiblio's website. We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy for all of our site, including our blog.

We do not collect personal information unnecessary to our website function unless you choose to provide that information to us.

Automatic Collections: When your web browser requests a page or other content of our website, we collect and store the following information:

• the date and time
• the originating IP address
• the type of browser and operating system used
• the URL of the referring page
• the object requested
• completion status of the request
• pages visited

How the Information is Used: We use the information that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different areas of our sites, and to help us make our sites more useful to visitors. This includes analyzing these logs periodically to determine the traffic through our servers, the number of pages served, and the level of demand for pages and topics of interest.

How Long is the Information Retained: The logs may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent security breaches and to insure the integrity of the data on our servers.

Interaction with Children: Exbiblio's websites do not provide content to children and do not collect personally identifiable information from these visitors. Therefore, the U.S. requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is not incorporated in this privacy policy.

Cookies: Cookies improve the user-experience of our website. Cookies are small files that Web servers place on a user's hard drive. They can serve several functions:

• they allow the Web site to identify return visitors each time they access a site;
• they are used to track what information you view at a site (important to commercial sites trying to determine your buying preferences);
• businesses use them for customer convenience to allow them to produce a list of items to buy and pay for them all at one time and to garner information about what individuals are buying at their sites;
• advertisers use them to determine the effectiveness of their marketing and offer insights into consumer preferences and tastes by collecting data from many Web sites; and
• they can be used to help a Web site tailor dynamic content to each customer's preference.

If you are concerned about the potential use of the information gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to prompt you before it accepts a cookie. Most Internet browsers have settings that let you identify and/or reject cookies.

Forms: Some of our pages provide forms allowing visitors to submit blog comments, search engine queries, questionnaires, feedback, or other information. Some of these forms may request personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, e-mail address) for specific purposes, such as when the submitter is requesting a personal response, registering for a conference, or subscribing to a mailing list. All information submitted by visitors is voluntary.

We may store non-personally identifiable information we collect (such as search engine queries and anonymous survey responses) indefinitely to help us better understand and meet the needs of our visitors. We may share non-personally identifiable information with others, including the public, in aggregated form (for instance, in a list of our most popular search engine queries), in partial or edited form (such as in a report summarizing responses to a questionnaire), or verbatim (for example, in a complete listing of survey responses).

Web Visit: We will not share any personally identifiable information you give us with third-parties, except with your consent or as required by law.

Email: Email often contains personally-identifying information. Exbiblio retains email. Email is not necessarily secure from interception or misdirection. You may wish to communicate sensitive information using a method other than email.

Business Transfers: We might sell or buy business subsidiaries, or ourselves be aquired. However your data will remain subject to the promises made in this pre-existing Privacy Notice (changes to this policy will not be retroactive, unless the customer consents otherwise).

Information Protection: We will protect all information you send us to industry best-practice standards. During financial transactions with Exbiblio, we (or the third-party payment systems we employ) work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software or other means, which encrypts information you input.

The principles discussed here are governed by recommendations made by the National Information Infrastructure Task Force Privacy Working Group on June 6, 1996
