Information Collection and Use
BancroftPress.com is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. BancroftPress.com collects information from our
users at several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to become a customer on this website, a user must
first complete the registration form. During registration
a user is required to give their contact information (such
as name and email address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which they have
expressed interest.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here
a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing
an order, this contact information is used to get in touch
with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is
in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked
to personally identifiable information.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we [BancroftPress.com] are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to security@BancroftPress.com.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password
and username. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter.
Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the
option to not receive these types of communications. Please
see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates.
Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements,
which contain important information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide requested services and
in regards to issues relating to their account via email or
phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such
as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service,
we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove
that user's personal data provided to us. This can be done
at the member information page
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected. |
