This privacy statement applies to all Gresham Books websites and domains. The Gresham Books websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Gresham Books website. Gresham Books does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from Gresham Book’s. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the Gresham Books privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information. Some third-party companies may choose to share their personal data with Gresham Books; that sharing is governed by that third-party company's privacy policy.

2. Types of information we collect

This privacy statement covers personal information, non-personal data collection and aggregate reporting.

Cookies

At Galore Park we are keen to enhance your visit to our website and this is best achieved by understanding your online preferences. This allows us to tailor the website to your interests and that is why we use cookies.

Cookies are small amounts of information that are transferred from our web server to your web browser and is then stored on your hard drive. A cookie is not capable of reading any data off your hard drive but simply tells us when you have visited and where you have been on our site. This information helps us to make your visits to the site easier and also assists in personalising your future visits.

Cookie preferences can be changed at any time. You do not have to accept them and you can disable them at any time by checking with your browser’s help section. However if you choose to disable the cookies then some features of our website may not work as we would wish.

3. Children's privacy

Gresham Books is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. Gresham Books does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and Gresham Books does not target its websites to children under 13.

4. How we use your information

Gresham Books uses your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some Gresham Books websites. Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding Gresham Books products or services. We will give you the opportunity to choose your privacy preferences regarding such communications (see section 7, "Your privacy preferences and opting out"). Sensitive personal information is collected only to facilitate our financial service providers' credit decisions and will be shared with them only with your permission. Sensitive personal data is not used for any other purpose by our financial services providers or Gresham Books and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Gresham Books, information collected through one Gresham Books service may be combined with information obtained through other Gresham Books services.

Our privacy practices are designed to provide protection for your personal information, all over the world. We may share your personal information within Gresham Books and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business. Some countries may provide less legal protection for your information. In such countries Gresham Books will still handle information in the manner we describe here.

Non-personal data is aggregated for reporting about Gresham Books website usability, performance and effectiveness. It is used to improve the customer experience, usability and site content.

5. Who we share your information with

Gresham Books will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. Gresham Books will not share your personal information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or services. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information. Gresham Books shares customer information across companies working on our behalf and Galore Park-owned business entities, but only as described above in "How we use your information."

Gresham Books contracts with third-party service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions described in "How we use your information." Suppliers and service providers are required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of Gresham Books and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Gresham Books. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers.

Gresham Books will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of Gresham Books or its subsidiaries; or (iv) to protect the personal safety of Gresham Books employees and third parties on Gresham Books property.

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Gresham Books decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its business. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is Gresham Book’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

6. Your choices

Gresham Books gives you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You can subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information and Gresham Books -wide marketing communications. Gresham Books communications may include new product information, special offers, or an invitation to participate in market research. We give you a choice regarding delivery of Gresham Books communications by postal mail, e-mail and telephone. You can make or change your choices at the data collection point. Please refer to section 7 for further instructions. We will make every effort to honour your preferences. This option does not apply to communications for the purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings or software updates.

7. Your privacy preferences and opting out

Gresham Books will not use your personal information for a different purpose than the one stated when you provided your data. Examples of unrelated uses include sending communications about special offers, product information, and marketing messages. You can, however, choose to receive these types of non-subscription communications by following the instructions below.

8. Your information and third-party companies

Certain Gresham Books services may be linked with those from unrelated third-party companies, some of which offer you the option to share with both Gresham Books and the third party personal data you provide. We will not share your personal information with those third-party companies unless you make that choice.

9. Access to and accuracy of your information

Gresham Books strives to keep your personal information accurate. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to maintain customer data accuracy. We will provide you with access to your information, including making reasonable effort to provide you with online access and the opportunity to change your information. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as a password and user ID, before granting access to your data. Certain areas of Gresham Books’ websites may limit access to specific individuals through the use of passwords and other personal identifiers.

The most effective way to view and change your personal information is to return to the web page where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions on that web page.

10. Keeping your information secure

Gresham Books is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, Gresham Books has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.

If there are updates to the terms of Gresham Books’ Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so you will always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices you have.
