2. PARTICIPATING MERCHANT POLICIES
Related services and offerings with links from this website, including vendor
sites, have their own privacy statements that can be viewed by clicking on the
corresponding links within each respective website. Online merchants and others
who participate in Abingdon Square Publishing services are encouraged to
participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude
towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the

are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We
recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of
merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
Abingdon Square Publishing collects certain information from and about its users
three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and
analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
• Your Internet protocol address.
• The kind of browser or computer you use.
• Number of links you click within the site.
• State or country from which you accessed the site.
• Date and time of your visit.
• Name of your Internet service provider.
• Web page you linked to our site from.
• Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
Abingdon Square Publishing may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a
Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a
site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and
eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login
information as well as providing personalized functionality..
Abingdon Square Publishing reserves the right to share aggregated site
statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings
then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you register, we
will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone
number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information. If
you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any
financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you
purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to
your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for
the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal
information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For
example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical
support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to
third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
• To fulfill your service requests for services.
• To protect ourselves from liability,
• To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
Abingdonsquarepublishing.com and/or abingdonsquarebooks.com web pages may
contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Abingdon Square Publishing to count users who have visited those
pages and to deliver co-branded services. Abingdon Square Publishing may
include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us
and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to
our website and how you use the site. Abingdon Square Publishing prohibits Web
beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. OPT-IN NEWSLETTER
When you subscribe to our opt-in newsletter, we collect your name and e-mail
address so that we can notify you of new releases and subject-specific website
features. You can unsubscribe from a newsletter at any time. Simply follow the
directions stated at the bottom of any newsletter.
6. ACCESSING WEB ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable
information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review
this information by contacting us by sending an email to our support attendant
at: support@abingdonsquarepublishing.com.
7. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
Abingdon Square Publishing has the discretion to occasionally update this
privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy page. We encourage you to
periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are
helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of
the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any
updates.
