Harcourt Religion Publishers recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of our customers and visitors to our Website while permitting us to conduct legitimate business by providing services and information of interest to our customers and visitors. Thus, we have adopted the following privacy policy:

Collection and Storage of Information:
We will collect certain personal information, including, without limitation, your name, address, and e-mail address, when you register for our services or purchase our products. We maintain this information in our customer database. We may also collect additional information in connection with special offers, contests, or other promotions.

We may use "cookies" to recognize you and your access privileges on our site, as well as to trace site usage. A cookie is a piece of information that is sent to your Web browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Each time you return to this website we are able to identify you as a previous or registered customer. Cookies also enable us to measure traffic to this website, including the number of repeat versus new visitors, the time users spend online, and their navigation behavior. Collecting this information allows us to make changes that improve this website.
At the present time, we do not collect any personally identifiable information from children or from individuals who could be recognized as minors. If we do so in the future, we will comply with the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

Use of Information:
This information is used to provide the service or product requested; to enable billing and shipping; to provide you with information about related products and services, based on the preferences you have indicated; to improve our Web site; for development of new products and services; and for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We may hire companies to help deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package. In such instances, we will share the information required for the other party to perform the contracted service. On rare occasion, Harcourt will disclose personally identifiable information to necessary parties for purposes of protecting this website or visitors to this website, or enforcing compliance with the Terms of Use for this website.

We may share personally identifiable information within the Harcourt family of companies. From time to time, we may also share its customer lists with other reputable organizations whose products and services are likely to be of interest to its customers. We will not share your e-mail address with parties outside the Harcourt family of companies. You will be offered the option not to have your personally identifiable information shared with parties outside the Harcourt family of companies. Harcourt will not share personal information, such as mother's maiden name or credit card numbers, with third parties unless Harcourt notifies you otherwise at the time such information is collected. Harcourt will not disclose information concerning individuals' usage of this website to third parties except in aggregate form.

Please be aware that if you disclose personally identifiable information on website message boards or chat areas, that information may be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited communications from third parties. Such activities are beyond our control.

Security of Private Information:
We would like to be able to assure you that the information provided is absolutely safe. Unfortunately, several well-publicized instances of computer security breaches make it impossible to be so confident. We will take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide from theft, alternation or unauthorized inspection.

Your Rights:
All personally identifiable information you provide is on a voluntary basis. If you do not wish to reveal such information, you are free to simply ignore these offerings.

You may review and approve the information about you collected upon registration in our customer database. Upon request, we will remove that information from our customer database or change/correct personal information that you state is erroneous. However, you should understand that information about you in our databases may come from a number of sources, including orders placed by you and third party mailing lists.
