The last update to our Privacy Policy was posted on February 4, 2013. This Privacy governs the privacy policy of our Website, www.BookDok.com
"Non-Personal
Information" (NPI) is information that is in no way personally
identifiable and that is obtained automatically when you access our
Website
with a web browser.
"Personally
Identifiable Information" (PII) is non-public information that is
personally identifiable to you and obtained for us to provide you with
a
product or service. PII
may include
information such as your name, address, phone number, and other related
information that you provide to us.
Our Privacy Policy tells you what PII we may collect from you, how we
may share
your PII, and how you can limit our sharing of your PII.
BookDok is committed to the security and privacy of all our customers. We take your privacy seriously, and we will work with you to ensure that you have an enjoyable online experience.
BookDok
and our
affiliates respect your privacy and recognize the need for appropriate
protection and management of your PII you share with us.
[OPTIONAL:
As a part of
our commitment, we have adopted the guidelines used by the Direct

Other than as necessary to provide you with
goods and services, we agree to (1) provide our customers with notice

ability to opt out of information exchanges with our affiliates; (2)
honor our
customers’ requests not to have their information transferred
to our
affiliates; and (3) honor our customers’ requests not to

Our Website may contain links to other websites.
You understand that these websites are not
under our control and are not subject to our Privacy Policy. These websites will likely
have their own
privacy policies. We
have no
responsibility for these websites and provide links to these websites
solely
for your convenience.
You acknowledge that your use and access of these websites is solely at
your
own risk. It is
your responsibility to
check the privacy policies of these websites to see how they treat your
personal information.
You can visit our Website without providing or revealing PII. However, we may receive
and store certain
types of NPI when you interact with our Website.
We may analyze NPI for trends and statistics
as to how people use our Website.
Unless
you wish to acquire goods or services through our Website, we typically
will
not require you to provide PII.
We
receive and store PII that you provide to us when you place an order,
register
with us, send an email or call us, enter a contest, subscribe to a
service,
request to receive a catalog or brochure, or participate in a promotion. In addition to your PII,
we may also collect
PII that you submit to us about other people, such as the name and
address of
someone you are referring to us.
Ultimately, you have the choice in deciding whether or not
to provide
PII to us.
We use PII that you provide for our internal purposes, such as
confirming and
tracking your order, subscription or registration; analyzing statistics
and
demographics; and informing you of new products, services, and offers
as
provided by us and/or our affiliates.
Our
affiliates may have
products, services, or offers about which you may be interested in
receiving
information and they may use the PII we have for you to contact you. If you don’t
want to receive information from
our affiliates, you can let us know so you’re no longer
contacted by our
affiliates about their products, services, or offers.
We
may also combine information
you give us online or through printed forms; publicly available
information;
and information we receive from other parties.
We use this combined information for your online
experience and to let
you know about new products, services, offers, and other promotion.
To
give you the best
possible service, we may use our affiliates to provide contracted
services for
our business, including, but not limited to processing credit cards,
hosting
our website, shipping products to you, or advertising.
In many cases, we will need to provide some
if not all the PII you provide to use so our affiliates can perform
these
services. Our
affiliates are only
authorized to use your PII as provided within this Privacy Policy.
There
are times that we
may have to disclose your PII to comply with state and federal laws; to
assist
law enforcement and governmental agencies in preventing or
investigating fraud
or other crimes, or in response to a court order.
In such instances, we will only provide the
PII requested and your PII will only be used for legal purposes as
opposed to
marketing.
Finally,
if we sold or
transferred our business, we would transfer your PII to the purchaser
as
appropriate and might also retain a copy of your PII for any new
business
ventures we would start.
You may change your PII at any time using facilities found on our
