www.scrapbookretailermagazine.com is owned and operated by F+W Publications, Inc., headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Your online privacy is our highest priority. We appreciate your confidence in us and will continue to work diligently to uphold
that trust and provide you with a safe and secure environment in which to use and enjoy our services.
Our privacy policy is outlined below.
We promise to never sell, trade, rent, barter or share personally identifiable information collected during your use of our site without your prior permission.
Information We Collect
Like most internet companies, the web properties of F+W automatically tracks certain general information about our visitors to help us
continually improve the content, design and layout of our site and give you more of what you want to see and use. We collect each visitor's
IP address—a number automatically assigned to the computer whenever you surf the web—and use that number to monitor customer
traffic patterns and site usage. Measuring what parts of our sites are most popular with our users helps us to tailor them to better suit your needs.
In order to process, fulfill and service your book, magazine and school orders, we require your email address, postal address, credit card number
and credit card expiration date. We keep this information strictly private and confidential. Our security is provided from Verisign, the leading
internet security firm, and we use SSL (secure sockets layer) technology to encrypt your information when it's transmitted over the internet, ensuring
that credit card numbers and other information can only be read by their intended recipient. This technology is used any time you purchase something
with a credit card via our site.
Our sites may ask for personal information when utlize certain features, including but not limited to: entering contests or drawings; signing up
for e-mail newsletter; or signing up for e-mail service. We also sometimes ask users to complete surveys used for internal research purposes.
If we ask for any specific demographic information, it is only to help us tailor the information, products and services we provide to better fit
your needs and interests. Occasionally we may share non-individual statistical or demographic information in aggregate form with third parties,
but this is only done to improve the quality and content of our sites. We never share your personal information with third parties—only general
information about the site's entire user base.
We also never sell, trade, rent or release our e-mail lists to any interested third parties. We may occasionally send information provided by
outside companies to our email users and subscribers, but only if those users and subscribers have already given us specific permission to do
so during their initial registration for the services of our site. This third-party information will always come to you directly from our servers
and will be identified as a mailing from us, ensuring that no third party will ever have access to our emailing lists.
What About "Cookies"?
To service you faster and with better quality, we use cookies. "Cookies" are small data files that are stored by your browser on your
computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. For instance, when ordering books or other
products, our website simply assigns you a temporary ID number at random. That ID (and nothing else) is saved as a cookie. This enables
us to keep track of the information you enter until you either place your order or close your browser, at which time the unused cookie
is automatically removed. All order information is maintained on our secure server; only your temporary ID is passed back and forth and saved in the cookie.
We use cookies to track user traffic patterns, and the "shopping cart" function of our ordering processes requires cookies. We may
also use cookies to track any of our outside promotional campaigns, such as e-mail or other-site advertising. Such information will
enable us to better inform potential users of our products and services and improve the quality of our sites. Some of our special
services use cookies to identify users specifically, enabling us to "remember" your profile and therefore provide you with more
effective access to our products and services. You can use most of the features on our sites without having cookies activated in your browser.
Changes to Policy
Because earning your trust and confidence is so vital to us, we are always upfront about both our procedures for collecting information and
our use of that information. If we ever make any changes in either of these procedures, we will immediately describe those changes clearly
on this page. Thank you.
