Here are the types of information we

Does
anybook.com share the Information it receives?
Information about our customers is
an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it
to others. anybook.com shares customer information only as described below and
only then if those third parties follow practices at least as protective as
those described in this Privacy Notice.
- Third Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and
individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include
fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail,
removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data,
providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links
(including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments and
providing customer service. They have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with
this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the UK's Data Protection Act.
- Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our
business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries or business units. In
such transactions, customer information generally is one of the
transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in
any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).
Also, in the unlikely event that Anybook Ltd. or substantially all of its
assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
- Protection of anybook.com and
Others: We
release account and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and
Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or
safety of anybook.com, our users or others. This includes exchanging
information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection
and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include
selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable
information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is
contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.
- With your consent: other than as set out above,
you will receive notice when information about you might go to third
parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the
information.
Whenever we transfer personal
information to countries outside of the European Economic Area in the course of
sharing information as set out above, we will ensure that the information is
transferred in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the
applicable laws on data protection.
How Secure
Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information
during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which
encrypts information you input.
- We maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of
personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean
that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose
personal information to you.
- It is important for you to
protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.
Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers
