NY Book Press — Privacy Policy

At NY Book Press, the privacy of the people who visit our site and use our services matters to us. This policy sets out what we collect, why we collect it, and the control you have over your own information. You'll find it on any page where we ask for personal details, as well as on certain landing pages tied to our advertising. Questions are welcome — reach us through the contact details posted on our website.

If you'd rather not receive interest-based advertising, you can opt out here:

• https://optout.aboutads.info
• https://optout.networkadvertising.org

The "Interest-Based Advertising and Your Choices" section further down covers this in more detail.

What We Gather

We only ask for information when there's a genuine reason to, and we try to be upfront about that reason. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

• Ways to reach you, such as your name, email address, or phone number
• Anything you send us through a form, chat window, or email
• Documents or attachments you decide to share
• Account details like your name, address, company name, and phone number, if you set up an account

We safeguard this information and do not hand your personal details to outside companies for their own marketing.

How That Information Gets Used

Your information may go toward:

• Running, maintaining, and securing the website
• Making the site work better and easier to use
• Tracking how the site performs and fixing problems that come up
• Answering your questions and delivering what you've asked for
• Sending service updates and anything you've requested
• Refining our services and adding site features
• Emailing you about your inquiry or a service you've requested
• Spotting and stopping suspicious or harmful activity

Log Data and Information Collected Automatically

As most websites do, we keep log files that give us a basic picture of site activity. These usually hold technical or anonymous details such as:

• Your IP address
• The browser you're using
• When you visited
• The pages that led you in and out
• General page views and interaction counts

We rely on this for performance, security, and analytics.

How Long We Hold Your Data

We keep personal information only as long as the purposes in this policy call for, or as the law requires. For example:

• Inquiry and contact details stay with us while we handle your request and for a sensible stretch afterward, in case of follow-ups or to improve our service.
• Account information remains while your account is open and for a reasonable period after it closes, to meet legal and recordkeeping needs.
• Marketing preferences are kept until you opt out or until we no longer need them.
• Log and analytics data is held for a limited window — anywhere from months to a few years — and then deleted or stripped of identifying details.

We look over stored data from time to time and remove or anonymize whatever is no longer needed.

Privacy Rights for California Residents (CalOPPA and CCPA)
CalOPPA — California Online Privacy Protection Act

We meet CalOPPA's requirements by:

• Keeping a clear, easy-to-spot link to this policy on our site
• Letting visitors browse anonymously wherever that's possible
• Spelling out what we collect and how it might be shared
• Explaining how we announce updates to this policy (see "Changes to This Policy")

Do Not Track (DNT)

Certain browsers include a "Do Not Track" option. Because there's no agreed-upon industry standard for handling these signals, we don't respond to them in any particular way. That said, we limit some third-party tracking as described here and provide cookie and opt-out tools so you can manage your preferences.

To update or fix your information, reach us at the email address shown on our website.

CCPA — California Consumer Privacy Act

If you live in California, you may hold added rights, including:

• The right to know: you can ask what categories of personal information we collect, where it comes from, why we use it, who we share it with, and the specific pieces of data we hold, subject to verification.
• The right to deletion: you can ask us to delete personal information we've collected, within the limits the law allows.
• The right to opt out of sale: you can tell us not to "sell" your personal information. We do not sell personal information for money, and we haven't in the past 12 months. Should that ever change, we'll update this policy and add a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link.
• The right to fair treatment: exercising any of these rights won't cause you to be treated differently.

Exercising Your California Rights

Send your request to the email address listed on our website. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on it.

Cookies, Pixels, and Comparable Tools

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and to see how visitors move through the site. These tools help us improve performance and shape what you see.

Our cookie banner and consent controls let you accept or turn down non-essential cookies, including those used for advertising and analytics. Where the law requires it, non-essential cookies switch on only after you've given consent.

You can also handle cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through controls on our site.

Outside Links and Partner Practices

You may come across promotions or links to other websites through ours. Those outside sites may run their own cookies or similar tools under their own policies. We'd suggest reading their privacy policies for the details and any opt-out options.

Text Messaging Privacy

We do not pass phone number information to outside promotional partners for their marketing.

Worth noting: opt-in data and consent for text messages are never shared with third parties.

If you opt in to messages, you're agreeing to receive texts from NY Book Press about your inquiries and service communication. You can opt out whenever you like by replying STOP, or reply HELP for more information. How often messages arrive can vary, and standard messaging and data rates may apply.

GDPR Rights (Where They Apply)

If you're in a region covered by the GDPR or a comparable privacy law, your rights may include:

• Access to the personal data we hold about you
• Correction of data that's wrong or incomplete
• Deletion of personal data in certain situations
• Restriction of how your data is processed in specific cases
• Objection to processing under certain circumstances
• Portability of your data in certain cases

To make a request, contact us through the details on our website. Where required, we aim to reply within one month.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly gather personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us personal data, contact us, and we'll take steps to remove it.

Microsoft Advertising, UET, and Related Tracking

We use Microsoft Advertising for our advertising and to measure conversions. As part of that, we may run Microsoft's Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag.

Microsoft may collect or receive information when you interact with our site — things like cookies, device identifiers, device details, and your IP address — particularly if you arrive through a Microsoft ad or engage with our advertising.

We may share pseudonymous identifiers, such as cookies or advertising IDs, with Microsoft so advertising performance can be measured and improved. Where the law permits and consistent with your consent choices, this can include remarketing and interest-based advertising.

For more on how Microsoft handles data, see Microsoft's Privacy Statement:
https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

Where required, including in GDPR-covered regions, advertising and tracking scripts like Microsoft UET run only after you give explicit consent through our cookie banner or tools.

Interest-Based Advertising and Your Choices

We may work with advertising partners, Microsoft Advertising among them, to measure results and show ads that may line up better with your interests. These partners can use cookies and similar tools to understand activity on this site and others.

To opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies, use:

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): https://optout.networkadvertising.org
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): https://optout.aboutads.info

If you're on a mobile device, the DAA's AppChoices app can also help you manage ad preferences. On Windows, you can limit the advertising ID by going to Settings → Privacy → General and turning off advertising ID usage.

Text and Email Terms
What You're Agreeing To

When you give us your phone number or email address, you're agreeing that NY Book Press may contact you about your inquiry and book-related services.

• How often messages and emails arrive can vary
• Standard messaging and data rates may apply

How to Opt Out

Reply STOP to opt out of messages, or use the opt-out method included in our communications where available. Once confirmed, we'll stop sending as required.

Getting Help

Reply HELP to any message, or reach us at the email address on our website for assistance.

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy as our services shift, as laws change, or as our data practices evolve. When we do, we'll:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of the page, and
• For meaningful changes, give extra notice, such as a banner on the site or an email where appropriate.

It's a good idea to check back here now and then.

One Final Note on Your Contact Details

We handle your phone number and email address according to this policy. We do not share phone or email information with outside companies for their marketing, and we do not share text-message or email opt-in consent data with third parties.
