Privacy
Policy
SECTION – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you browse our SITE, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. We do not collect your personnel information as purchases for products are not made directly through booksandbards.com and are instead made directly through our vendors/affiliates and host websites.
SECTION 2 – CONSENT
How do you get my consent? When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it. We may also share your Personal Information with third parties for third-party marketing purposes unless you elect for us not to do so by emailing us with your name and address at info@booksandbards.com. All emails and newsletters from our website will allow you to unsubscribe and opt out of future mailings.
How do I withdraw my consent? If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime, by contacting us at info@booksandbards.com or mailing us at: Books and Bards, 1 Research Court, Suite 450, Rockville, MD, 20850, United States
SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Use.

SECTION 5 – SECURITY
