Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2004
eBookGallery.com strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell,
barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period.
How We Gather Information From Users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided.
For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters
or when you make a purchase.
You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests,
message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most web sites, eBookGallery.com also collects information automatically and
through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors.
For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things,
the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means.
In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to
access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and
password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features according to your
preferences.
What We Do With the Information We Collect
Like other web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not
share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be
used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns
with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and
services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are
most attractive).
Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business
partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on eBookGallery.com to
communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our
Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by eBookGallery.com
and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by eBookGallery.com may also be used
for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting,
processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests,
and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support
for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such
information. We will use your information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell,
buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions,
user information may be among the transferred assets.
We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the
collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you
with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated Sites, Linked Sites and Advertisements

served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to
determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before.
Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties
and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. eBookGallery.com does
not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information,
