Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, as defined by applicable law. It does not include aggregated information that does not allow you to be identified, nor does it include business contact information such as your name, title, business address and business phone number.
When visiting this web site, the IP address used to access this web site may be logged along with the dates and times of access. It is important to know that any recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Other information may be collected as well by BLF-S.com, which is rather typical of most web sites; for instance, the referral source. Likewise, your duration on this web site and your destination when you leave this web site can also be tracked.
The personally identifiable information we collect is strictly limited to the information you provide us. For example, you might contact us with an inquiry; or register on the site, post information to public areas of the site or take advantage of a promotion. When you place an order for one of our books you will have to give us your address and credit card information along with your name. By providing any personal information to us, you fully understand and clearly consent to the transfer of such personal information to, and the collection and processing of such information in, other countries or territories. Any such transfer and processing by us will be in accordance with this privacy statement.
The need for collecting personal and private information from you is simply to conduct our business. We use this internally to better serve you. Accordingly, we see no reason to share your personal information with other parties and outside interests unless you have authorized us to do so. Of course, there are instances where your information is stored with third party service providers, such as email service providers, as they provide services that are industry-leading in quality and security and are far more beneficial to our end user than attempting such services "in-house". However, you are never required to deal with any such third party directly. They are limited in how they use your information, and they cannot sell or transfer it to others in any way.
Note that should you disclose something in a blog post comment, that "private" information is now "public", and we have no control over that.
While we are staunch privacy advocates, there are times when even we may be forced into disclosure. Just as major search engines face ongoing compulsion to provide data against their will, so too may the same occur with this web site. Illegal activity or other serious acts or allegations could create legal liability for this web site. In those cases, we reserve the right to share your information, or else may simply be compelled to do so by law.
Cookies are another common internet practice. They are data packets that come from your computer's browser. Cookies are a key means of improving user experience by allowing us to customize your use of this web site. You are free to disable these cookies. Understand that refusing cookies may cripple some of this web site's features and render some aspects useless to you.
We take security seriously and we take precautions to keep your personal information secure. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and us, or information stored on our servers, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.
At your request, where the law requires us to do so, we will confirm what personal information we hold about you, update your information, remove your information and/or correct any inaccuracies in such personal information.
We have included links on this web site for your use and reference. We are not responsible for the privacy policies on these web sites. You should be aware that the privacy policies of these web sites may differ from our policy.
