The following policies are
applicable to the online Web site of Paradon Publishing and all future
imprints.
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to
us and Paradon Publishing is committed to protecting it. We collect
certain types of information about visitors to our websites, and here is
an explanations about the types of information we gather and what we do
with it.
Information Collected by
Paradon Publishing
Paradon Publishing.com
collects identifying information from users: personal data (such as names
and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about
traffic patterns on our websites, for example how many users visit our
websites on a daily basis).
Personal Data
Personal data is
collected when users voluntarily provide such information to
ParadonPublishing.com, for example in registering for
electronic newsletters or other membership services, in answering
surveys, purchasing items from our division, and registering
for online contests and other promotional opportunities provided by
Paradon Publishing or one of our imprints. Also, we collect
the e-mail addresses of users who post messages to our message
boards.
Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such
as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users,
such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through
various methods. For example, Paradon Publishing collects IP
addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever one surfs the Internet. Web servers, the computers
that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP
address, and when you request a page from ParadonPublishing.com, our
servers log your IP address. ParadonPublishing.com does not link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session
will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us.
Use of Cookies
ParadonPublishing.com does
not collect "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data
file that most major Web sites write to your hard drive for record keeping
purposes when you visit them.
Use of Information
ParadonPublishing.com uses
both the personal and aggregated information we collect for multiple
purposes. The information is used to improve content on our websites, to
customize the content and/or layout of our websites for each individual
user and to notify users about website updates or promotional offers or
announcements we believe will be of interest to you.
Paradon Publishing may
also share information with affiliates for internal business purposes and
may divulge personal information if such information is subpoenaed, or if
Paradon Publishing believes that any user has committed unlawful
acts, to acts that endanger the health or safety of another user or of the
general public. In some situations, we will share your personal
information, on a confidential basis, with third parties who perform a
particular service on our behalf, such as sending e-mails. Also, Paradon
Publishing may be sold or transferred to another entity. Should such
an event occur, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
In addition, in the event
ParadonPublishing.com plans to post any personal information on one of our
websites, we will either notify you of this possibility when you provide
the information and/or, if possible, when the information is posted.
Occasionally, we may post the
name of a user (for example a contest winner) on one of our websites.
Paradon Publishing will notify you of this possibility when you
provide your information or, if possible, will notify you when the
information is posted.

ParadonPublishing.com contains links to other sites and that those sites
may not follow the same privacy policies as ParadonPublishing.com and it's

include links from content providers, authors, and partners who may use

data and make uses of it that ParadonPublishing.com would not.
