MOMENTUM BOOKS PRIVACY POLICY

This is the Privacy Policy for the United States of America.

    Thank you for visiting MomentumBooks.com, an Hour Media site. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used by Momentum Books and Hour Media.


THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You are able to visit much of this website without providing any personally identifiable information. Sometimes, however, we do need your personally identifiable information to provide you with the products and services that you request. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages and elsewhere include, but are not limited to: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services.

    To enable site users to purchase books via MomentumBooks.com, a user's personally identifying information will be shared with a third-party service provider solely for the purpose of order fulfillment and credit card verification. A user's personally identifying information will not be sold or rented to any other party. Site users have the option of saving shipping and billing information on the site to expedite future orders. If you choose not to register this information on the site, once we have processed your order, we will safely discard your credit card information. All credit card information is stored on a secure server. We may hold on to your billing and shipping information for future mailings promoting books similar to the one you ordered, but we will not share or sell this information at any time.

    Occasionally, we may conduct contests or promotions through our Web site, and ask users to submit their name and address. This information is used only for the purpose of the contest or promotion and then discarded.
    We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider (not your e-mail address).


HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION

We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries about offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

    We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to fulfill a request by you or to contact you about your     account with us.

    We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our publications and websites and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.

    We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

    Agents and contractors of Momentum Books who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Momentum Books.

    We may transfer your personally identifiable information to other Hour Media offices for internal management and administrative purposes. Your personal data will be transferred to other Hour Media offices where necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contractual obligations to you or for your benefit. Transfers of personally identifiable information may also be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

    Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.


PRIVACY OPTIONS

Hour Media sites will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.


OUR COMMITMENT TO SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect.
