Leap Books, LLC (hereinafter identified as Leap Books)
has adopted a Privacy Policy that describes how we collect,
use and share personally identifiable information (PII)
that we obtain from and about individuals both online
and offline that is set forth below.
Leap Books Privacy Policy
Some of our online activities are directed to children
under 13. When those activities involve the collection
of PII, Leap Books provides additional privacy protections.
Please check here for our protections for the online
collection of PII from children under 13.
When we collect PII in manual format, such as on a
postcard or subscription form, you will receive a short
notice that describes how to obtain the full text of
this policy and other relevant information from us.
Leap Books may, from time to time, revise this Privacy
Policy to reflect industry or marketing initiatives,
changes in laws, new features of our website, or the
latest technology. Please review our policies periodically
to stay current on our policies and practices.
COLLECTION of Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) by Leap Books
Leap Books may collect personally identifiable information
(or example, your full name, e-mail address, mailing
address, or telephone number) to create or enhance a
relationship with you. We collect PII from you only
when you voluntarily submit the information to participate
in contests, giveaways, games, surveys, forums, book
clubs, subscriptions, chats, bulletin boards, or advisory
committees, or because you have asked us to send you
products, services, or information. If we obtain PII
from a third party, we will use only reputable sources
of such information.
At this time, Leap Books does not employ any cookies
on its website. Cookies are small bits of information
that website operators place on the hard drive of your
computer. Cookies remember information about your activities
on the site and enable the company to make your visits
to the website more enjoyable.
It is possible that in the future, we may use cookies
to store information such as your password for easy
logon or your use of the site that will allow us to
send you information about our upcoming products or
promotions. If at any time, we decide to do this, we
will obtain your express prior consent, and the cookies
will not contain PII. You can always program your computer
to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or you
may refuse cookies completely.
NOTICE: Leap Books Will Notify You of PII Collection
Practices
When Leap Books collects PII, we will inform you who
is collecting the information, how and why the information
is being collected, and the intended use of that information.
Additionally, we will notify you of your options regarding
our use of your PII and let you know if we intend to
share it with outside companies or disclose it to third
parties.
The Leap Books website may be linked to Internet sites
operated by other companies. Some third-party sites
may have a Leap Books logo, even though they are not
operated or maintained by Leap Books (e.g., websites
owned and operated by our authors or websites used for
the sale of our books). Our website may also carry advertisements
from other companies. Although we choose our business
partners and advertisers carefully, Leap Books is not
responsible for the privacy practices of sites operated
by third parties linked to our sites or for the privacy
practices of third parties that advertise on our website.
Once you leave the Leap Books website by clicking on
a link, be sure to check the third-party’s privacy policy
to see how they handle PII they collect.
CHOICE: Leap Books Gives You Choices about
the Use of Your PII
Leap Books will allow you to decide whether or not
your PII may be used for purposes different from the
purpose for which it was submitted. You may also choose
whether or not your information may be shared with companies
that are not affiliated with Leap Books.
USE: How Leap Books Uses Your PII
Leap Books will use your PII in a manner that is consistent
with this stated policy and only for the purpose for
which it is submitted, unless you give us permission
to use your information in another way.
Leap Books may share your PII with companies affiliated
with us or with companies that are not affiliated with
us that would like to send you information about their
products and services. For example, Leap Books may offer
a contest sponsored by another company or individual,
and the co-sponsor may wish to send you information
concerning its products or services. You may, however,
instruct us not to share your information with third
parties.
Leap Books's employees, agents, and contractors must
have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to
your PII. Outside contractors or agents who help us
manage our information activities (i.e., contest administration,
order fulfillment, statistical analyses) may only use
PII to provide Leap Books with a specific service and
not for any other purpose.
If Leap Books obtains PII from a third party, such
as a business partner, our use of this information is
governed by this Policy.
The only time Leap Books may disclose PII without providing
you with a choice is if it is necessary to protect the
legal rights of Leap Books, their employees, authors,
agents, or contractors; to protect the safety and security
of visitors to our website; to protect against fraud
or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the
law or legal process. In addition, if Leap Books sells
all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer
of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business
transfer, we may transfer your PII to a third party
as part of that transaction.
SECURITY: Leap Books Protects the Security
of Your PII
Leap Books uses reasonable administrative, technical,
personnel, and physical measures to safeguard PII in
its possession against loss, theft, or unauthorized
use, disclosure, or modification. We also attempt to
keep your PII accurate, up-to-date, and appropriately
complete.
ACCESS: Accessing or Correcting Your PII or
Stopping All Future Communications from Leap Books
You may review your PII at anytime. If you want to
know what information Leap Books collects from visitors
to its website, please send your request to webmaster@leapbks.com
or write to Leap Books, LLC Attn: , P.O. Box 112, Reidsville,
NC 27320-0112. If you would like to know whether Leap
Books has collected PII about you, please send us the
list of activities you participated in on our websites
that requested PII. After reviewing the relevant databases,
we will confirm whether we have collected such information
about you.
Prior to changing any information about you or stopping
communication with you, Leap Books requires you to provide
proof of your name and address (e.g., a valid driver's
license). Once we determine that the information provided
is satisfactory, we will immediately modify the information
about you and/or and refrain from collecting PII about
you and/or communicating with you in the future, if
you so request. However, residual information may remain
in our databases that may or may not contain PII. This
information will not be given to any third party or
used for any commercial purpose.
