Acrodile Privacy Policy Statement

Information we collect and how we use it

* Registration information - When you register at Acrodile Publishing Ltd, we ask for your personal information so that we can provide you with the service. The information we require to register for the service includes your name, address, phone number, and email address. This information allows us to process payments and protect users from fraud. In some cases, we may also ask you to send us additional information or to answer additional questions to help verify your information. The information we collect is stored in association with your Acrodile Account.
* Information obtained from third parties - In order to protect you from fraud or other misconduct, we may obtain information about you from third parties to verify the information you provide.
* Transaction information - When you use the Acrodile Publishing Ltd online bookshop to conduct a transaction, we collect information about each transaction, including the transaction amount, a description of the books,  and the type of payment used.
* Information about your use of the service - In order to protect you from fraud, phishing, and other misconduct, we may collect information about your interaction with the service to help validate your identity or detect potentially fraudulent conduct. For example, in some circumstances we may try to determine service usage patterns (such as how quickly you type) so that we can try to detect and prevent unauthorized attempts to access your account (such as automated hacking attacks, or the use of stolen usernames or passwords). Any such information we collect will only be used to detect and prevent fraud or other misconduct, unless you explicitly grant us permission to use it in another manner.
* User communications - When you send email or other communication to us, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.


In addition to the above, we use the information we collect to:

* Provide our products and services to you, including the display of customized content and advertising;
* Perform auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our services;
* Ensure the technical functioning of our network; and
* Develop new services.

We will not sell or rent your personal information to companies or individuals outside of Acrodile Publishing Ltd. In addition, we will only share your personal information with other companies or individuals outside of Acrodile Publishing Ltd in the following circumstances:

* As necessary to process your transaction and maintain your account.    
* To detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
* We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.
* We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
* We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Acrodile Publishing Ltd, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.

* We may share aggregated non-personally identifiable information with third parties. For example, we may disclose that a certain percentage of our users have a billing address in a particular geographic area, or that a certain percentage of users use a particular type of credit or debit card. However, if we do share this aggregated information, we do not include personally identifiable information without your explicit opt-in consent or in the limited circumstances described above.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical and technical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. 
The security of your account also depends on keeping your account password confidential, and you should not share your account name or password with anyone. If you do share your account information with a third party, they will have access to your account and your personal information.
