Privacy policy

We gather a small amount of information about visitors to our website, as described below.

We us industry-standard methods of securing the information we gather, including encryption for personally identifiable information such as email addresses.

We do not display any user's personally identifiable information to other users on our website, nor do we provide this information to any other organizations.

Important: Throughout this policy, the term "book" is used to refer to not only books, but also DVDs, compact discs, audio books, electronic books, or any similar electronic or digital item.

All users

Certain areas of our website request information that will be displayed on our website. This includes, for example, a nickname (for members), and comments on books. The areas of our website that gather such information clearly state that the information will be displayed on our website.

For all users, including anonymous users, we may gather information about the type of web browser the user is using, and the IP address the user is connecting from.

We may use HTTP cookies to track user status while a user is visiting our website.

All members

For users who join BookProject, we gather an email address, a nickname, and a generic location. We do not gather (or allow) real full names, or real physical addresses, for member profiles.

Members who deploy books

To "deploy" a book means to put a person's own book into circulation with BookProject. (For more information about deploying books with BookProject, please visit our FAQ page.)

When a member deploys books with BookProject, we gather no personally identifiable information, beyond what we gather for all members. Further, nothing is displayed on our website that reveals who deployed the books.

Travelogs

A BookProject "travelog" is a record of the travels of a single book. Each entry in a travelog contains the nickname of the member who logged the entry (or "anonymous" for users who logged an entry without becoming a BookProject member), the date of the entry, and comments about the book, if any were entered.

Only BookProject members can view travelogs. Users who do not become members are welcome to create travelog entries anonymously, but they cannot view travelogs.

Members can only view the travelogs of the specific book copies they have deployed or read.

Removal from our database

At any time a member in good standing may request that we terminate their BookProject membership and remove their email address from our database. We will comply with this request within a reasonable time period.

Monitoring of Content

BookProject has no obligation to monitor the content that members post or transmit on this website. However, BookProject has the right and ability to perform such monitoring, and the right (but not obligation) to reject or remove any content that violates applicable law, these Terms and Conditions, and any other agreement that users are bound to abide by.

Policy changes

We reserve the right to update and enhance our privacy policy from time to time. The date of the last change to this policy will be displayed with this policy. Users are responsible for checking for changes to this policy. To the extent required under applicable law, and to the extend BookProject possesses a current email address of users, users will be notified by email of any material change to this Privacy Policy.
