Q1 What is Our Privacy Policy?
This Privacy Policy applies only to personally identifiable information collected
on the Website where this Privacy Policy is posted. When this Privacy Policy
uses the term "personally identifiable information," we mean information that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual's
name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number. When other information
is directly associated with personally identifiable information, this other
information also becomes personally identifiable information for purposes of
this policy. Personally identifiable information is sometimes referred to in
this Privacy Policy as "personal information." The terms of this Privacy Policy do not govern any other collection, use or
sharing of data about you by Disney Book Group, LLC.
Kids' Privacy Policy
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from
kids under the age of 13.
Q2 What types of information are we collecting online and how are we collecting it?

from you. You can access the Website and view our content anonymously. We may
add functionality to our website that may allow you to register or participate
in other services which may enable you to provide personal information to us.
Information Collected Through Technology:
We may collect information through technology to make our sites more interesting
and useful to you and for various purposes related to our business. For instance,
when you come to our site, your IP address is collected so that we know where
to send information you are requesting. An IP address is often associated with
the place from which you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet service
provider), your company, or your university. Standing alone, your IP address
is not personally identifiable. We may combine IP addresses with personally
identifiable information for various purposes, including enforcing compliance
with our terms of use or to protect our service, Website, guests, or others.
Our Website may collect information through a variety to technical methods,
including cookies and web beacons. Cookies are pieces of information that a
Website sends to your computer while you are viewing the Website. Web beacons
are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of Websites.
We may use these technical methods for a variety of purposes, such as delivering
content, and tracking and enhancing our guests' experience on our Website.
For example, this information can enable the Website to remember important
information that will make your use of the site more useful. These technical
methods may enable us to collect and use information in a form that is personally
identifiable.

General Uses

your personal information to reply to an e-mail inquiry you may send us, or
to respond to your request for materials, such as Advance Readers Copies.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may take your personally identifiable information and make it non-personally
identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals
(aggregating your information with information about other individuals), or
by removing characteristics (such as your full name) that make the information
personally identifiable to you (de-personalizing your information). Given the
nature of such non-personally identifiable information, we may use and/or share
such information without restriction.
Third Parties That Facilitate Communications and Transactions with You
Sometimes we hire third parties to help us deliver products, services or information,
such as air courier companies. We may also work with third parties who help
either gather your information or communicate with you. Nonetheless, except
as separately permitted by other provisions of this Privacy Policy, these third
parties are allowed to gather, receive, and use your information only for the
purposes described in this paragraph or as required by law.

disclosures (a) are required by law including, for example, to comply with
a court order or subpoena, or (b) will help to: enforce our terms of use; protect

of property that belongs to you; and/or protect the safety and security of

time to time, we may review our security procedures in order to consider
