​

1. Accountability
When we work with third party service providers who carry out services on our behalf (for example sending e-newsletters, shipping book purchases, processing credit card payments) we disclose your personal information to them only to the extent necessary to enable them to provide these specific services to you in accordance with Canadian laws.

 

We may provide links from the Site to other websites run by third parties. We do not represent their privacy practices thus we encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site to which you provide personal information.

​

2. Purpose of Data Collection
We will clearly inform you about the specific purpose for which we collect personal information at the point at which we collect it. We will typically ask you to provide personal and account information as needed to provide service to you.

​

Examples of specific purposes for which we will collect personal information from you are:

• verifying creditworthiness

• processing a book order

• processing an e-newsletter subscription

• establishing customer eligibility for special offers or discounts.

User Reviews

All reviews posted will be considered published, public information and will therefore no longer be confidential. The communication of personal and account information in that way means that that information can be collected and used by others, and you should assess that risk before doing so. By submitting such communication to the Site you automatically grant Big Queen Little Queen Publishing & Media Group a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, distribute, or translate that communication.
