What Data We Collect

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We do not solicit or maintain personal data on any EU residents or companies.

When a visitor requests information from the Website, we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information about the request. This information includes the IP address of the computer making the request, the time and date of the request, the type of web browser being used, and, sometimes, the page from which the visitor is coming. The information does not contain the visitor’s name or email address.

Storey Publishing analyzes this information to learn about how visitors are using the content of the Website and to allocate resources effectively and improve content.

Personally Identifying Information

In certain situations, we may collect personally identifiable information from you. For example, we may collect our users’ first and last names, shipping address, email address, and phone number.

Except as specifically stated herein, Storey Publishing does not share or sell personally identifiable information to other companies. We may use the information you provide for our own internal purposes; for example, to alert users of offers that we believe may interest them. We may also use this information in order to complete transactions that you request, such as to send you a sweepstakes prize. Additionally, Storey Publishing may choose, on occasion, to include third-party offers in our communications with you. We maintain appropriate and reasonable safeguards to ensure the integrity, security, and privacy of the information in our possession.

When directed by a court of law or other government entity, or if we have a good faith basis to believe such action is necessary to comply with the law, we may be obligated to disclose personal information. In such an event, we will comply with the law and make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you, if legal.

You may opt out of receiving any email announcements when you register for one of our offerings. In addition, our email communications with you will provide a link allowing you to unsubscribe from future correspondence. If a particular registration form or email does not have an unsubscribe option, or if you’d like to be removed from our lists for any reason, notify Storey Publishing directly by emailing newsletter@storey.com. Please include your name, email address, and the offer for which you were registered so that we can effectively remove you from our lists.

For Parents

There are many activities offered by Storey Publishing that children can participate in and enjoy without having to share personally identifiable information.

For those activities that require personally identifiable information, such as contests and sweepstakes (in compliance with COPPA), Storey Publishing will not condition a child’s participation in an activity on that child disclosing more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to administer the activity.

Under COPPA, parents have the right to review and/or request deletion of their child’s personally identifiable information from Storey Publishing’s records, and to refuse permission to the further use and collection of a child’s information by contacting us at webmaster@storey.com.
