Privacy Policy
Welcome to welltrainedmind.com. Here you can buy books and curricula written by Susan Wise Bauer, author of The Well-Trained Mind, and others. This site (the “WTM Site”) is owned by Well-Trained Mind Press (“WTM” or “we”). This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from welltrainedmind.com (the “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
– Google analytics and adsense tracks actions occurring on the Site, and collects data. Google tracks where you go on the WTM Site and combines that information with information that Google may have about you through your Google account (if you have one) and/or through your use of other Web sites that use Google Analytics. Google and its affiliates may use cookies to serve advertisements about goods and services of interest to you on the WTM Site and on other sites that you visit.
If you do not want your data collected with Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) running on websites to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics. To opt out of Google Analytics, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page and install the add-on for your browser. For more details on installing and uninstalling the add-on, please see the relevant help resources for your specific browser. Updates to your browser or operating system may affect the functionality of the opt-out add-on. You can learn about managing add-ons for Chrome here. If you are not using Chrome, check directly with the manufacturer of your browser to determine whether add-ons will function properly on the browser version that you are using.
– Facebook pixel tracks actions occurring on the Site, and collects data.
– We share e-mail addresses with our third-party e-blast provider, who sends out our newsletter on our behalf to people who have signed up for it.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, apple pay, and paypal), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
Communicate with you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
The personally identifying information that is provided on your registration form is entered into our Store database.
We forward your credit-card and billing information to our credit-card processor. We do not store any credit-card information on our servers.
We use your name and shipping address to ship anything you buy to you through one of our third-party shipping partners. The shipper will use your phone number and e-mail address to contact you if there is a problem with the shipment.
If you buy a product and ask that it be shipped to someone else, we use that person’s name and shipping address to send the product to that person through our third-party shipping partners. The shipper will use the person’s phone number and e-mail address to contact the person if there is a problem with the shipment.
We use the personally identifying information you enter on the newsletter subscription form to send you our newsletter. If you are a customer, we store your e-mail address on our servers and also share it with our e-blast provider, who sends out the newsletter. If you are not a customer and you ask to receive our newsletter, we will only forward your e-mail address to our third-party e-blast provider and not store it on our servers.
We use the personally identifying information you enter on the affiliate form to send you affiliate banners and text links and to send you any commissions you earn.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
