Your privacy is important to us.

We understand how important it is to the protect the privacy of visitors to the History Compass Site.

The privacy policy lets you know how we handle your information.

Information Collection and Storage

We collect information when you request a catalog, email a question, place an order, offer suggestions, or participate in a survey. Depending on the request, we ask you for your name, address, phone number, email, and other information. We keep order and address information in our computer system but we do not store the information on our website's server. We do not collect any personally identifiable information from children.

The site uses cookies only in connection with orders you place and only for the particular order you are placing at the time. We do not use cookies to collect any personally-identifiable information.

Information Use

We use information we collect to send catalogs or other mailings, fill orders, answer questions, respond to comments, follow up on surveys, notify you of offers, improve the site, develop new materials, and for systems administration. Information concerning individuals' use of the History Compass Site will not be disclosed to third parties, if ever, except in aggregate form (e.g., "nn% of the visitors to the History Compass Site are repeat visitors").

Information Security

As we said, we are committed to protecting your information. Access to your information is limited to authorized persons. We take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide us from theft, alteration, or unauthorized use or inspection. For example, we do not request credit card numbers over the Internet. We also allow payment through an online payment service provider, PayPal, that uses 128 bit SSL technology and digital certificates in connection with online shopping. When we ship your order, we use the United States Postal Services, UPS, and Federal Express and share only your address but no other personally identifiable information. We do not disclose personally identifiable information to other third parties.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our site, please contact us at mailto:info@historycompass.com . We reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information as required by law, to protect our rights or to comply with a court order.

Your Rights

Personally identifiable information you provide to us is on a voluntary basis. If you do not wish to disclose such information, you are of course free not to. If you wish to limit use of your personally identifiable information, you may also "opt out." For example, if you place an order but do not wish to be contacted with other offers or catalogs from us, you may indicate that preference by noting it on your order form.

You may review your information by contacting us at mailto:info@historycompass.com . On your request, we will correct or update personal information that you tell us is erroneous. You may also request us to remove, for any reason, any information from our computer system.
