Privacy Policy
We know that you care how information about you is used and shared. We appreciate your trust in us, and are concerned about the privacy and security of your information.
The Information We Collect
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use cookies, and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses www.newgrowthpress.com. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide enhanced shopping features. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
Additionally, we may collect personally identifiable information (“Information”) from you in the form of your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card number, and other similar information upon your completing a transaction through our website. We will not collect any Information other than that which you voluntarily provide to us.
Your California Privacy Rights (for California residents)
Under California Civil Code, 1798.83, California residents who provide us with Information may, once each calendar year at no charge, request and obtain: (1) the categories of Information we shared; and (2) a list of those third parties that received such Information for direct marketing purposes. If applicable, the information we provide will include the names and addresses of those third parties that received Information from us in the immediately preceding calendar year (e.g. 2016 requests will receive 2015 sharing activities). If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please send your request to customerservice@newgrowthpress.com.
How We Use The Information We Collect
We receive and store your Information on a highly secure server, whether you enter it on our Web site or give it to us in any other way. We use the Information that you provide to help us respond to your requests, handle your orders, customize shopping experiences for you, improve our store, and communicate with you.
We may send you email promotions or mailed promotions if you have requested a catalog, made a customer service inquiry, completed a transaction through our website, or otherwise signed-up for our email newsletter and/or promotions. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please send us a note at customerservice@newgrowthpress.com with "cancel" in the subject line. Note in the body of the text whether you are referring to email promotional materials, mailed promotional materials, or both.
We may share your Information with strategic business partners (such as organizations or authors whose books we publish) but we do not sell or provide your Information to any third party with whom we do not otherwise have a business relationship. We may also transfer Information as part of the sale of all or a part of our assets. We may give Information to agents or independent contractors who perform functions on our behalf including delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive Information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and processing credit card payments. They have access only to Information needed to perform their functions.
How We Store Information
The financial transaction Information you send to us is protected during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. SSL encrypts Information you input, and only New Growth Press Bookstore can decode it. You can be assured you are on a secured web page when the URL or internet address shown on your browser starts with "https:". The "s" means that the page is secure. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off from your account when your order is complete.

We do not knowingly collect or maintain Information from children under the age of 13 and we are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. If a child sends us an email or other electronic request, we may respond to that email or request but the email address of the child will then be deleted and no personal Information will be knowingly collected, stored, or disclosed to a third party. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and become aware that your child has provided us with personal Information, you may contact us at customerservice@newgrowthpress.com to request that we remove such Information.
