Privacy Policy
Book Adventure and Sylvan Learning are committed to protecting your privacy while you visit Book Adventure.
PERSONAL INFORMATION Updated 7/25/2006
Some personal information is gathered when you register with Book Adventure. During registration, you are asked to enter your name, e-mail address, and other personal information.
This data is used to customize the site for you. This information is also used to keep you informed of special offers from the Book Adventure sponsors
if you have indicated in your account information that you would like to receive them.
If you have indicated in your account information that you would like to be informed of special offers from Book Adventure sponsors,
any information collected is used only by Sylvan Learning, Educate Inc. and its affiliate companies and our Sylvan Learning Center franchises to contact consumers for marketing and
operational purposes. Persons who supply us with their telephone numbers or e-mail addresses on-line and opt in to receive special offers from Book Adventure sponsors, may receive
telephone or e-mail contact from us or from our Sylvan Learning Center franchises with information regarding special promotions, new products and services or upcoming events. Sylvan
Learning, Educate Inc. and its affiliate companies will not release, sell, rent or trade the personal information of any of our customers to any third party.
No identifying information is collected from your children. Gender and State of residence are requested, as optional fields, so that
we understand our audience better when we look for new prizes. You can change your account information at any time.
OTHER LINKS
Please be aware that web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you when you arrive on their sites. The information practices of those
web sites linked to Book Adventure are not covered by this privacy statement.
What are my choices regarding collection and use of my information?
If you indicated upon registration that you are interested in receiving special offers or information from Book Adventure sponsors, you may receive communication regarding products
and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only Book Adventure sponsors (or agents working on behalf of Book Adventure and under confidentiality agreements) will contact
you. If you do not want to receive such mailings you can choose not to opt in at the time of registration or you can easily edit your account information and indicate a change of preference
at any time.
What security precautions are in place to protect the misuse of my information?
Your Book Adventure account information is password-protected, so that you, and only you, have access to this personal information. You may edit your account information at any time
by logging in with your Book Adventure User Name and password.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Also remember to sign out of Book Adventure and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to
ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or
Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Book Adventure cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we
make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
SECURITY POLICY
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with you is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your
information from your PC to our servers.
What about children's privacy?
Naturally, the safety of children is very important to us. Book Adventure has been developed in compliance with both the Children's On-Line Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and the Children's
Advisory Review Unit (CARU) of the Better Business Bureau. Book Adventure also adheres to the following policies for child users:
- Book Adventure encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the interactive activities offered on the site.
- When completing a registration form, Book Adventure only asks for users' first names and first initials of their last names.
- Book Adventure does not provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to any third party, for any purpose whatsoever, unless otherwise disclosed during collection.
- Although child users are allowed to participate in contests, if such a guest wins, notification and prizes requiring supervisor approval are sent to the parents or guardians identified
in the initial registration process.
- No information collected from child users is used to market to those child users.
- Guests' e-mail addresses are never posted on the Book Adventure web site.
