The following describes the policies and practices of Rvive Books with regard to the collection and use of personal information from users of http://www.rvive.com, newsletter subscribers, and people with whom we do business through this website. Throughout this page, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” are meant to include Easton Studio Press staff, contractors, and owners.

We have the utmost respect for your privacy and will not trade, sell or exchange your personal information with anyone. We only share your information with third parties we have contracted with to provide you services on our behalf, as described below under “With whom we share the information.”

When it comes to collection and use of personal information, our guiding questions are:

  • “Is this use of the information required in order to fulfill the expectations of the individual?”

In order to subscribe to any of our e-newsletters, comment on our blog or other pages, or download premium content like books, you need to register with our site (this is free). During registration, you must supply us with your email address (which is your unique user name), name, and a password. You may update and change this information at any time on our site.

When browsing the site

When you visit our website, we collect information about your session (e.g. session length, pages visited, files downloaded) based on either the IP address of your computer (if you are not a registered user), or your unique user identifier (if you are a registered user). Our website uses cookies to facilitate this tracking. For an excellent description of cookies and how they work see Wikipedia on cookies.

This information is stored in log files. Log data is used in aggregate to analyze how people use our website.

When you participate in a survey, contest, or special offer

If and when Rvive Books hosts optional surveys, contests, and special offers, each may ask you for additional information about your experience, opinion, or demographics.

How we use the information

Aggregate information

The majority of the information we collect, from website tracking to survey responses, has to do with what your interests are and how you use (or would like to use) our work. We analyze this data in aggregate and in segments and use this information in order to provide better research, content, design, organization, and delivery of our work to you.

Email addresses

If you are a registered user, your email address is your unique identifier, or user name. As a registered user, you are able to comment on blog posts and other pages, download premium content, and subscribe to our newsletter. We will also send you by email occasional invitations to surveys and administrative or other notices regarding the website, its contents, and your registration.

If you are subscribed to our newsletter we will use information you’ve provided to deliver an appropriate product to you.

When you submit questions or comments to a Easton Studio Press staff member by email (via a link on the website, e.g.), we will use your e-mail address to respond directly to you.

Except as explained in this policy, Rvive Books does not send unsolicited e-mail. 

With whom we share the information

We may share aggregate information about our audience (e.g. demographics, interests, website usage) with partners, website users or other interested parties. Please note that this is not personal information, only general summaries of the activities of our audience.

Third party service providers

We will not share individually-identifying personal information about you with third parties without your permission, with the exception of service providers or other organizations we contract with to fulfill services on our behalf (e.g. delivering  email or mail, executing credit card transactions), or under the circumstances described in Compliance with Legal Requirements below.

Compliance with Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information if we are required to by law, or we believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process, (b) protect and defend our rights and property, (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of http://www.rvive.com’s or Rvive Book’s work, or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. As such, if you attempt to pose as someone else, we may disclose information about you or your actions as part of an investigation into any harm done by your actions.

Security

When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information, such as financial information, we redirect visitors to a secure outside vendor’s server (for book sales our distributor, Perseus Books’ ecommerce server). To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online.

Business Transitions

If Rvive Books were to merge with or acquire another entity, or sell a portion of its assets, some information regarding donors, subscribers, registered website users, and/or website visitors may be transferred.

How you can manage the use of your information

If you need this information corrected or updated, please call, email, or write us at the contacts provided above.

We respect those that wish to receive the benefits of registration but otherwise wish to have no contact at all with us.
