Privacy

You have a right to keep your email address and other information private. The personal information you submit to Publisher Direct will not be shared, sold, or disclosed to third parties in any form, for any purposes, at any time. 

Publisher Direct will not disclose your sales history to third parties for any purposes, at any time. The items you purchase will not be shared with others, period, online or off. 

If you'd like to receive Publisher Direct newsletter, please join our list of informed subscribers. If, however, you place an order at our web site but would prefer not to receive our newsletter, you will receive only email directly related to your orders such as a confirmation and receipt, etc. 

This is what is known as an opt-in policy concerning commercial email. Unfortunately, a more common practice today is the opt-out policy, where email is sent unsolicited to customers, who are then forced to respond saying they don't want the junk email sent to them and they they must reply that they want to opt out of the list. We are hoping more online retailers will use the opt-in method and it will become the norm rather than the exception for commercial businesses on the internet. 

When you purchase a book from Publisher Direct, you are expressing your support for one of the Internet's opt-in policy providers and a strong statement supporting the  fight against spam. 

By keeping all your information confidential, we show our appreciation for your support and your shopping at Publisher Direct! 

Security 

Publisher Direct has built a outstanding reputation since January of 2001. We believe you should feel just as safe ordering from us at your computer as you would in a brick and mortar store. We'll stake our reputation on it. 

With our secure server option, all of your personal information will be encrypted before it is transmitted over the Internet. (Note the change from http:// to https:// in the URL as you enter our security zone.) This means that data cannot be read as it travels through the internet to our system. Our secure server, and fraud detection services provided by Authorize.net, provides the highest level of security available. And once we receive your encrypted personal information, we then store it on a machine that is not accessible from the internet. 

We're confident that our security system is the best in the business, and you should be, too. That's why we guarantee that every transaction you make at Publisher Direct will be 100% safe. If unauthorized charges are made to your card as a result of shopping at Publisher Direct upon notification and verification we will credit back the charges. 

In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must first notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures. Under US Federal Law, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any or all of the maximum $50 amount, Publisher Direct will cover the charge (assuming that the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at Publisher Direct while using our secure server).
