Non-Personal Information, Cookies and Web Beacons: When you visit the Website or use our Service, we may passively track non-personal information on your computer and Internet connection, such as the IP address of your computer and/or Internet service provider, the date and time you access the Website, the Internet address of websites from which you link to our Website, the computer technology you are using and your movements and preferences on our Website (“Non-Personal Information”). We also contract with several online partners to help manage, monitor and optimize our Website and the Services and to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising, communications and how visitors use the Website. To do this, we may use web beacons and “cookies,” or small data files stored on your computer's hard drive, to collect such information. In some instances, we also use web beacons and cookies to collect information in connection with future visits, to recognize you as a previous user, to know when you are interacting with our platform application or to otherwise track your activity on our Website. If you follow a link to the site from an affiliate or promotion, we store information about your arrival from that affiliate or promotion in a session cookie. However, our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. Most web browsers automatically default to accept cookies. If you don't want to accept cookies, you can modify your Internet browser's settings, however, doing so may impact your ability to fully utilize our Website.

The Way We Use Your Information

When you place an order, we use your personally identifiable information to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of its status. From time to time, we may also refer to such personally identifiable information in an effort to better tailor our Services to your needs. If you subscribe to any of our email marketing messages, we will use your personal information to send you information and to target the appropriate content to better match your interest. You will always have the option to unsubscribe by sending an email to support@bookrenter.com, by logging into your account - if you've created one - and updating your email subscription preferences, or by following the link at the bottom of each email marketing message we send you.

From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). If we use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests, that company is prohibited from using our users' personally identifiable information for their promotional purpose. If you talk to us via email at support@bookrenter.com, or via Live Chat, we may post your comments on our Website or on promotional materials. We may also use your information for press related matters. If you wish we not use any part of your information or communication on our Website or promotional materials, please notify us of your preference by emailing us at support@bookrenter.com.

We use the information you provide about someone else only to ship and confirm the delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete that order. When Customer Service receives questions over email, they use these email addresses only to reply to customers. Such addresses are not used for any other purposes and are not shared with any third parties for their promotional parties.

We use Non-Personal Information to track the use of the Website and the Services and for other internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving the Services and the Website.

Finally, we never use or share the personal information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without providing you an opportunity to opt out.

Your browser should display a padlock or key icon in the margin of your web browser when a secure connection is made.

In some browsers, the URL bar will flash green when the secure connection is made.
