Groundwood Books respects the privacy of our customers, our Meadow Mouse News subscribers, and those who participate in our contests, quizzes and surveys.
Therefore, it is our policy to:
1. Give you choice and consent over how your information is used, and remove names immediately upon request.
2. Not sell, rent, or loan our subscriber or customer lists to third parties.
3. Send our newsletter and news updates only to those who request them. (You may immediately unsubscribe through convenient unsubscribe links in every e-mailing.)
4. Use cookies in a responsible manner to help our visitors. We use cookies to identify a shopper with his or her cart during a shopping session, to make it easier to order a second time, and to allow subscribers to store passwords if they desire. We do NOT collect or use information from cookies to develop a profile about our visitors or shoppers. (See more on cookies below.)
5. Store subscriber and password files with personal information in a secure manner. We store such files in areas not accessible to web browsers, behind password protection, or off-line.

Cookies
Groundwood Books may use cookies from time to time. A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual's computer that allows us to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in our databases.

Web Site Traffic
We also maintain web server logs to track usage of the Groundwood Books web site. We may track domain names, IP addresses, email addresses and browser types from people who visit our web site. Such basic Internet traffic statistics are not correlated with any personal information.
Other Privacy Management Practices
