PRIVACY POLICY

Anansi respects the privacy of our customers, our Anansi 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.

Information You Provide
Anansi understands its customers' need to protect personal and account information. In providing Anansi services to you, personal information may be gathered, tracked or used, to provide you with services.

In most cases, you will be asked to provide personal and account information as appropriate for Anansi to provide service in a secure environment. This may include name, address, business, e-mail, telephone, facsimile, or other information necessary to provide effective services and maintenance and support to your account.

Information We Request
We request and use personal and customer information when you create an account, request or operate an Anansi service, correspond with us, or engage in other activities on our web site.

How We Use the Information We Gather
We use personal and account information in the following ways:
1. To provide you with information about the Anansi web site, newsletters and informative emails.
2. To provide you access to services and information you have requested.
3. To assist us in providing customer support and account maintenance.
4. To assist us in creating better online services to meet future needs.

We Do Not Share Your Personal or Account Information
Please be advised, however, that it could be necessary for Anansi to disclose information to government officials or otherwise as required by our legal obligations.

Limiting the Use of Personal Information
Anansi provides a number of ways for you to 'opt-out' of receiving additional information from us. We may offer you these choices at the time you give us your information and/or at the time you access Anansi online services.

If you would like to change your user preferences and account information, you may contact Anansi and/or access the administrative pages for your account on the Anansi web site.

If you do not wish to continue receiving any online promotional communications from Anansi, such as e-mail or online newsletters, you can opt-out of receiving these communications by accessing the unsubscribe link in any email you receive, by changing your communication preferences on the administrative pages for your account or by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this page.

Security and Quality of Personal Information
We have taken security measures to protect your personal information, including technical and procedural steps to protect your data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction.

Cookies
Anansi 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. You may read more about cookies at www.cookiecentral.com. Anansi may use cookies to personalize your online experience, or to track end user usage of Anansi services for internal purposes. If you do not want Anansi to deploy cookies in your browser, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a web site tries to put a cookie in your browser software. Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use of some of the products and/or services at the Anansi web site.

Web Site Traffic
We also maintain web server logs to track usage of the Anansi 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
Please remember that information you submit in a discussion group, or other forum will be deemed published, public information and is therefore no longer confidential. The communication of personal and account information in such venues means that that information can be collected and used by others, and you should assess that risk before doing so. This includes your disclosure of information concerning your account profile, personal data, or other data obtained by use of the Anansi web sites.

Policy Changes
In the event there is a major change to Anansi's privacy practices, Anansi will provide its users with notice of such changes.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
