Harbor Glow Publishing is committed to protecting your privacy and security. Our site is controlled from offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that the information and products on this or any of our sites are available or appropriate for use in other locations. Persons who choose to access this site from other locations are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and when applicable.
Linked Sites
Our site contains links to other websites that may offer services and products that our viewers might find useful. These sites may request information. In such instances, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing them with your personal information.
Collecting Your Information
Harbor Glow Publishing collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the programs, activities, and products you select. As a visitor to our site, you can participate in many activities without providing any personal information. In other cases, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form.
In all cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will also tell you how we will use your information or if we share it with another party. Except as otherwise stated in this policy, we will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user to any third party without having received your permission.
If you supply us with your contact information you may receive periodic e-mails, calls, or mailings from us with information on new products and services, important announcements and issues, or upcoming events. If you wish to be removed from any postal, phone, email, or other lists, please let us know. You can write to us or submit a form on my contact page. We will be sure your name is removed from the appropriate lists immediately.
When you use our sites, our authorized technology services provider may also collect certain technical and routing information from you to facilitate your use of the site and its services. We use this information to understand and measure traffic patterns on the site so that we know which areas of our sites are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our sites for our viewers. We may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes. This data may be tracked by using “cookies” during your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables us to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. For some web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.
Exceptions to Privacy Policy
While we are committed to keeping your information private and secure, there are the following exceptions: we will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a subpoena, statute, search warrant, or court order. We will also release specific information if there is an attempted breach of the security of the sites, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a business consolidation or merger, the sale of related assets, or other fundamental business change. The information you enter when making a purchase or an online donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, and your credit card company to authorize credit card payments. Such information may also be shared with necessary third parties solely for the purpose of carrying out the transactions. Please note that if you give out personal information online through a discussion board or posting site, that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in those forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.
Miscellaneous
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon. You agree that any action that arises out of or relates to these terms will be subject to mediation in the State of Oregon. If any of these terms of use are found to be void, unlawful, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be considered severable from the remaining terms of use, and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. These terms may be changed only by our posting modifications to these terms of use on our sites.
Personal Information that We Collect when Purchasing Products
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from the site.
When you make a purchase, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the website, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to us, and information about how you interact with the purchase of the product. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
– Communicate with you;
– Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
– When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site — you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
