BOOKSCENTRALSTORE.COM and related services (the “Services”), how we use that information, and to whom we disclose it.

Personal data that is no longer required will be destroyed, erased or made anonymous, although copies of deleted information may continue to exist on backup media. Information that we may collect includes:
User Submitted Information
We collect certain personal data at the time users register to create an account or update their account details including a user’s name, e-mail address, and other contact information. We also collect personal data that users submit through their use of the Services, including when they submit contact and other information, they have collected from their email subscribers and when they create and send email campaigns.
Usage Data
We collect certain non-identifying information about the usage of the Services, including information
about how users are using the Services and the characteristics of those users. This information is
anonymized and is not used by us to identify you as an individual. Account Deletion Requests
At any time, you can request to have your account data deleted by contacting us. Upon receiving the
request, we will send you an email to confirm this request. After successful confirmation, your account will be marked for deletion in 30 days.

Data Retention Policy
An account can be permanently deleted by either a deletion request or from account inactivity. We

Technical and Device Information
We collect certain non-identifying information related to a user’s access to the Services, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the user’s computer, the date and time the user accessed the Services and the operating system that the user is using.

We may, however, review server logs and anonymous traffic for system administration and security purposes, for example, to detect intrusions into our network, for planning and improving web services, and to monitor and compile statistics about bookscentralstore.com usage.
