sends us certain Internet-related information, such as
the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you’re
using and your originating domain.
We also collect certain information about our website
visitors, such as how many users visited our site, the
average time spent on the site, the pages viewed, and
referring websites. By collecting this information, we
learn how to best tailor our website to our visitors.
While we generally examine such information only in the

Information We
Share
We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal
information about our website visitors, except as described
here. We may share the information you provide with companies
that are related to St. Martin’s through common
ownership. We also share information provided by our website
visitors with service providers we have retained to perform
services on our behalf. In addition, we may share information
about you with non-affiliated third parties whose products
or services may be of interest to you. These third parties
may contact you about their products and services. We
will not share your information with these third parties
for their own marketing purposes if you request that we
not do so. We may, however, engage in joint marketing
activities with selected third parties and may share personal
information about our website visitors with them. In addition,
we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required
to do so by law, (ii) in response to legal process, (iii)
to law enforcement authorities or other government officials,
or (iv) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection
with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have
about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion
of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer
occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure
that the transferee uses personal information you have
provided through this website in a manner that is consistent
with this Privacy Notice.

We provide links to other websites for your convenience

Your Choices
We give you the option of requesting that we not share
personal information about you with third parties that
are unrelated by common ownership with St. Martin’s
for marketing use. Click

information with unrelated third parties for their own
marketing use.
We also give you the option of requesting that we not
share your information with companies related to St. Martin’s
by common ownership for marketing use. However, PLEASE
NOTE that, because of the integrated nature of St. Martin’s
and some of these companies, if you opt out of sharing
with them, you will also automatically be opted out of
marketing use by St. Martin’s Press. That means
that you will not receive our e-newsletter or information
from us about books, promotions and services. Click
here to send us an e-mail with your name and e-mail
address(es), if you do not want us to share your information
with related companies for marketing use (or use the information
for marketing purposes ourselves). (Keep in mind, however,
that some of our related companies may have independently
obtained your information, in which case you may continue
to receive communications from those companies, unless
you opt out directly with them.)
Please be aware that we are able to effectuate an opt-out
only for a specific e-mail address. So, if you have more
than one e-mail address or if you have changed your email
address, your opt out request may not be effectuated properly.
If you believe you have opted out, but continue to receive
e-mails from us, please contact us by one of the means
listed under “How to Contact Us”, below, and
we will endeavor to resolve the issue.
