Privacy Policy

Part I – Information Anchorbooks Collects and Controls
We prioritize collecting only the necessary information from our users. We gather information that you actively provide us when you create an account, register for an event, seek customer support, or make a purchase. We store your name and contact details securely; however, we do not store credit card numbers unless you explicitly permit us to do so within our secured payment gateways.

When you visit our websites or utilize our software, certain basic information is automatically logged, such as how you arrived at our site, your navigation within it, and the features and settings you use. This data assists us in enhancing our websites, and services, and developing new products.

On occasion, we may receive information indirectly. For instance, if you inquire about our products through one of our referral programs or reselling partners, or if you sign in to our products using an authentication services provider like LinkedIn or Google, they may share your contact information with us. We utilize this information solely to fulfill your specific request. Furthermore, if you engage with our brand on social media platforms (such as liking, commenting, retweeting, mentioning, or following us), we may have access to your interactions and profile information. Even if you later remove such information from the social media site, we will retain it.
What We Do with Your Information at Anchorbooks
We utilize the information you provide to deliver the requested services, manage and maintain your accounts, and monitor any unauthorized activities. Additionally, we use your information to communicate with you regarding the products you currently use, address your customer support inquiries, inform you about new products that may interest you, seek feedback from you, and provide updates on our policies. We analyze the data we collect to understand user requirements better and enhance our websites and services.

We ensure that we have a legal basis for collecting and processing your information. In most cases, we rely on your consent or the necessity of the information to provide the requested service. When neither of these applies, we will demonstrate that we have another lawful basis, such as our legitimate business interests.

You have the option to decline certain uses of your information either by not providing it initially or by opting out at a later stage. It is also possible to disable cookies in your browser settings, but please note that this may affect the functionality of certain website features. At Anchorbooks, we fully disable non-essential and intrusive third-party cookies across all our websites and products.

We limit access to your personal information to our employees and contractors who genuinely require it for their designated tasks. If we share your information with other parties, such as developers, service providers, domain registrars, or reselling partners, they must have appropriate security measures in place and a valid reason for utilizing your information, typically for the purpose of serving you.

You are entitled to certain rights as a data subject, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and the right to object and file complaints.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Once we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will either delete, anonymize, or isolate it as appropriate.
