This Privacy Policy covers what information we collect from you when you visit MyNextDownload.com. By using the MyNextDownload.com website, you agree with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. The information we collect

When you use this website, we receive and collect certain information. The information that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you visit MyNextDownload.com.

    * Automatically Collected Information: Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit the MyNextDownload.com. We receive and collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. We use this information to monitor the usage of our site. Also, when we send e-mails to you, we may be able to identify information about your e-mail address, such as whether you can read graphic-rich HTML emails. All of the information we capture provides us with the ability to enhance our customers' search and shopping experiences and to determine aggregate information about our user.
      
    * Information Collected via Cookies: We use cookies to enhance the browsing and shopping experience on our website. 'Cookies' are small files or records which we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on our website. The cookies transmit this information back to the computers at MyNextDownload.com. These computers are authorized to read such information and the information captured makes it possible for us (i) to speed navigation, keep track of items in your shopping cart, and provide you with custom tailored content; (ii) to remember information you gave us so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit the website; (iii) to monitor the effectiveness of certain marketing e-mail campaigns; and (iv) to monitor total number of visitors and the number of pages viewed.

      Most people do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit the website. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie placement. If you refuse cookies, you will not be able to open MyNextDownload.com shopping cart and therefore will not be able to complete an order with us online. Also, by not using cookies, your overall Internet browsing experience will be affected.

    * Information Collected Using Pixel Tags: To help us understand the effectiveness of certain of our e-mail marketing efforts, MyNextDownload.com may use 'message format' and 'message open' sensing technologies. Both technologies require the use of pixel tags. The 'message format' sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have enabled your e-mail program to receive HTML e-mails; if so, this information is then associated with your e-mail address so that subsequent messages can be sent to you in HTML format. The 'message open' sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have opened our e-mail. We can only detect this if you have enabled your e-mail program to receive HTML e-mails.
      
    * Information You Actively Submit to MyNextDownload.com: For most of the browsing services we provide, we neither require nor collect 'Personal Customer Information' -- your name, e-mail address, billing address, shipping address(es), phone number and credit card information. You can browse the MyNextDownload.com website and take as much time as you want to review our books and other products without having to submit any Personal Information. Even when you use our shopping cart as you browse, there is no need to submit Personal Customer Information.

9. Security Policy

1. Protecting your information

The Personal Customer Information you provide -- including your credit card information -- to create and access an account with us and to make purchases from us (whether or not you use an account) is secured using industry standard e-commerce security technology such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. We use this SSL technology to prevent such information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted data goes to a secure site where your information is stored on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites.

2. Unique E-mail, Password & Security Answer for MyNextDownload.com Account

When you create a MyNextDownload.com account, we secure your Personal Customer Information in the following manner:

    We cross check an e-mail address with the submitted password to validate access to any MyNextDownload.com customer account. We do not allow any e-mail address to access more than one MyNextDownload.com account. When a new MyNextDownload.com account is created, we require you to submit an e-mail address that is not associated with an existing MyNextDownload.com account. We request you to select a security question and a security answer which you can use to access your account when you forget your password.

We encourage you to use a password and a security answer that is not easily determinable. Keep your password and answer secure; do not share it with anyone. The password and security answer are the 'keys' to your account; anyone who gets these 'keys' can, along with your e-mail address, gain access to your account.

If you forget your password, to gain access to your account you will need to know your security answer and have access to your e-mail account. On the Account Sign-In Page, click on the Forgot your password? Link and then type in the e-mail address of the account you would like to open. A message will be sent to your e-mail address with instructions on how to access your account and change your password.

3. Placing an Order without a MyNextDownload.com Account

If you place an order at MyNextDownload.com without an account, certain order detail information will be accessible with the use of your e-mail address and order number. Although specific item details are masked, viewable information includes billing address, shipping address, payment type and order. If you don’t wish to have such information displayed with the use of your e-mail address and order number, please place your order using a MyNextDownload.com account which provides the added security level of password-protected access to such information.

4. Remember to sign out

To further prevent unauthorized access to your account, remember that, after you sign in, you should sign out once you have (i) completed your transaction, (ii) completed managing your account (iii) decided to step away from your computer. Anyone who accesses your computer after you have signed in but before you have either signed out or your session has timed-out can access your account.
