Personal Information
Unison Books collects personal information in several ways when you place an order or register for a service offered by Unison Books. If an order is placed with us, we need to hold personal information including your name, email address, phone numbers, home address, shipping and credit/debit card billing address(es) so that we can process and fulfill your order. We only save credit/debit card information for those customers that have registered on the site. If you have not registered on the site, only the last 4 digits of your credit card will be saved for verification. Saved card details will never be shared with third parties and will only be used to process your order, using our payment partner’s systems. Additionally, we may also obtain information as a result of authentication or identity checks. Sometimes we may ask for your telephone number. This number may be given to our postman/woman for delivery services. These details allow us to process your order and to let you know the status of your order.

Safeguarding Your Personally Identifiable Information
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as a part of a registration scheme or a security procedure to enable you to access certain parts of the site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. In particular, you should not share your password with anyone who is not of legal age to enter into contracts and purchase goods in the country or other territory in which you are located or are accessing the site, or to anyone in a country or other territory where use of the site is not permitted. We will only collect personally identifiable information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve you in view of our legitimate business purposes as set out above, and we will use and maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the information you have provided us with. When you place an order or access your account information, we use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, which encrypts your information before it is sent to us to protect it from unauthorized use. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that third party business partners to whom we transfer any data will provide sufficient protection of that personal information. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of the data you transmit to the site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use reasonable efforts to try to prevent unauthorized access. In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you right away.
