Privacy Policy
LINK POLICY
Goofy Foot Press does not accept money or exchanges from the links or products that are listed on this site. If we recommend another site or a product, it is because we think it is worthy of attention, and not because there's money to be made from selling you on something you probably don't need.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of any sites that we include links to. They might not be as serious about protecting your privacy as we are.
WE DON'T COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU UNLESS YOU ORDER A BOOK FROM US
Goofy Foot Press does not collect or maintain any information about your individual use our website. We sometimes analyze our web log statistics as a whole, but we do not track your browsing as an individual, and we do not share or offer this information to other companies.
We do not maintain a list of current and potential customers. If you order a book from us, it is the only time you will hear from us. Once you receive the product you have ordered from us, it is the last time you will hear from us unless you initiate contact.
If you do order a product, we maintain tracking information to confirm that the product has been delivered as promised. But that's it.
Goofy Foot Press never rents or exchanges names, mailing addresses, email addresses, or telephone numbers with other companies. We do no "direct telemarketing" or indirect telemarketing, and we will never offer your name and phone number to any company that does.
We do not maintain any online accounts, so if you order from us, you need to enter your credit card and mailing information each time.
Since we collect no information on you or about you, you don't need to worry that your information will ever be transferred or sold to another company, even if Goofy Foot Press were to be sold to another company.
In short, we respect your privacy in the same way we would want you to respect ours.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are what the Cookie Monster craves all of the time. They are also bits of information your web browser stores on your computer to help a server communicate with you and track information about you. The only time we use cookies is if you place an order for a book from our website. That and after you've clicked on the main home "what's new" page. The reason for the "what's new" cookie is so the zipper animation won't keep going off each time you go back to the "what's new" page, which could get annoying and possibly trigger a brain seizure if you do it after consuming untold amounts of illegal drugs. Otherwise, we do not use cookies, nor would we want to.
(Cookies are especially important to websites that make money when you click on one of their links; we don't do that.)
We do occasionally analyze what part of our website people first click on (e.g. looking up the definition of a word, finding an idea for a great date) and we also occasionally look at how many pages of the site that visitors visit. However, we can do this without collecting any personal information about you.
SECURITY WHILE ORDERING
To help protect the security of the information you give us when you order a book from our website, Goofy Foot Press uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts your information so that no one other than Goofy Foot Press will be able to decode it. SSL establishes a secure connection between your computer and ours, and that connection remains secure until you complete or cancel an order.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM GOOFY FOOT PRESS
Since Goofy Foot Press does not actively gather information about you, the only reason we would ever contact you is if you ordered a book from us, or if you sent us a comment or question.
If you place an order for a book from our website, you will usually receive a confirmation email. We will not contact you further unless it is to send you tracking information for your shipment, or if we have a question about your order.
ONLINE SURVEYS
Goofy Foot press often runs online surveys asking you questions about things you probably don't tell a lot of people about. These surveys are always optional, and we intentionally block your email address so the survey is anonymous. The only way we know the identity of the sender is if you elect to include your email address. In that case, we will sometimes contact you to thank you and/or to ask further questions, or to comment on something you have said.
As is stated at the start of the online surveys, anything you write becomes the property of Goofy Foot Press. It may someday be used in a book or on the website. If you do include your email address or obvious identifying data, Goofy Foot Press will do its best to disguise your identity and to prevent others from being able to recognize or contact you.
FRAMED SITES
Goofy Foot Press would never frame you nor do we do any framing.
However, some of the information that originates on this sight might be distributed through other sites on the Internet. These other sites are called "framed sites." Although you may see "Goofy Foot Press" or the author of The Guide's name attached to articles that are used on these other sites, our privacy policy does not reach beyond this site and we can't promise you squat about what other sites might do with your surfing activity or personal information. Your activity and information on a framed site is governed, gathered and controlled by the privacy statement on the URL /domain address you're visiting. Goofy Foot Press does not request or receive user information back from these framed sites. Quite frankly, we have better things to do.
