Privacy Policy

Updated as of Aug 06, 2015
This privacy policy explains how TheClassBooks handles personal information and other data we obtain from you anytime you interact with TheClassBooks, such as when you browse on our website (TheClassBooks.com) or create a user profile, or when you use our service to upload or download content.
Personal information means data which identifies an individual person, like name or email address. If we store personal information with data that is non-personal, we will consider the combination as personally identifiable information. If we remove all personal information from a set of data, then the remaining data is non-personal. Data from merchant subscribers, like a business email address, is non-personal information.
