Privacy Policy - Loving2Read

Loving2Read is owned and operated by Loving2Learn LLC. This Privacy Policy & Terms of Service were updated and went into effect February 1, 2020. Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.

Your privacy is important to us. At Loving2Read, we have a few fundamental principles:

We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information on your website is shared publicly (or kept private), indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
We help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal information.
We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

We are the team behind Loving2Read, a library of children's books to give parents a resource for their children to read. We believe it is important to promote literacy around the globe with high quality, low cost tools.

This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use:

Our main website https://loving2read.com

Throughout this Privacy Policy we'll refer to our websites, mobile applications, and other products and services collectively as "Services."

Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.

We collect information in two ways: if and when you provide information to us, and automatically through operating our Services.

Information You Provide to Us

Basic Account Information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require individuals who sign up for a Loving2Read account to provide an email address along with a username or name — and that's it.

Transaction and Billing Information: If you buy something from us — a subscription or a course — you will provide additional personal and payment information that is required to process the transaction and your payment.

Content Information: Depending on the Services you use, you may also provide us with information about you in draft and published content (such as keeping track of books read).

Communications with Us: You may also provide us information when you respond to surveys or send us an email about support, questions, or just to get in touch.

Information We Collect Automatically

Log Information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.

Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our Services — for example, how often calculators and our tools are used, to help with our analytics and provide a better experience.

How We Use Information

To provide our Services — for example, the ability to use our tools and content.
To further develop and improve our Services by adding new features.
To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact with our Services.
To measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and better understand user retention and attrition.
To monitor and prevent problems with our Services, protect security, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of Loving2Read and others.
To communicate with you about offers and promotions (which you can unsubscribe from at any time).
To personalize your experience using our Services.

Sharing Information

We do not sell our users' private personal information.

We share information about you only in the limited circumstances below and with appropriate safeguards:

Employees and Independent Contractors — who need to know to help us provide our Services.
Third Party Vendors — payment providers, email delivery services, analytics providers, etc.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements — in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
To Protect Rights, Property, and Others — when reasonably necessary.
Business Transfers — in connection with a merger, sale, or acquisition.
With Your Consent — when you direct us to share.

How Long We Keep Information

We generally discard information about you when we no longer need it for the purposes above and we are not legally required to keep it.

Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction.

Your Choices

Limit the information you provide. You can continue to use the site anonymously.
Opt out of marketing communications. Unsubscribe at any time.
Set your browser to reject cookies. Certain features may not function properly without cookies.
Close your account. We may continue to retain your information as described above.

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you're located in countries that fall under GDPR:

Request access to your personal data.
Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
Object to our use and processing of your personal data.
Request that we limit our use and processing of your personal data.
Request portability of your personal data.
