Privacy Policy

Goose Lane Editions respects the privacy of our customers and understand that you care how your information is used and shared. We appreciate your trust that we'll use it carefully and sensibly.

It’s therefore our policy to:

  • Give you choice and ask your consent over how your information is used and remove your name from our list should you ask us to do so.
  • Not to sell, rent, or loan our customer list to third parties.
  • Use cookies in a reasonable manner. We use cookies to identify a customer with his or her shopping cart during a shopping session, to make it easier to order a second time, and to allow a customer to store passwords should they choose to do so. We do not collect or use information from cookies to develop a profile about our visitors or customers. (See more about cookies below.)
  • Store customer files with personal information in a secure manner. We store such files in areas not accessible to web browsers, protected by passwords, or off-line.

1) What personal information about customers does gooselane.com gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at gooselane.com. Here are the types of information that we gather:

  • Information you provide: We receive and store any information you enter on our web site or give us in any other way. You may choose not to provide certain information, but you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our web site, and communicating with you.
  • Automatic information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses gooselane.com. Since we also maintain web server logs to track usage of our web site, we may track domain names, IP addresses, e-mail addresses, and browser types from people who visit our web site. Such basic Internet traffic statistics are not correlated with any personal information.
  • E-mail communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from us if your computer supports such capabilities.
  • Discussion group participation: Information that you submit in a discussion group will be deemed to be published, public information and is therefore no longer confidential. Should you communicate personal and account information in such venues, it may be used by others and you should assess the risk before doing so. This includes your disclosure of information concerning your account profile, personal data, or other data obtained by use of gooselane.com.

2) What about cookies?

  • Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser, to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as personalized greetings and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
  • The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the web site of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of the website’s essential features, we recommend you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to checkout, or use any the products of services of Goose Lane Editions that require you to sign in.

3) Does Gooselane.com share the information it receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we're not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, processing credit card payments, and so on. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.
  • Government Officials: It may be necessary, from time to time, for us to disclose information to government officials or otherwise as required by law.

4) How secure is information about me?

  • We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you enter.
  • We reveal only the last four (4) digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
  • It's important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and your computer. Be sure to sign off when you've finished using a shared computer.

5) What information can I access?

gooselane.com gives you access to a range of information about your account and your interactions with gooselane.com for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. This list will change as the website evolves.

6) What choices do I have?

  • You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of some of our services.
  • You can add or update certain information on pages such as those listed in the "Which information can I access?" section, above. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
  • The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the web site of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of the website’s essential features, we recommend you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to checkout, or use any the products of services of Goose Lane Editions that require you to sign in.

7) Affiliate programs

Goose Lane Editions works with third-party retailers for the sale of our ebooks and books. Some of these third-party sites may be co-branded with a Goose Lane Editions logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by Goose Lane Editions. These websites may also carry advertisements from other companies. Although we choose our business partners and advertisers carefully, Goose Lane Editions is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to our sites or for the privacy practices of third parties that advertise on our websites. Once you've left gooselane.com via such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party to determine how they will handle any personal identifiable information they collect from you.

gooselane.com may also be linked to sites operated by companies with which Goose Lane Editions is affiliated. Visitors to those affiliated sites should refer to the separate privacy policies and practices of these affiliates, which may differ in some respects from this Privacy Policy.

  • Goose Lane Editions is a participant in the Amazon.com.ca, Inc. Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.ca.
  • Goose Lane Editions is a participant in the Rakuten Linkshare Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Kobo.com.
  • Goose Lane Editions is a participant in Apple’s Affiliate Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to www.apple.com/ca/ibooks/.

8) Conditions of use, notices, and revisions

If you choose to visit gooselane.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Customer Agreement, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the laws of the province of New Brunswick and the government of Canada. If you have any concern about privacy at gooselane.com, please contact us, and we'll try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and our Customer Agreement will also change. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
