Privacy Policy  

Consideration

We understand that your online privacy is very important to you, and we value the protection of your information you provided to us, even if you don’t really care. Under normal circumstances, we shall never give, sell or rent your email address and personal information of yours to any third party for any reason, at any time. This document sets out the commitment of MahShelf to your privacy and to the protection of your personal data (the “Data”) collected and processed through the Website, under the terms and conditions set out in our Term of Use.

Your data collected by us

When you sign-up for an account in MahShelf, we ask you to provide voluntarily your email address, an account username, and an account password. The only Data that is automatically collected by the Website is your IP address. Please note that the Website may implement a cookie (automatic tracking process), whether or not you are a registered user.

What we do with your data

We store your email address to send you notifications and newsletter through email messages. The mandatory Data is required to use the Website’s features (book uploads, comments…). Automatically collected data allows us to compile statistics on the Website such as page views or unique visitors.

Your rights

You can decide not to submit personal information upon registering, but in that case most of the social network features of the Website won’t be accessible for you. While you might decide not to subscribe to our newsletter whenever you want, some special notification will be sent automatically to your email address without any possibility to avoid receiving.

Our responsibility

MahShelf put the security of your Data on the top priorities. We take all appropriate steps to limit the risk that it might be lost, damaged or misused. Please note that our privacy policy only applies to this Website. We do not exercise control over any site that might be linked to from the displayed content put on the Website.

Third parties involvement

Some general statistics of the Website compiled from your Data such as number of users, number of unique visitors, the volume and pattern of traffic to and within the site…will be given by us to some other third-parties. However, in perspective, those kinds of information will not identify any individual user of the Website. Hence, you can be sure that no personal Data of yours will be revealed to any third-party.

Changes of this policy

Please note that this privacy policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of policy changes).

Any suggestions?
