Baker & Taylor,
LLC ("Baker & Taylor") respects your right to the privacy of the
personally identifiable information you provide us on our website.
To that end, unless you agree otherwise, or we state otherwise in
this policy or at the time information is collected, any personally
identifying information you provide to Baker & Taylor will not
be revealed to anyone outside of Baker & Taylor affiliated
companies. The following policy is intended to explain how your
personal information will be treated. This policy may change from
time to time, so please check back periodically.
This Privacy Policy should be read in
conjunction with the Terms of Use of this
website.
When an
individual visits Baker & Taylor's websites, our servers collect
basic technical information, including, for example, the visitor's
domain name, referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last
URL visited prior to clicking through to Baker & Taylor's
websites) and browser and platform type. This is a common practice
on the Internet. We also count, track and aggregate the visitor's
activity into our analysis of general traffic flows on our websites.
We may merge information about visitors and visits into group data,
which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our
advertisers, but we will not disclose your individual identity or
personally identifiable information without your permission.
1. Information

We collect several types of information from
and about users of our website, which may include information

Third-party ad servers and analytics
providers
Baker
& Taylor works with third party network advertisers, ad
agencies, analytics service providers and other vendors to serve
third party advertisements on and through the website, to provide us
with information regarding traffic on the website, including the
pages viewed and the actions users take when visiting the website;
to serve our advertisements on other websites, within mobile Apps,
and elsewhere online; and to provide us with information regarding
the use of the website and the effectiveness of our advertisements.
For example, if you click one of our advertisements, our service
provider(s) may be able to tell us the advertisement you clicked on
and where you were viewing the advertisement; likewise, if you click
on an ad you see on our website, our service provider(s) may be able
to tell which page you were visiting on our website and pass that
information to the advertiser. The advertisements you see may be
served by one or more third parties, who may use information about
your activities on the website, and other websites and services, to
provide you targeted advertising based upon your
interests.
These
third-party service providers may set and access their own tracking
technologies on your device (including cookies and web beacons) and
may otherwise collect or have access to information about you
including personal data. These third parties may collect information
about you across sites and over time. Cookies and web beacons,
including those set by third-party network advertisers, may be used
to, among other things, serve you targeted advertisements, prevent
you from seeing the same advertisements too many times and to
conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements
to you.
While we may use
a variety of service providers to perform advertising services, some
of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative
("NAI") or the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory
Program for Online Behavioral Advertising.
You may want to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides information regarding
targeted advertising and the "opt-out" procedures of NAI members.
You may also want to visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, which

"opt-out" by participating companies in the DAA Self-Regulatory
Program. You may also opt out of tracking and receiving targeted
advertisements on your mobile device by some mobile advertising
companies and other similar entities by downloading the App Choices
app at www.aboutads.info/appchoices. Please note opting out through
these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising,
you will continue to receive generic ads while visiting the website
and elsewhere online.

provided by third parties to help us evaluate your use of the
website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators
and providing other services relating to website activity and
internet usage. The information generated by the analytics service

Your

The CCPA, California Civil Code Sections

in a 12-month period, free of charge the categories and/or specific

and
(2) delete personal

Baker & Taylor does not discriminate

with California residents' rights under that statute.
To request access to your personal information or request that we delete your personal information, you may contact us through any of the following methods:

that we can verify your request. If you have a
password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity
through our existing practices for your account.
You may also authorize an agent to submit a
request on your behalf, so long as you provide the authorized agent
written permission to request on your behalf, and your authorized
agent additionally is able to verify their identity with us.
Please have your authorized agent follow the instructions
above to make a request, and additionally mail your written
declaration authorizing the agent to act on your behalf, certified
by a California notary public, to: Privacy team, 2810 Coliseum

provide you with a prominent notice of such changes before they take
