1.  Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors.  At this web site B&N does not actively seek to collect information about or to identify any individual visitor as we are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of the personal information of all visitors, with the exception of investigating security breaches or in cooperation with authorities pursuant to a legal matter.  However, B&N may passively collect and track (1) the home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of client computer, files downloaded, search engine used, operating system, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with B&N via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, e-mail, and other online avenues (including, among others, demographic and personal profile data), and (4) aggregate and user-specific information on which pages visitors access.

2.  Use of Personal Data Collected.  By providing B&N with personal identifiable information you have agreed to Opt-In and are in agreement with the terms and conditions set forth in this Privacy Statement on the usage of that information.  Personal data collected by B&N may be used by B&N for many reasons, for example, for editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for fulfillment of a requested transaction or recordkeeping, to contact Site visitors regarding changes to this Privacy Statement or other online materials, or to customize or improve the content and layout of the Site.  Individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to B&N may be (i) added to B&N databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding Site updates, new products and services, and upcoming events, or (ii) provided to third parties who provide products and services which B&N believes that visitors may be interested in purchasing or obtaining.  Personal data may be disclosed or distributed to another party with which B&N enters or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase.  Personal data may be retained, used, disclosed, or distributed in an identifiable manner or on an aggregate basis.

3.  Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties.  Any third party to which B&N shares, rents, sells, or otherwise discloses or distributes personal data is an independent third party over which B&N exercises no control, and, therefore, B&N is not responsible for any third party’s conduct, products, or services, and will not be liable therefor.

4.  Security Measures.  B&N has implemented security features to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personal information.  For example, a separate database server is used in connection with the collection of personal information.  Please be advised, however, that the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from B&N via this Site or e-mail cannot be guaranteed.  Accordingly, B&N is not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet.  For more private communication, visitors to the Site can contact B&N by telephone, facsimile, or regular mail at the numbers and addresses set out in the beginning of this Privacy Statement.

5.  Opt-Out Right.  Except as necessary for B&N to provide the services or products requested by a visitor, the visitor may opt out of having his or her personally identifiable information, which has been voluntarily provided to B&N through an online form, retained by B&N, disclosed by B&N to third parties, or used for any other purpose by B&N, by contacting B&N via postal mail, e-mail, or facsimile at the addresses set out in the beginning of this Privacy Statement.  (This does not apply to collection of the type of Web browser of the visitor to the Site or to information provided or collected that does not meet the above description.)

6.  Access to and Ability to Correct Personal Data.  Upon a visitor’s request via postal mail, e-mail, or facsimile, B&N will provide to the visitor a summary of any personally identifiable information retained by B&N regarding the visitor, which information has been voluntarily provided to B&N through an online form.  A visitor may modify, correct, change or update such personally identifiable information by contacting B&N via postal mail, facsimile, or e-mail at the addresses set out in the beginning of this Privacy Statement.

7.  Right to Change Privacy Statement.  B&N reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time.  Notice of any new or revised Privacy Statement, as well as the location of the new or revised statement, will be posted on the Site for at least 30 days after the change.  It is the obligation of users visiting the Site before the change to learn of changes to the Privacy Statement since their last visit.  Any change to this Privacy Statement shall be effective as to any visitor who has visited the Site before the change was made.
