Cookies

Transparent Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs) We employ a software technology called transparent gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), in conjunction with cookies to help us better manage affiliate referrals. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, transparent gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by transparent gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information.

If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may update it by logging in to your account or by emailng Customer Support at admin@Goodwife.com or by contacting us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below.

Choice/Opt Out

We provide you the opportunity to "opt-out" of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you create an account but do not wish to receive any additional marketing/promotional material from us, you can indicate your preference on our registration form. Customers may not opt-out of purchase receipts and confirmation emails as these are obligatory.

If you sign up for our email alerts, notifying you of new book releases, and you no longer wish to receive our alerts and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at admin@Goodwife.com.

You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party. Data Security
