Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Pandamian collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Pandamian’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Pandamian’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Pandamian may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Pandamian also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Pandamian.com books. Pandamian only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Pandamian’s websites choose to interact with Pandamian in ways that require Pandamian to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Pandamian gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a book account at Pandamian to provide a username and email address. We collect information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Pandamian. Pandamian does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Pandamian may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Pandamian may monitor the most popular books on the site. Pandamian may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Pandamian does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Pandamian discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Pandamian’s behalf or to provide services available at Pandamian’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Pandamian’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Pandamian will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Pandamian discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Pandamian believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Pandamian, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Pandamian website and have supplied your email address, Pandamian may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Pandamian and our products. We primarily use our blog or social network platforms to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Pandamian takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies

Business Transfers
If Pandamian, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Pandamian goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Pandamian may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Pandamian may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Pandamian’s sole discretion. Pandamian encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
