Sometimes we do need personally identifiable information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. This statement of privacy also explains situations in which we may collect anonymous user information. Please read the complete MyFlipBooks.com Privacy Policy:

Why we collect personally identifiable information
MyFlipBooks.com collects and uses your personally identifiable information to give you better customer service and to provide you with convenient access to our products and services. We also use your personally identifiable information to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers, and other information we think you’d like to hear about. We may also use your personally identifiable information to contact you to participate in a market research survey, so that we can gauge customer satisfaction and develop better products.

Out of respect for your privacy, we give you the option to not receive these types of communications. If you do not wish to receive our promotional material you may opt-out of receiving it by emailing us at unsubscribe@myflipbooks.com at any time.

How we collect personally identifiable information
We collect personally identifiable information about you in several ways.

How we protect your personally identifiable information
