Privacy
& Security
Privacy is a right,
not an option
The Globe Corner Bookstores' privacy policy
regarding customer data (on-line and in-store) is simple and
does not require acres of fine print:
The Globe Corner Bookstore does not exchange,
rent, or sell its customer data to any company, organization,
government agency, or individual.
We believe that our customers have a right
to privacy, protected by the First Amendment, and that it
is our obligation as a bookseller to protect the privacy of
individual reading choices. I encourage you to support booksellers
who will protect and respect your right to privacy.
Please feel free to contact me directly ([email protected])
if you have concerns about our privacy policy.

Security
at Globecorner.com
If you choose to use our on-line secure server
to make purchases, all of your personal data is encrypted
using industry-standard SSL-encryption before it is transmitted
over the Internet. The change from http:// to https:// in
the URL indicates that you have entered the Globe Corner Bookstore
secure server which is certified by Verisign.
Once your encrypted order information is transmitted,
The Globe Corner Bookstore stores this data on a machine which
is not accessible from the Internet. Only Globe Corner Bookstore
staff in our mail order fulfillment area have access to this
data.
We guarantee the security of our system. In
the event of unauthorized use of your card, you would first
contact your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting
rules and procedures. Under U.S. Federal law, your bank can
not hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges.
If your bank does hold you liable for any or all of the maximum
$50.00 amount, The Globe Corner Bookstores will reimburse
your for that charge up to $50.00 (assuming that the unauthorized
use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your
own from purchases made at our web site while using our secure
server).
