PRIVACY POLICY

Our privacy policy covers the collection and use of personal information that may be collected by Netcomics anytime you interact with Netcomics, such as when you visit our website, and when you purchase our books and services.
Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information practices.

Why we collect personal information
Why do we collect your personal information? Because it helps us deliver a greater level of customer service. It enables us to give you convenient access to our products and services.

When we disclose your information
Netcomics takes your privacy very seriously. Be assured that Netcomics does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers. There are times when it may be advantageous for Netcomics to make certain personal information about you available to companies that Netcomics has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for Netcomics to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies may help us process information, fulfill customer orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with Netcomics's policies. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to purchase products, have products delivered to you, receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products and services, or access certain services, offers, and content on the Netcomics website.
At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.

How we protect your personal information
Netcomics takes precautions - including administrative, technical, and physical measures - to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
The Netcomics uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To make purchases from the Netcomics, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it's transmitted over the Internet.
You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers.

Integrity of your personal information
Netcomics has safeguards in place to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date for the purposes for which it is used. Naturally, you always have the right to access and correct the personal information you have provided. You can help us ensure that your contact information and preferences are accurate, complete, and up to date by checking at My Account menu.

Cookies and other technologies
We use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us.
If, however, you prefer not to enable cookies, please see our Help menu, which explains how you can disable cookies. Please note that certain features of the Netcomics website will not be available once cookies are disabled.
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Netcomics will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.

Our commitment to your privacy
Netcomics takes protecting your privacy very seriously. To make sure your personal information is secure, we communicate these guidelines to Netcomics employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the company. And we do not knowingly solicit personal information from minors or send them requests for personal information.
Netcomics's website has links to the sites of other companies. Netcomics is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

Privacy questions
