Legal obligation. We may process information where required to comply with tax, accounting, regulatory, legal, or other obligations.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn. Marketing preferences may also be changed at any time.

We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, legal process, regulatory requirement, or where reasonably necessary to protect Edra Publishing US LLC, our customers, or others from fraud, security threats, or unlawful activity.
9. International Transfers and Security
Edra Publishing US LLC is based in the United States and serves an international audience. As a result, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than the country where you live.
Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate legal, contractual, organizational, and technical safeguards for international transfers of personal information. These safeguards may include contractual protections and other legally recognized transfer mechanisms where applicable.
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse, or destruction. Access to personal information is limited according to role and legitimate operational need.
However, no internet-based service, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can guarantee absolute security.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.
Retention periods may depend on factors including:
whether you maintain an active customer account;
order fulfillment;
digital-product access;
customer-service requirements;
financial and tax obligations;
contractual requirements;
fraud prevention;
cybersecurity;
dispute resolution;
legal claims; and
regulatory requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymized, aggregated, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, browser storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate and improve our website.
We generally use the following categories:
Essential
Essential technologies are required for the operation of the website and may support website security, login and authentication, shopping-cart continuity, checkout, wishlist functionality, session management, and other core website functions. Because these technologies are necessary to provide requested services, they are generally active by default.
Analytics
Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the website, including page views, navigation patterns, searches, product interactions, and website performance. Where consent is required by law, analytics technologies will not be activated until the visitor provides the required consent.
Marketing
Marketing technologies may help us measure advertising campaigns, understand referrals and conversions, and assess marketing effectiveness. Where required by law, these technologies are activated only after consent.
Personalization
Personalization technologies may help tailor website experiences, advertising, or content based on interests or prior interactions. Where required by law, these technologies are activated only after consent.
Depending on the functionality enabled on our website, optional technologies may include services provided by platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, and Amazon Ads.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions where consent is required must provide consent before optional analytics, marketing, or personalization technologies are activated.
Cookie and privacy choices may be remembered for up to 12 months, unless a shorter period is required by law or the user changes or clears browser settings. Visitors can review or change their preferences at any time through the Cookie Preferences link available on the website.
Browser settings may also allow users to block or delete cookies and other stored information. Disabling essential browser storage may prevent certain website features, protected areas, shopping carts, wishlists, login functions, or checkout services from working correctly.
Where required by applicable law, we may also recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals.
13. Children's Privacy
Our storefront is intended primarily for adults, professionals, students, educators, institutions, and customers purchasing professional or educational publications.
The website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent under applicable law.
If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise appropriately handle that information.
14. Marketing Communications
Where permitted by applicable law, Edra Publishing US LLC may send customers information concerning:
books and publications;
new releases;
educational products;
webinars;
events;
promotions;
professional content; and
other Edra Publishing services.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in the applicable message or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending non-marketing communications that are necessary for transactions, accounts, purchases, security, or customer service.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party platforms. Edra Publishing US LLC does not control the independent privacy practices of those third parties.
When you leave our website or use an independent third-party service, that provider's privacy policy and terms may apply. We encourage users to review the privacy notices of third-party services they choose to use.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
our services;
technology;
business practices;
service providers;
privacy requirements; or
applicable law.
The date of the most recent revision will appear at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or through other appropriate channels where required by applicable law.
