NetGalley LLC may use this information to send you email about its services unless you opt out at the time of registration or otherwise by contacting us using the information provided in the Questions and Changes to Your Information section at the end of this Policy. Moreover, if you so choose at the time of registration or otherwise, NetGalley LLC may use this information to allow other community members and users to email you. If you are an Authorized User, then NetGalley LLC may share your Personally Identifiable Information with the Client who has authorized your access to Confidential Content in Secure Areas.

Anonymous Information

NetGalley LLC may also gather certain information that does not identify you personally ("Anonymous Information"). NetGalley LLC may, for example, automatically collect your IP address, browser information, and site-domain name every time you visit this Website. NetGalley LLC may also collect record and collect data regarding customer-traffic patterns and Website usage. NetGalley LLC uses Anonymous Information to edit and personalize the Website and for other purposes. For example, to make the Website more relevant to users, NetGalley LLC might show to authors certain products and advertisements relating to them. Publishers might receive information about other advertisements and products. Additionally, NetGalley LLC may share Anonymous Information in ways that it deems appropriate or necessary such as sharing demographic information with advertisers or business partners.

Use of Cookies and Spyware

NetGalley LLC does not install spyware on your computer. Nor does it use spyware to retrieve information from your computer. Like many Websites, this Website uses "cookies," which are files that a browser stores on a computer hard drive for purposes such as notifying a Web site that a particular user has returned. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. If your browser does not accept cookies, you can still view the Website and may, as applicable, make a purchase. For an optimal Website experience, however, NetGalley LLC recommends that your browser be configured to accept cookies.

Third Party Agents

NetGalley LLC occasionally employs third-party agents, affiliates, and partners who perform on its behalf functions such as marketing, analytics, credit-card processing, shipping or stocking orders, providing customer service, and programming this Website. These people or entities may have access to your Personally Identifiable Information as strictly needed to perform their functions and will be contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of such information.
