Westmont Bookstore reserves the right to change, update and revise our Privacy Policy from time to time, at our sole discretion, by posting the most current version of the Privacy Policy at http: WESTMONT_URL.com/privacy
In this Privacy Policy, "you" or "your" means any person or entity using the Service ("User"). Unless otherwise stated, the "Company," "we" or "our" will refer collectively to Westmont Bookstore.

Information We Collect
If you wish to complete a transaction on the Website, you will be required to register, where you will create an individual account at seventen.textrental.com ("your account"). We will collect personal information that we require to bill you for the Service, communicate with you, and ship products you purchase and otherwise manage the relationship with you. This personal information may include your name, your email address, your telephone number, your credit card information, your billing address, and your shipping address. We may also ask for information about your gender, the school that you are attending, areas of study and the number of years of attendance at that school. We will maintain records on your purchases as well.
You may browse the Website and use the shopping cart without registering and providing this personal information, but you cannot perform a transaction without registering.
Our Service uses "Cookies", which are small data files used to identify returning users so that you are recognized by the Website, and so your experience on the Website is customized. We also automatically collect anonymous information about a User's IP address, browser type and referrer by logging this information from your browser. Your browser can be set to disable Cookies, but doing so may interfere with your use of the Service.
We do not intend the Service to be used by any individual under the age of 18 (a "Minor") without the supervision of a parent or guardian 18 years of age or older (a "Guardian"). If you are a Minor, you may use the Site only under the supervision of a Guardian. In accordance with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly solicit nor will it accept personally identifiable information from users known to be under thirteen (13) years of age.
In the event that Westmont Bookstore is acquired or substantially all of our assets are acquired, your personal information will be transferred to the acquiring entity.
How Your Information Is Used
The primary purpose of obtaining the personal information that you provide is to provide you with the Service, which includes facilitating purchase and rental transactions with you, billing you for purchases and rentals, and shipping your order to you. In addition, we may use the information to market our products and services to you. You can opt-out from us using your information for this purpose at any time by logging onto your account at seventen.textrental.com and following the instructions under the tab labeled "Preferences".
We may ask for demographic information about you and your school. The purpose of this information is to help us understand usage patterns on the Website, which in turn helps us improve a User's overall experience on the Website.
