Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how The Library of Alexandria (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit, contact, or make a purchase from libraryofalexandria.com (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

When you place an order or contact us, we collect order and contact information you provide: your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and the products you purchase. Your payment details (card number, etc.) are entered into and processed directly by our payment provider; we do not store full payment card numbers on our systems.

When you browse the Site, we automatically collect device and usage information — including your IP address, browser type, time zone, the pages you view, and the referring site — using cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

  • To process and fulfill your orders, including shipping the printed volumes and delivering your free digital eBooks and audiobooks;
  • To send you order confirmations, shipping updates, and customer-service responses;
  • To send marketing or promotional messages where you have consented (you can unsubscribe at any time);
  • To detect and prevent fraud and to keep the Site secure;
  • To measure and improve our Site, products, and advertising.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your cart, understand how the Site is used, and measure the performance of our advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some pages may include analytics and advertising pixels (for example from Meta, TikTok, or Google) that help us understand traffic and the effectiveness of our ads.

How We Share Information

We share personal information with service providers who help us run our business, including: Shopify, which powers our online store; payment processors, which handle transactions; shipping and fulfillment partners, who deliver your order; email and SMS providers, who send our communications; and analytics and advertising partners, who help us measure and improve our marketing. We may also disclose information to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights. We do not sell your personal information for money.

Behavioural Advertising

We may use your information to show you ads we believe are relevant. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org), and through your device or platform ad settings.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to data portability. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.

Data Retention

We retain your order information for our records and to meet legal, accounting, and reporting obligations, unless and until you ask us to delete it.

Security

We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

International Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries that may have different data-protection laws than your own.

Children

The Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
