Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Chanticleer Book Reviews, a division of Delta Latitude, L.L.C. we have a few fundamental principles:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals: (Note,  this privacy policy is available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you’re more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you. The original came from automattic.com/privacy.)

Delta Latitude LLC. (“Delta Latitude”) operates several websites including chantireviews.com and deltalatitude.com. It is Delta Latitude’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Submitted Books/Manuscripts

We know that you put a lot of effort into your book. Delta Latitude will only distribute your book or manuscript as needed to write a review. If you submit a printed version of the material then you can request that the material be returned or destroyed. If you wish to have the material returned, you must supply a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) when you submit your printed copy. CBR maintains the right to retain one copy of the reviewed work for our library of reviews as is the practice of professional review services and all others will be destroyed or returned as per the author’s/publisher’ s request. You, as the author, retain all rights to the manuscript.

After Chanticleer Book Reviews completes a paid book review and delivers it to the author, there is a 72 hour period in which the author may decided that he/she does not want the review published on the CBR site.  This decision must be in writing (email is preferred).  If CBR does not hear anything from the author/publisher within 72 hours of contact, the review will be published on our site, and posted and distributed to various third party review sites such as  goodreads.com, Amazon, BN.com, etc. .

The author may republish the review as long as they provide credit to Chanticleer Book Reviews or CBR.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Delta Latitude collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Delta Latitude’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Delta Latitude’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Delta Latitude may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Delta Latitude also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on chantireviews.com blogs. Delta Latitude only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Delta Latitude’s websites choose to interact with Delta Latitude in ways that require Delta Latitude to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Delta Latitude gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask users who comment on reviews chantireviews.com to provide a name and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Delta Latitude – by purchasing a book review, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Delta Latitude collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Delta Latitude. Delta Latitude does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Delta Latitude may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Delta Latitude may monitor the most popular books on the chantireviews.com site. Delta Latitude may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Delta Latitude does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Delta Latitude discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Delta Latitude’s behalf or to provide services available at Delta Latitude’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Delta Latitude’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Delta Latitude will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Delta Latitude discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Delta Latitude believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Delta Latitude, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Delta Latitude website and have supplied your email address, Delta Latitude may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Delta Latitude and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Delta Latitude takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
