(Last Updated on 27 Oct 2005)
E-Book Systems is committed to protecting your privacy. Generally,
you can surf through many portions of our web sites without giving
us any personally identifiable information (such as name, address,

need personally identifiable information to provide services that
you request, and this privacy policy explains data collection and
use in those situations. This privacy policy also explains
situations in which we may collect anonymous user information.
