We collect information you voluntarily provide when you place an order, create an account, contact us, or sign up for our mailing list. This may include:

  • Name, email address, and mailing address
  • Phone number (if provided)
  • Order history and preferences
  • Messages or inquiries you send us

We do not collect payment card data directly — all payment processing is handled securely by our payment processor.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process and fulfill your orders
  • Communicate with you about your orders or inquiries
  • Send updates about new titles, promotions, or events (you may opt out at any time)
  • Improve our website and customer experience
  • Comply with legal obligations

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. We share information only as necessary to fulfill your order or respond to your request, including with:

  • Shipping carriers (USPS, UPS) to deliver your order
  • Payment processors to handle transactions securely
  • Our email service provider to send transactional or marketing emails
  • Our website hosting provider (WP Engine)

All third-party providers are contractually required to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us.

Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your browser — to keep your shopping cart active, remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though doing so may affect some website functionality such as the shopping cart.

Your Rights & Choices

You have the right to control how your personal information is used. At any time, you may contact us to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct any inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your personal data (subject to any legal retention requirements)
  • Opt out of marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send
  • Object to or restrict certain uses of your data

Residents of the European Union have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability. California residents have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@histriabooks.com.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information both online and offline. Sensitive data transmitted through the website is encrypted via SSL. Only employees who need access to your information to perform their job are granted that access, and personal information is stored in a secure environment.

While we take these precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this notice, including maintaining your account, processing orders, and complying with legal and tax obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time, subject to those requirements.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated notice.

Questions or Concerns?

We take your privacy seriously. If you have any questions about this notice or how your data is handled, please reach out.
