Use of Information Collected on Jones & Bartlett Learning’s Site:
We use personal information to provide the highest quality of service to our customers, prospects, and general visitors to this web site. In addition to the specific purposes for which we collect certain data, as described further in this Privacy Policy, Jones & Bartlett Learning may collect personal information in connection with any online employment applications, or so that we can contact you, provide materials to you upon your request, track your orders, register you, send relevant messages via e-mail or postal mail, or for any other purpose identified when personal information is collected. The Jones & Bartlett Learning website provides a way to indicate that you do not wish to receive these messages in which case we will remove your information from the appropriate list.
Shopping cart/Review Copy Cart:
Both our online Shopping Cart and our Review Copy Cart use your email address to track your order. This allows us to automatically send you a receipt and a shipping confirmation electronically, and to contact you in case of a problem or a need for more information to process your order. We reserve the right to send you periodic communications for marketing and promotional purposes. When you order from us, we may ask you at the end of your order if you would like to receive email (see below), but you will not be signed up automatically. You will need to manually click the indicated link, choose one or more product categories, and then submit a form to get signed up for email updates.
Email:
Our email messages are based on an opt-in system, and are not considered unsolicited commercial email (SPAM). If you received such a message from us, someone using that address signed up to receive our messages. If you are the owner of this account and did not sign up, you may remove your email address by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. This will permanently remove your address from Jones & Bartlett Learning email distribution list unless you choose to join again later.
If you have any trouble, please click here for Technical Help and we will attempt to resolve your problem as quickly as possible.
Referrals/Recommendations:
If you receive an email from us marked "Tell a Friend,” these messages have been sent via a Web-form by an individual who indicated that they were a colleague or friend of yours and wanted you to receive information about something they were browsing on our web site, such as a newly published title or newly released web site. The name and email address of the individual who has sent you the referral will be included in the email you receive.
Email addresses to which we send Tell-a-Friend messages are NOT saved for our further use. The software we use to send these messages is "double-blind," meaning that we do not know whom these messages are being sent, and you will not be contacted by us again in the future as a result of receiving or sending one of these referrals or recommendations.

We may be required to transfer your personal information by law or under a court order or in connection with an organizational change, such as a merger or acquisition by another company or the sale of Jones & Bartlett Learning’s assets. If Jones & Bartlett Learning, in its sole discretion, determines that that a transfer is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Jones & Bartlett Learning or its personnel, or this site or its users, then we may also share your personal information.
