Poetry Bookshop Online is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers and of other users of the site.

• Poetry Bookshop Online protects the privacy of our site's users and of our customers' personal information.

Use of credit and debit card information

How Poetry Bookshop Online uses the information you give us
• When you place an order we will ask for your name, email address and delivery address. You can also enter your phone number if you wish. We use this information to process and fulfil your orders and to enable you to keep track of the progress of your order. Once you have entered these details you need not do so again, simply click on Login or My Account and you will see details of previous orders and your chosen delivery address. You will not see your credit or debit card details because we do not hold this information.

• Poetry Bookshop Online may use the personal information you give us, when you place an order, or request a newsletter for example, to inform you of important changes to the site and special offers and promotions we think could be of interest to you. You will always be given the opportunity to opt out of receiving such information and if at any time you change your mind and no-longer wish to receive emails from us, please let us know by emailing customerservice@poetrybookshoponline.com
