When you visit our website KBOOKS.LK, KBOOKS collects your IP address, which we use to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our websites, and to improve our products and services. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information that does not personally identify you.

To order from us or use other KBOOKS Services (as defined in our Terms of Use), you must set up a KBOOKS account. Setting up an account requires you to provide your email address and to choose a password (your "Account Information"). When you order from us, we also ask for your name, shipping address, telephone number, and credit card number, billing address, and expiration date (your "Order Information"). This information is necessary for us to process your order, to notify you of your order status, and to fulfil orders. We do not save your credit card information and payments are processed through a 3rd payment payment gateway provider.

Email messages from KBOOKS - If you register as a KBOOKS customer, KBOOKS may send to you email or other communications containing information about KBOOKS and other matters KBOOKS believes will interest you. At any time you may alter your communications preferences by logging into your account and choosing which email communications you want to receive in your Email Preferences. Also, each email KBOOKS sends to you will tell you how to decline further unsolicited email. From time to time, KBOOKS may also send you email containing important information regarding the website, which you may not opt out of receiving.

This website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. When you place orders or access your account information, we use a secure server. The secure server layer (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. All of the customer data we collect is similarly protected against unauthorized access.

KBOOKS may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related website information to third parties, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. Put simply, we will not tell our business partners that you bought a particular item, but we may tell them how many customers in certain demographic groups bought certain items.
