The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at iwunwa.com. Here are the types of information we gather.


  • Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way.

We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
  • Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses iwunwa.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of iwunwa.com on other Web sites.
  • E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from iwunwa.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please contact us via email.

What About Cookies?
  • Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features for purchasing, feautured books, personalized advertisements on other Web sites (e.g., iwunwa.com ) and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
  • The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of iwunwa.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Does iwunwa.com Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries iwunwa.com, controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.


  • Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, such as publishers and publishing houses sellers, these businesses may also operate stores at iwunwa.com or sell offerings to you at iwunwa.com. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include uploading books, delivering packages if needed, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that iwunwa.com, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
