Xist Media Group Inc. ("Xist Publishing," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of visitors to our website, xistpublishing.com, and our online store (collectively, the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.

This policy is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. We recommend having this policy reviewed by a qualified attorney to confirm it meets the specific requirements of your business and the jurisdictions in which you operate.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, shipping and billing address, phone number, and payment information when you make a purchase, contact us, or sign up for our newsletter.
• Information collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you visit, through cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies.
• Information from third parties, such as payment processors, shipping carriers, and advertising partners.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies, including the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Amazon Advertising tracking tags, to operate our Site, analyze traffic, measure the effectiveness of our advertising, and deliver relevant ads on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and through Amazon's advertising network. These tools may collect information about your visits to our Site and other websites to build audiences for advertising and to report on ad performance.

You can learn more about these tools and your choices through Meta's Cookies Policy and Amazon's Advertising Privacy Notice. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings, opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info, or adjust your ad preferences directly within Meta's Ad Preferences settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to process and fulfill orders, respond to inquiries, send transactional and (with your consent) marketing communications, personalize your experience, improve our Site and products, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

4. How We Share Your Information

We share information with service providers who help us operate our business, including payment processors, shipping carriers, email service providers, and advertising partners such as Meta and Amazon, solely to provide their services to us. We do not sell your personal information for money. Depending on your state of residence, sharing information with advertising partners for targeted advertising purposes may be considered a "sale" or "share" under applicable law; see Section 6 for your rights and choices.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.

5. Children's Privacy

Our books and products are created for children, but our Site and online store are intended for use by adults, including parents, guardians, teachers, and librarians who make purchases on behalf of children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 through our Site, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information in Section 9.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to know what information we collect, request access to or a copy of your information, request correction or deletion of your information, and opt out of the sale or sharing of your information for targeted advertising, including opting out via the Global Privacy Control where supported.

California residents have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Residents of other states with comparable privacy laws, including Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, may have similar rights under their state's law. We do not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

To exercise your rights or to opt out of interest-based advertising, please contact us using the information in Section 9, or adjust your cookie and ad preferences as described in Section 2.

7. Email Communications

If you sign up for our newsletter or marketing emails, you may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send, in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act. We will honor opt-out requests promptly.

8. Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.
