Privacy Policy

Temple Seven — a publishing imprint of Temple Seven Press, Inc.
Last Updated: September 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Temple Seven Press, Inc., a Wyoming corporation doing business as "Temple Seven" ("Temple Seven," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in connection with www.templeseven.com and our related Services, and describes the rights available to you depending on where you live. This Policy is incorporated into, and should be read together with, our Terms and Conditions and our Cookie Policy.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to personal information we collect through the Services — including when you browse the catalog or the newspaper, map, and picture archive, create an Account, purchase a Digital Product, Print Product, or Art Print, subscribe to a paid tier or add-on, purchase or redeem a gift card, make a donation, create or collaborate on a Research Workspace, use the AI research assistant, apply to or take part in our author, affiliate, or contractor programs, use the Services through a school or other institution, contact customer support, or subscribe to our mailing list. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that we do not control, even where linked from our Services, including the separate privacy practices of our Payment Processor (Stripe) and Fulfillment Partners (Lulu Press, Inc. for books and Prodigi for Art Prints), each of which maintains its own privacy policy governing information it collects directly. This Policy is an interim revision dated September 25, 2026, updated to describe the Services as they exist on that date, and remains subject to review by counsel.

2. Who We Are

Temple Seven Press, Inc. is the entity responsible for the personal information described in this Policy (in EU/UK data protection terminology, the "controller" for most processing described below, except where we act as a processor on behalf of a Fulfillment Partner or Payment Processor for narrow, specified tasks). Our mailing address is 971 US Highway 202N #8250, Branchburg, NJ 08876, United States, and we can be reached at the contact details in Section 25. Our registered agent for service of legal process is Northwest Registered Agent Service Inc., 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801.

3. Information You Provide to Us

Account information: name, email address, password (managed via Firebase Authentication and stored in hashed/encrypted form, never in plain text), country/region, and, if you choose to enable it, time-based one-time-password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication enrollment. If you choose "Remember this device" at sign-in, we also store a trusted-device token in your browser and a matching record on our servers so that browser can skip the code prompt for fourteen (14) days (see our Cookie Policy).
Order information: billing name, and, for Print Products and Art Prints, shipping name, address, email address, and phone number (our Fulfillment Partners use these to arrange delivery), items purchased — including, for an Art Print, the picture and the size, medium, frame, and border you chose — and order history.
Subscription and billing information: subscription tier, billing cycle, status, and a token representing your payment method as provided by Stripe (we do not receive or store your full card number).
Reading data: annotations, highlights, bookmarks, resume/reading-progress positions, and reader display preferences associated with your Account, so your reading experience is consistent across sessions and devices.
Book requests: if you use our book-request form, the title, author, source, and any notes you submit.
Gift card information: gift card codes purchased or redeemed, and, if you send a gift card to another person, the recipient's name, email address, and any personal gift message you include.
Donation information: donation amount and date, and your identity as provided through Stripe Checkout.
Affiliate/creator information: for public program applicants, name, email, platform(s), audience size, and pitch submitted through our application form; for approved Affiliates, payout identity and details collected through Stripe Connect Express onboarding (Stripe performs "know your customer" verification; we do not separately collect or store your government ID).
Communications: information you provide when you contact customer support, respond to surveys, or submit a review.
Research Workspace (Loom) content: the text notes, images, quotations, links, video references, clips of newspapers and maps, connections, tasks, and layout you create on a workspace; workspace settings (including whether it is shared or published); frozen versions; material you save through the capture inbox, browser extension, or bookmarklet; the workspace's history — who added, edited, connected, or removed each card, and when, with a copy of every removed card (see Section 14); your researcher profile and the workspaces you publish, with their views, hearts, and the workspaces built on them; and, if you use them, the questions you ask the AI research assistant, the topics and briefs you give for AI Workspaces, and the text you submit for quote checks.
Uploaded images: images you add to a workspace, the automated safety-screening result for each image, and any appeal you file about a blocked image.
Collaboration information: the email addresses of people you invite to a workspace, the roles you assign, invitation status, and presence signals (who is currently viewing or editing a shared workspace).
Author program information: your application, manuscript files and their metadata, the signed author agreement and rights affidavit (executed through SignNow), originality-scan results, the tier and fee option you chose, payout identity and details collected through Stripe Connect onboarding, sales and royalty reports (including Amazon KDP reports you or we upload), and payout history.
Contractor and listing-editor information: for invited contractors, name, email, country, the tax form that applies to you (IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN, certified through the Services), the signed contractor agreement (executed through SignNow), pay rate or pool share, timesheets, training scores and reviewer notes, performance reviews, assignment history, payout details (Wise recipient details, or the record of a manually sent payment), and messages and images you exchange with staff through the in-app chat.
Institution and student information: for Institutions, the organization's name, contact details, license and seat records, administrators, optional co-branding logo, and LTI configuration; for Institution Users, the seat assignment, class membership, access scope, work submitted to or returned by a teacher, and, where you arrive through a learning-management system, the name, email, role, and course context that system sends us.
Messages: messages you send through the Services, including comments on workspaces, direct messages with staff, and conversations with the admin assistant.

We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal information (such as health, religious belief, or biometric data) through the Services, and ask that you not include such information in support messages, reviews, workspaces, or messages unless clearly necessary and relevant.

4. Information We Collect Automatically

When you use the Services, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information through cookies, pixels, log files, and similar technologies, including: IP address and approximate geolocation derived from it; device, browser, and operating system type; referring and exit pages; pages viewed, reading progress, and features used; date and time stamps; and diagnostic and crash information. We also store certain values in your browser's local storage (for example, your cookie choice, reader and workspace display preferences, onboarding flags, and the trusted-device token described in Section 3). If you install the optional browser extension or bookmarklet, it sends us only the page address, selected text, or image you choose to capture, when you choose to capture it. Details of the specific cookies and similar technologies we use, their purposes, and how to control them are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which forms part of this Privacy Policy.

5. Information We Receive From Third Parties

From our Payment Processor (Stripe): payment status, a tokenized representation of your payment method, fraud-risk signals, and, where you use Stripe Tax, information used to calculate applicable sales tax or VAT.
From our Fulfillment Partners (Lulu Press, Inc. and Prodigi): production and shipping status for Print Products and Art Prints, including carrier and tracking information.
From Google Analytics: aggregated or pseudonymous usage data, only where you have accepted analytics cookies. We do not work with advertising partners and receive no data from them.
From SignNow: confirmation that an author or contractor agreement or tax form was signed, and the executed document.
From Copyleaks: originality-scan results for a manuscript or workspace text.
From Wise and Stripe Connect: payout and transfer status, and, from Stripe, the outcome of identity verification for affiliate and author payouts.
From Amazon KDP: sales and royalty reports for Author Works on the Amazon tier, as uploaded by the author or by us.
From an Institution or its learning-management system: seat assignments, class rosters, and, on an LTI launch, the name, email, role, and course context the system sends.
From other users: your email address, if another user invites you to a workspace, and content that mentions you.

6. Payment Information

All payment card data is collected and processed directly by Stripe, Inc., a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We never receive, transmit, or store your full card number, card verification code, or bank account credentials. We receive limited information from Stripe necessary to confirm your purchase, issue receipts, detect fraud, process refunds, and manage Subscriptions, such as the last four digits of your card, card brand, expiration month/year, billing postal code, and a payment token. Your use of Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link is likewise governed by Stripe's and, where applicable, Apple's or Google's own privacy practices.

7. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13) (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction, which may be higher, such as sixteen (16) in some EU member states or under certain U.S. state laws), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such children without appropriate consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes we may have collected information from a child may contact us using the details in Section 25.

Students using the Services through a school. Where a school or other Institution licenses the Services for its students, students may include minors. In that case the Institution, not the student, enters into the license with us; the Institution is responsible for obtaining any parental or guardian consent that the law applicable to it requires and represents to us that it has done so; and we process student information on the Institution's behalf and under its instructions to provide the licensed Services, as described in Section 12. We do not use student information for marketing, do not sell it, and will delete or return it at the Institution's request when the license ends, subject to Section 14. Parents, guardians, and students should direct requests about student records to their Institution in the first instance; we will cooperate with the Institution in responding.

8. How We Use Your Information

To create and administer your Account and deliver Digital Products and Print Products you purchase or access for free.
To process payments, calculate applicable tax, prevent fraud, and manage Subscriptions, gift cards, and donations.
To fulfill and ship Print Products and Art Prints through our Fulfillment Partners, and to provide order status and delivery updates.
To provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.
To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services, including analyzing reading and usage trends across our archive.

To send transactional communications (order confirmations, receipts, renewal notices, shipping updates) and, where you have opted in or as otherwise permitted by law, marketing communications about new Editions, promotions, or Subscription offers.
To administer the affiliate program, including calculating and paying commissions.
To operate Loom: storing and displaying your content, sharing it with the collaborators you choose or the public where you publish a workspace, letting other users build on a published workspace, showing presence to collaborators, sending invitations, exporting, keeping each workspace's history, and recovering deleted workspaces during the recovery period.
To provide AI features you use — the research assistant, originality and quote checks, image safety screening, and AI-generated descriptions — as described in Section 11b.
To screen uploaded images for safety, review appeals, respond to copyright and other complaints, and keep records of moderation decisions.

To run the listing-editor and contractor program: onboarding, tax-form and agreement collection, training and grading, assigning and reviewing work, timesheets, performance reviews, staff messaging, and paying contractors.
To provide institutional licenses: managing seats, classes, access scopes, co-branding, LTI connections, student discounts, and institution commissions.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms, and protect the rights, property, and safety of the Company, our users, and the public.

9. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK Users)

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") or the UK GDPR applies to our processing of your personal information, we rely on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (to create your Account, deliver purchases, and administer Subscriptions); legitimate interests (to secure and improve the Services, prevent fraud, and, in a manner that does not override your rights, conduct analytics and limited direct marketing to existing customers); consent (for non-essential cookies and, where required, marketing communications to prospective customers); and compliance with a legal obligation (for example, tax and accounting records). You may withdraw consent at any time as described in Sections 22–23 without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

10. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information — Ever

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not use advertising or marketing pixels of any kind on the Services. Our only non-essential tracking technology is Google Analytics (via Firebase Analytics), which is disabled by default and only activates if you affirmatively accept it through our cookie banner, as described in our Cookie Policy. Because we do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising and do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for money or other valuable consideration, we do not believe our current practices constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA or comparable U.S. state privacy laws, and we accordingly do not currently operate a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link. If our practices change in the future such that a sale or sharing occurs, we will update this Policy and implement the required opt-out mechanism before doing so. As a precaution, we nonetheless detect and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, where technically supported by your browser, as a general opt-out preference signal for any future non-essential tracking.

11. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies for core site functionality (authentication, cart, and remembering your cookie preference) and, only if you affirmatively opt in through our cookie banner, Google Analytics to help us understand site usage. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies of any kind. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through our cookie banner and change your choice at any time via "Manage Cookies" in the site footer. For a full description of each cookie we use, its purpose, and duration, please see our Cookie Policy.

11a. Embedded Video Players (Research Workspaces)

Public Research workspaces may display videos using the YouTube embedded player, which is provided by Google and constitutes a use of YouTube API Services. On those pages we show a still thumbnail by default and the player itself is not loaded until you choose to play the video, which limits what is shared with Google beforehand. When the player loads and when you play a video, Google may collect and store information about your device and viewing activity — including through cookies and similar technologies placed or read on your device by Google — independently of us and in accordance with its own policies. We do not receive that information and we cannot control Google's use of it.

By using features that display the YouTube embedded player, you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of information collected through the player is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can review and control the data Google associates with your account at Google's privacy settings, and you can avoid the player entirely by not pressing play — every video on a workspace can also be opened directly on YouTube.

Vimeo. Research workspaces may also display videos using the Vimeo player. We load it with Vimeo's "do not track" setting enabled, which instructs Vimeo not to set its vuid cookie and not to track the playback session. As with YouTube, the player is not loaded until you choose to play the video, and Vimeo may collect information about your device and viewing activity once it loads, independently of us. Vimeo's practices are described in the Vimeo Privacy Policy; its terms are at vimeo.com/terms. Whether a given video can be embedded at all is set by the person who uploaded it.

11b. Artificial-Intelligence Processing

Several features send data to third-party AI providers so they can perform the processing. We describe below which provider receives what. In each case the provider processes the data under its own terms and privacy policy, and we send only what the feature needs.

Google (Gemini API): receives the text of Editions and Archive Items, and images of pictures in our archive, for cleanup, description, and listing metadata; book-request details for triage; when you use the AI research assistant, your question together with the contents of the workspace it is grounded on (your notes, quotations, and links); and, when you launch an AI Workspace, the topic and brief you give it. Assistant conversations are stored with your Account for the retention period in Section 14.
Google (Cloud Vision): receives page scans for OCR, and each image you upload to a Research Workspace for automated safety screening (a score for adult, racy, and violent content). The screening result is stored with the image record.
Copyleaks: receives the text of author manuscripts when they are submitted for review, and returns similarity results that we store with the submission.
OpenAI and Fish Audio: receive the text of Editions selected for audiobook narration, which is catalog content rather than your personal information.
Automated grading of contractor training: contractor training answers are scored automatically against staff-written answer keys, with AI-generated (Gemini) feedback explaining each miss; the score determines retries and progression through training, and activation as a contractor is decided by our staff.

We do not sell data to AI providers. We have not verified the model-training terms of each provider's plan and therefore do not make a representation here about whether providers train on the data they process for us; we will update this Section when that review is complete.

12. How We Disclose Information

We disclose personal information to the following sub-processors and categories of recipients, each engaged under contractual terms that restrict their use of your information to the purposes we specify:

Google LLC (Firebase / Google Cloud Platform) — authentication (Firebase Authentication), database and file storage (Firestore, Cloud Storage), hosting and serverless functions (Firebase Hosting, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run), bot protection (reCAPTCHA / App Check), site analytics (Firebase/Google Analytics, only after consent), billing analytics of our own cloud spend (BigQuery), and the AI processing described in Section 11b (Cloud Vision for OCR and image screening; the Gemini API for cleanup, descriptions, book-request triage, the research assistant, and training grading).
Stripe, Inc. — payment processing, tax calculation and collection via Stripe Tax, and affiliate and author payouts and identity verification via Stripe Connect.
Lulu Press, Inc. (our Fulfillment Partner for books) — to manufacture and ship Print Products, which requires disclosure of your name, shipping address, and phone number.
Prodigi Group Ltd and its affiliates, including Prodigi USA Inc (our Fulfillment Partner for Art Prints) — to manufacture and ship Art Prints, which requires disclosure of your name, shipping address, email address, and phone number, together with the print file of the picture you ordered.
Resend — to deliver transactional email, including receipts, authentication and security emails, subscription lifecycle notices, workspace invitations and notifications, staff-message digests, and gift card, donation, and book-request confirmations.
Sentry — error and crash telemetry to help us identify and fix technical issues; Sentry is configured not to collect personal information beyond an internal user identifier (default PII collection is disabled).
OpenAI and Fish Audio — text-to-speech narration of catalog text for audiobooks (Section 11b).
Copyleaks — originality scanning of author manuscripts (Section 11b).
SignNow — electronic signature of author agreements and affidavits, contractor agreements, and tax-form certifications; SignNow receives the signer's name and email and the document.
Wise — contractor payouts, which requires the contractor's name and payout account details.
Amazon (Kindle Direct Publishing) — for authors on the Amazon tier, the Author Work, its metadata, and the author's name as it appears on the listing.
Learning-management systems connected by an Institution — over the LTI standard, we exchange with the Institution's system the identifiers needed to launch the Services and return deep-linked content.
Public repositories and catalogs (Library of Congress, Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, Open Library, Standard Ebooks, Crossref, arXiv, PubMed, Google Books) — we fetch catalog content and metadata from these services on our servers; the requests carry identifiers of the works being looked up, not your personal information.
Social platforms (LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Meta) — we post about our catalog to our own accounts through these platforms' APIs. These posts contain catalog content, not your personal information or User Content, and no platform tracking is placed on the Services.
Other users — collaborators you invite see your name and the content of the shared workspace, and may see its history; anyone can see a workspace you publish, with your name and researcher profile, and other users can build on it or copy it (Weave and Thread); Institution administrators and teachers see their Institution Users' seat, class, and submitted work; staff see contractor and author records needed to administer those programs.
Professional advisors (lawyers, accountants, auditors) and, where necessary, regulators or law enforcement — to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights.
A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to that entity's assumption of the commitments in this Policy.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent, and, consistent with Section 10, we do not disclose personal information to any party in exchange for money or other valuable consideration.

13. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States, and personal information we collect is processed and stored primarily in the United States by the sub-processors named in Section 12 (Google, Stripe, Lulu, Resend, Sentry, OpenAI, Fish Audio, Copyleaks, SignNow, Wise, Amazon, and the social platforms we post to each operate infrastructure in the United States, and some also process data elsewhere). Prodigi is based in the United Kingdom and produces Art Prints at facilities in several countries, so the shipping details for an Art Print are processed in the United Kingdom and in the country of the facility that produces it. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data-transfer restrictions, your information may be transferred to and processed in a country that has not been deemed to offer an "adequate" level of data protection by your local authority. Where required, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and, for UK transfers, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum) with our sub-processors, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

We have not appointed a representative in the EU or the UK under Article 27 of the GDPR / UK GDPR. We serve users in those regions and are assessing whether the scale and nature of that processing requires a representative; until that assessment is complete, EEA and UK users may contact us directly at the address in Section 25 for any data-protection matter. If a representative is required, we will appoint one and update this Policy with their contact details.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal information according to the following schedule, which we review periodically to ensure it reflects only what is necessary to provide the Services and meet our legal obligations:

Account data: retained while your Account is active. If you delete your Account, it enters a seven (7) day grace period (during which you may reactivate it), after which private account data is permanently and irreversibly deleted on an hourly deletion cycle.
Order and billing records: retained for seven (7) years to meet tax, accounting, and fraud-prevention obligations; for an Art Print this includes the print file we sent to our Fulfillment Partner. Following Account deletion, order records are retained but disassociated from your Account (the record's user reference is cleared) rather than linked to your identity going forward.
Analytics data: retained for fourteen (14) months, after which it is anonymized or deleted.
Error/crash logs (Sentry): retained for ninety (90) days.
AI assistant chat threads: retained for fourteen (14) days after their last activity, unless you pin a thread, in which case it is kept until you unpin or delete it.
Research Workspaces: retained while they exist. A workspace you delete is kept for seven (7) days so you can recover it, then deleted together with its items, connections, and presence records — except its history, below. Copies that collaborators made, copies other users made of a published workspace by Thread, frozen-version receipts, and exports are not affected. When your Account is deleted, your workspaces are handled under the Account-data rule above.
Workspace history: the append-only history of each workspace — who added, edited, connected, or removed each card, and when, with a copy of every removed card — is kept even after the workspace is deleted, because preserving the record of how a workspace was built is the purpose of that feature, and no user can edit or delete it. If you ask us to erase your personal information, a member of our staff will review the history under the law that applies to you (for example, by removing or pseudonymizing your name in it) rather than deleting it automatically.
Uploaded images and screening records: an image that passes screening is retained with its workspace; an image that is blocked is never published and is held only for the appeal process. A record of each refusal (the uploader, the screening scores, and any appeal and its outcome) is retained for as long as needed to enforce our Terms, including our repeat-offender and repeat-infringer policies.
Newspaper and map usage: bookmarks, download and clip references, and reading positions are retained with your Account like other reading data; the Archive Items themselves are catalog content, not personal information.
Messages: comments on a workspace are retained with the workspace; direct messages with staff and admin-assistant conversations are retained while the relationship (contractor engagement, author program participation, or support matter) is open and for a reasonable period afterwards to resolve disputes.
Copyright notices and counter-notices: retained for as long as needed to comply with the DMCA, defend claims, and apply our repeat-infringer policy.
Executed agreements, tax forms, and payout records (author, contractor, and affiliate): retained for seven (7) years after the relationship ends, in line with tax and accounting obligations.
Timesheets, training, and performance records for contractors: retained for the length of the engagement and thereafter with the payout records they support.
Institution records: license, seat, and class records are retained for the term of the license and deleted or returned at the Institution's request after it ends, except billing and commission records, which follow the order-record rule above.

We may retain limited information for longer where necessary to resolve disputes, enforce our Terms, or comply with legal obligations, and we will delete or anonymize personal information when it is no longer needed for these purposes.

15. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including: HTTPS-only access with HSTS preload; a Content Security Policy; server-side sanitization of user-submitted HTML; rate limiting on abuse-prone and sensitive endpoints; optional two-factor (TOTP) authentication, with an optional trusted-device token that expires after fourteen (14) days and can be removed at any time by clearing your browser's site data; automated safety screening of uploaded images; time-limited, signed access URLs (expiring after thirty minutes) for stored content files; role-based access controls so that Institution, author, and contractor records are visible only to the people who administer them; and reliance on PCI-DSS-compliant payment processing so that we never handle full card data ourselves. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information that requires notification under applicable law, we will notify you and/or the relevant regulator in accordance with that law.

16. Your Privacy Rights — United States

Depending on your state of residence and whether we meet the applicable thresholds for coverage, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA and comparable laws in states such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and others that have since enacted similar comprehensive privacy statutes. Where applicable, these rights may include the right to: know and access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; delete personal information we hold about you; correct inaccurate personal information; opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and of use of sensitive personal information for certain purposes (as described in Section 10, we do not currently sell or share personal information, so no opt-out is currently necessary, but you may still submit a request and we will confirm this in response); opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects; and not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights. You may exercise these rights by contacting us as described in Section 21. We will verify your request using information reasonably necessary to confirm your identity before acting on it, and you may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf in accordance with applicable law.

17. Your Privacy Rights — European Economic Area and United Kingdom

If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to you, you have the right to: access your personal information; rectify inaccurate information; erase your information in certain circumstances; restrict or object to processing, including processing based on legitimate interests and direct marketing; receive a copy of your information in a portable format; and withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority, including, for UK residents, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

18. Your Privacy Rights — Canada

If you are located in Canada, our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and applicable provincial equivalents. You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, and withdraw consent to certain processing, subject to legal and contractual restrictions. You may contact us as described in Section 21, or you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your rights have not been respected.

19. Your Privacy Rights — Australia and New Zealand

If you are located in Australia, we handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including by taking reasonable steps to keep your information accurate, secure, and used only for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted by law. If you are located in New Zealand, we handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020. In both cases, you have the right to access and request correction of personal information we hold about you, and you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or New Zealand's Office of the Privacy Commissioner, respectively, if you believe we have not met our obligations.

20. Your Privacy Rights — Other Jurisdictions

If you reside in a jurisdiction not specifically addressed above, you may nonetheless have rights under local data protection law, and we will honor requests to access, correct, or delete your personal information to the extent required by, and in the manner provided under, the law applicable to you. Contact us as described in Section 21 and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

21. How to Exercise Your Rights

You may exercise the rights described above by emailing privacy@templeseven.com, by adjusting settings in your Account (where self-serve tools are available, such as Account deletion and profile correction), or by writing to the mailing address in Section 25. To protect your information, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling a request — typically by confirming details associated with your Account or order history — and may decline a request, or a portion of it, where permitted by applicable law, such as where fulfilling it would be unlawful, would infringe the rights of others, or where an exception applies (for example, retaining records required for tax compliance). We aim to respond to verifiable requests within thirty (30) days, and in all cases within the maximum timeframes required by applicable law — generally forty-five (45) days under the CCPA/CPRA (extendable by a further forty-five (45) days where necessary) and one (1) month under the GDPR/UK GDPR (extendable by a further two (2) months for complex requests) — and we will notify you of any extension. We do not currently offer a self-serve data export/portability tool; portability requests are handled manually by our privacy team.

22. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal; because no common industry standard for interpreting that signal currently exists, the Services do not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals. We do, however, detect and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, where technically supported by your browser or browser extension, as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information under applicable law.

23. Marketing Communications

Where you have opted in, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law (including for existing customers regarding similar products, consistent with applicable e-marketing rules such as CAN-SPAM in the United States, CASL in Canada, and PECR/GDPR in the UK/EU), we may send you marketing emails about new Editions, promotions, and Subscription offers. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you may also manage your communication preferences from your Account. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional messages necessary to service your Account or orders, such as receipts, renewal notices, shipping updates, workspace invitations, and program notices for authors, contractors, and Institutions. We also promote our catalog on our own LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, and Meta accounts using automated posting tools; those posts are about our catalog and do not include your personal information, your User Content, or your Author Work without your permission.

24. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. We will post the revised Policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date and, where changes are material, provide additional notice as required by applicable law (which may include email notice or a prominent notice on the Services). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the changes, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
