Personal information is collected by the Digital Renaissance Editions only when you specifically and knowingly choose to provide it to us, such as when you provide feedback on our Feedback form. Publicly available information, such as a public directory listing of your name, address, telephone number, and electronic address, is not considered personal information.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
The Digital Renaissance Editions collects and uses your personal information primarily for the purpose of providing you with the services you have requested from us, including access to the features of our website.

We will seek your prior consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of the information as required by applicable privacy legislation. Subject to legal and contractual requirements, you can refuse to consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of information about you. You may also withdraw your consent to any further collection, use, or disclosure of information about you at any time by giving us reasonable notice. If our intended disclosures or uses of information change, we will notify you accordingly. Your personal information will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.
