These third-party ad servers and ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements that appear on the site, and they automatically receive your IP Address when this happens. Such third-party ad servers may also use other technologies (such as cookies, Javascript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content.

You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks.

These companies may use the information outlined above (which does not include your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Links
This website contains links to other sites. SwensonBookDevelopment.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This legal statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
This website may inadvertently link to distasteful, incorrect or unintended content. Swenson Book Development LLC in no way condones, endorses or takes responsibility for such content.
Surveys and Contests
Our website requests information from users via surveys and/or for contests. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, that information is protected both online and off-line. Online, our security policy is that only those persons who have a need to know will have access to the database, and a security policy is in place to prevent any unauthorized persons from using this database. If and when our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or Social Security number), that information is encrypted and protected with encryption software. While on a secure page, such as an order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when one is only ‘surfing’. If and when we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. If you have any questions about the security of our website, please email us at our contact web page.

As a young girl Brooke Randel knew little about the Holocaust—just that it was a catastrophe in which millions were murdered, and that her grandma Golda Indig barely escaped that fate.
