Govi Rare Books LLC is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.govirarebooks.com (the "Site").
Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device using Google Analytics. This includes anonymous statistical data about your web browser, operating system, IP address, time zone, and how you interact with the pages. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information."
Essential Technologies: We also use local browser storage (such as session storage) strictly to remember your search filters and scroll position while you navigate our catalog. These are strictly necessary for the website to function properly, are temporary, and do not track you across other websites.
Additionally, when you submit an inquiry, reservation, or purchase request through our contact forms, we collect the data you explicitly fill out: your name, email address, phone number, and message. We refer to this as "Contact Information."
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use the Contact Information you provide solely to process your requests, communicate with you directly regarding specific books or manuscripts, and handle transactions or reservations.
We use the Device Information collected via Google Analytics to analyze generalized user traffic, understand how users navigate our catalog, and optimize the overall experience of the Site.
Sharing Your Personal Information
We value your trust: we never sell, lease, or share your Contact Information with external marketing networks or third parties. We only share your Device Information with Google Analytics to analyze generalized data. You can read more about how Google handles privacy here: Google Privacy Policy. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics at any time here: Google Opt-out.
If strictly necessary, we may also share personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, respond to a lawful subpoena, or protect our legal rights.
Your Rights
If you are a European resident (covered under GDPR) or fall under equivalent privacy frameworks, you have the right to request access to the data we hold about you and to ask for its correction, update, or definitive erasure. If you wish to exercise this right, please reach out to us using the contact details below.
Data Retention & Changes
