This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how Linux Books ("we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit LinuxBooks.org, create an account, place an order, contact us or otherwise use our website.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller is:
Linux Books
Email: sales@linuxbooks.org
Depending on how you use our website, we may collect:
We do not normally receive or store your complete payment card details. Payments may be processed by independent payment providers. Your payment provider may collect and process payment information in accordance with its own privacy policy.
We may use your personal information to:
When you place an order we need certain information in order to process the transaction and provide the goods or digital content you have purchased.
Payment information may be passed directly to the payment service used at checkout. We may receive information from the payment provider confirming whether a payment was successful, together with transaction identifiers and other information necessary to administer your order.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information with trusted organisations where necessary, including:
Some books displayed on LinuxBooks.org may not be sold directly by us. Instead, we may provide a link to the product on Amazon or another third-party website.
If you follow one of these links, you leave LinuxBooks.org. Any information that you provide to Amazon or another third party is handled by that organisation under its own privacy policy.
Some of our service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing customer support, maintaining accounting and tax records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and complying with legal obligations.
To exercise your rights, please contact us at sales@linuxbooks.org.
We may send you marketing emails where you have consented to receive them or where UK law otherwise permits us to contact existing customers about similar products and services.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time. Transactional messages relating to orders or your customer account may still be sent.
LinuxBooks.org may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small pieces of information that may be stored on your computer, tablet, phone or other device.
We may use analytics or statistical technologies to understand how visitors use LinuxBooks.org and to help us improve it.
Where an applicable legal exception applies, these technologies may be used without prior consent. Where required, we will provide a simple way for you to object.
We may use technologies to remember website preferences or improve the appearance or functionality of the website.
If we use cookies or similar technologies for advertising, profiling, cross-site tracking or similar non-essential purposes, we will obtain consent before they are activated where required by law.
Where LinuxBooks.org provides a cookie preference tool, you can use it to change your preferences. You can also control cookies through your web browser.
A link from LinuxBooks.org to Amazon does not mean that Amazon's website forms part of our service. Once you visit Amazon, Amazon may use cookies and other technologies in accordance with its own policies.
If we participate in an affiliate programme, additional tracking may apply when you follow an affiliate link. Where applicable, we will identify such relationships as required.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, loss, misuse or disclosure.
If you are concerned about how we use your personal information, please contact us first: sales@linuxbooks.org.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.
We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will be published on LinuxBooks.org.

Linux Books sells products including:
Some books displayed on LinuxBooks.org may not be available for direct purchase from us. In these cases we may provide a link to Amazon or another third-party retailer.
We take reasonable care to ensure that product descriptions, images, prices and other information are accurate.
Images are provided for illustration and colours or appearance may vary slightly depending on your screen or the physical printing process.
Before purchasing digital content, please check that your device and software can open the relevant format.
Our ebooks are normally supplied in PDF format. Audiobooks may be supplied in MP3, M4B or another format specified on the relevant product page.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your device supports the format described on the product page, except where the digital content itself is faulty or has been incorrectly described.
When you place an order through LinuxBooks.org, you are making an offer to purchase the products in your order.
A contract is formed when we accept your order, normally by sending an order confirmation or making purchased digital content available to you.
Prices shown on LinuxBooks.org are in pounds sterling unless otherwise stated. Applicable delivery charges will be displayed before checkout.
Digital products are normally supplied electronically following successful payment.
This may be by:
Consumers normally have a 14-day cancellation period for distance contracts. Different rules apply where digital content is supplied immediately.
Where you ask us to provide digital content during the cancellation period, we will ask you to expressly consent to immediate supply and acknowledge that your right to cancel will be lost once downloading or streaming begins.
Once supply of digital content has begun with your prior express consent and acknowledgement, you will no longer have the statutory right to cancel simply because you have changed your mind.
This does not affect your statutory rights if the digital content is faulty, not as described or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of applicable consumer law.
If you have purchased a digital product but are unable to download or access it, please contact us at sales@linuxbooks.org.
Unless stated otherwise, digital products purchased from Linux Books are licensed to you for your own personal, non-commercial use.
You must not, without permission:
Buying a digital product does not transfer ownership of copyright or other intellectual property rights in the content.
Physical books will be delivered to the delivery address supplied when you place your order. Delivery charges and available delivery methods will be displayed during checkout where applicable.
If you are a UK consumer purchasing online, you normally have the right to cancel your order for physical goods within 14 days beginning the day after you receive the goods.
To cancel, contact: sales@linuxbooks.org.
After notifying us of your cancellation, you must return the goods within 14 days. Unless the product is faulty or incorrect, you are responsible for the cost of returning unwanted goods.
Where a valid cancellation applies, we will refund the price paid for the goods together with the cost of our standard delivery option where required by law.
If you selected a more expensive delivery service, we are not required to refund the additional amount above our standard delivery charge.
All products supplied by Linux Books are subject to your statutory consumer rights.
If a physical book or digital product is faulty, damaged, not as described or otherwise does not conform to the contract, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
Where a product page contains a link to Amazon or another third-party retailer, clicking the link takes you to an external website.
If you purchase the book from Amazon or another third-party retailer, your purchase is made from that retailer and not from Linux Books.
The third-party retailer's prices, payment arrangements, delivery terms, returns policy, privacy policy and terms and conditions will apply.
Some external links may be affiliate links. If Linux Books receives a commission or other benefit from qualifying purchases made through a link, we will provide an appropriate disclosure where required.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay.
Linux and the names and logos of Linux distributions, software projects, publishers and other third parties may be trademarks of their respective owners.
References to third-party products or projects are descriptive and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Our books are provided for informational and educational purposes.
Computer software, Linux distributions, websites and technical procedures change over time. Commands, screenshots, menus, web addresses or software features may therefore differ after publication.
You should maintain appropriate backups before making significant changes to a computer, operating system or storage device.
Unless stated otherwise, the text, graphics, book content, website content, branding and other original material made available by Linux Books are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful for us to do so, and nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.
We will not be responsible for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control, but we will take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of any delay.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The Terms applying to your purchase will normally be those in force when your order was placed.
These Terms and any contract between you and Linux Books are governed by applicable UK law.
