(1)   Site functionality cookies – these cookies allow you to navigate the site and use our features, such as “Add to Bag” and “Save for Later”.

(2)   Site analytics cookies – these cookies allow us to measure and analyse how our customers use the site, to improve both its functionality and your shopping experience.

(3)   Customer preference cookies – when you are browsing or shopping on Iqbalbookcorner.com, these cookies will remember your preferences (like your language or location), so we can make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, and more personal to you.

(4)   Targeting or advertising cookies – these cookies are used to deliver ads relevant to you.  They also limit the number of times that you see an ad and help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

By using our site, you agree to us placing these sorts of cookies on your device and accessing them when you visit the site in the future.  If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, the “help” section in your browser should provide instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.  Further information about cookies can be found at www.aboutcookies.org.  Please note that by deleting or disabling future cookies, your user experience may be affected and you might not be able to take advantage of certain functions of our site, and the complete IQBALBOOKCORNER user experience that we pride ourselves on providing our customers.

How may we use your information?

We collect all of this information from you for a number of different purposes, which we want you to understand – all of these purposes apply wherever IQBALBOOKCORNER does business, including countries outside your own.  A number of specific uses for specific data is already detailed above.  But we often need to use lots of different types of information or data collectively in order for IQBALBOOKCORNER to work and in order to be able to provide the Services to you.  These more fundamental purposes include the collective use of your information:

  • To ensure that our site’s content is presented as effectively as possible for you, and to enable you to participate in interactive features of our site, when you choose to do so – for example by providing you with more customised services and a more customised experience on Iqbalbookcorner.com through things like language-specific profile pages, updates, and content, news, style advice and/or recommendations relevant to you to customise your experience on Iqbalbookcorner.com
  • To set up, and manage your account, so you can place orders, so we can provide our products and services to you, so we can make sure that the items you order get to you (and get there on time!), so we can communicate with you about your orders and your account, so we can track potential problems and trends, and customise our support responses to better serve you – basically, this relates to the nuts and bolts of our online business.  It’s everything involved in putting the products on the website, so you can browse them and then order them, and so we can then deliver them to you and answer any questions or queries you may have. These are all the things that make IQBALBOOKCORNER tick – and that get you looking good in your choice of our products!
  • To ensure that our users are genuine and to ensure that we are paid for goods that we dispatch – for example, by using personal information, or disclosing that personal information to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, in order to confirm your identity and conduct appropriate anti-fraud checks. Any such credit reference or fraud prevention agency may keep a record of that information but please note that a formal credit check is not performed and your credit rating will not be affected.
  • To update you on our latest products, news and special offers – If you have registered with us or provided us with your email address and elected to receive marketing communications from us, we will occasionally update you on our latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, post, telephone and other means available through the Services, including mobile text messages and push notifications. You will also be given the opportunity to receive such communications from us and selected third parties. This includes if you choose to use the Facebook “like” button to indicate you like any of our pages or apps. Examples of these communications include: (1) welcome and engagement communications – informing you about how to best use IQBALBOOKCORNER, new features etc.; (2) service communications on things like service availability, security, and other issues about the functioning of IQBALBOOKCORNER; (3) promotional communications, including details of our latest sale or promotion. These messages will be sent to you based on your profile information and messaging preferences as selected by you in relation to your account.  Please keep your settings up to date or contact our Customer Care team if you wish to change any of these preferences, including unsubscribing from our mailing list.
  • To create a link to our app in your social media channels – some of our apps may give you the option to post updates to your Facebook wall or other social media channel, and to the wall of your social media friends, or to send invitations to your friends.  This may create a link to our app, dependent on your privacy settings in that social media channel.  When you send an invitation, please be aware that it may contain your social media username and profile picture so your friend knows who sent them the invitation.
  • To target IQBALBOOKCORNER or Iqbalbookcorner.com banners and ads to you when you’re on certain other websites (what’s called Digital Marketing Re-targeting) – we do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, and the banners and ads you will see will be based on your previous use of IQBALBOOKCORNER (for example, your IQBALBOOKCORNER search history, the content you read on IQBALBOOKCORNER, etc.) or on IQBALBOOKCORNER banners or ads you’ve previously clicked on.
  • To carry out polls, surveys, analysis and research on how our site is being used, customer views, what we could do better etc., – these polls, surveys, analysis and research may be conducted by IQBALBOOKCORNER, or third parties. IQBALBOOKCORNER or those third parties may follow up with you via email regarding your participation unless you have opted out of receiving email messages. We may use third parties to deliver incentives to you to participate in polls, surveys, analysis or research, and verifying your contact information, which may require your contact information and other personally identifiable information to be provided to the third party fulfilling the incentive offer.
  • To make IQBALBOOKCORNER’ products and services better and to develop new ones – IQBALBOOKCORNER uses and stores site statistical information and log data, to help it identify potential areas to improve the services we offer.

How do we share the information we collect?

We are aware that it is IQBALBOOKCORNER that you are trusting with your information, not some other company.  But, to be able to carry out our business, we do need to work with a number of third parties who are experts in their particular fields – after all, we’re good at what we do, but we’re not good at everything!  We are very careful who we share your information with, but it is important that you understand when that sharing takes place and why, and that’s what this section explains.  The limited instances where we may share your information include:

  • We share your information internally within the IQBALBOOKCORNER Group when required for our business to function: Like any big global business, IQBALBOOKCORNER is not just a single company, but instead is a group, made up of a number of different company and entities in different parts of the world.  We may therefore need to disclose your information (including your personally identifiable information) to any of our group of companies as necessary, in order to operate IQBALBOOKCORNER and to provide the Services.  As they are all part of the IQBALBOOKCORNER Group, the requirements set out in this notice apply to all of these companies, as equally as they do to IQBALBOOKCORNER.co.uk
  • We share your information externally with our core service providers when required for our business to function: Also like any big global business, IQBALBOOKCORNER relies on a number of external companies to provide it with key services, products and applications in order to be able to provide the Services.  These include for example companies who help us pick and pack orders, make deliveries, support our customers, carry out fraud protection and credit risk reduction checks, support our IT systems, help keep us secure, enable our marketing, audit whether we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing, or make sure we’re keeping the books right.  We just can’t do everything ourselves, after all, and working with experts in various fields enables us to improve our Services for you in the quickest, most efficient way. 

Each of the external companies we work with has been selected by us for their ability to provide what we need to our required specification, including their ability to handle sensitive data (like your personal information) securely and appropriately.  Each of these external companies has a contract with us, which clearly sets out our expectations and requirements in handling any of your information, and holds them fully responsible for meeting those expectations and requirements.  On that basis and only on that basis, we may therefore disclose your personal information (including your personally identifiable information) to such third parties who need to be given specific tailored access to your information to facilitate our Services by performing key tasks on our behalf, and who are obligated to only use it in line with our instructions, and not to disclose or use it for other purposes.  We are confident that we can trust those third-party service providers with your information.

  • We share your information when we’re required to comply with a legal request: to do business in all the countries that we do, IQBALBOOKCORNER is required to liaise with a number of regulators and other law enforcement agencies in each of those countries.  Whilst it doesn’t happen often, some of those regulators or agencies may legally require us to share your information with them, under law, under a court order or subpoena, or as a result of some other legal process.  If we do come under a legal or regulatory duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, we will have to share your information (including your personally identifiable information) if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply.  Having said that, we may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overboard, vague or lack proper authority.  We will also attempt to notify you about legal demands for your personally identifiable informationwhen appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.
  • We share your information where we believe it’s reasonably necessary to protect IQBALBOOKCORNER or our customers: Sadly, IQBALBOOKCORNER (like many other companies) can be the subject of attempted fraudulent or criminal activities, which does sometimes require us to take certain steps to protect both our business and our customers.  We may therefore disclose your information (including your personally identifiable information) if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) detect, investigate, prevent, take action regarding or otherwise address suspected or actual illegal activities, fraud, security or technical issues or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce or apply our terms and conditions of usage; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Service; or (5) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or safety of IQBALBOOKCORNER, our customers, or others.
  • We share your information externally with other partners when we have your consent to do so: IQBALBOOKCORNER works with a number of other partners who, whilst not essential for our business to operate, do enhance your experience with IQBALBOOKCORNER and your usage of the Services, in our opinion.  This includes our marketing partners and social media partners (like Facebook or Twitter, if you’ve chosen to link your IQBALBOOKCORNER account to those services or publish your activity on IQBALBOOKCORNER to them) as well as third parties to deliver incentives to you to participate in competitions, offers, polls, surveys, analysis or research.  We only believe in partnering with companies that we believe are right for IQBALBOOKCORNER and its customers, and that enhance our Services.  On that basis and only on that basis, we may therefore disclose your personal information (including your personally identifiable information) to such third parties who are obligated to IQBALBOOKCORNER only use it in line with our instructions, and not to disclose or use it for other purposes.  We are confident that we can trust those third-party service providers with your information.  But, as we know that people can feel strongly about their information being shared with companies when it is not essential to do, we will only do so where you have given us your consent to do that.  And if you change your mind at any time, we’ll stop that sharing as soon as we can.  More details on how to do that are set out below.
  • We may share your information externally if we are considering a corporate transaction:We are always looking at ways to make our corporate group stronger and more effective.  As a result, we may sometime consider certain corporate transactions, such as a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding.  If we were to consider such a transaction, that may involve the transfer of your information (including your personally identifiable information) solely for the purposes of enabling that transaction or proceeding to be assessed.  In the event that IQBALBOOKCORNER sells or buys any business or assets, or if IQBALBOOKCORNER or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, your personal data which we hold about our customers may be one of the transferred assets.
  • We may share aggregated non-personally identifiable information externally:We do also share certain information which, whilst not personally identifiable information relating to you, does include information that relates to your usage of our products, sites and Services, aggregated together with the same information from other users for example.  Even though this would not include your personally identifiable information, we nonetheless want you to be able to understand that level of sharing as well.  This sharing therefore happens for reasons such as these:
  • We may provide reports containing aggregated information about your activities on various pages on our websites, or what are called ‘impressions’, to companies hosting IQBALBOOKCORNER plugins and similar technologies to help them measure IQBALBOOKCORNER-generated traffic to their websites. 
  • We may share aggregated or non-personally identifiable information with our brands and other product providers. For example, we may tell brands stocked on IQBALBOOKCORNER how many people viewed or purchased one of their product lines.
  • We may disclose aggregate, anonymized statistics about the number of visitors to this site or the number of purchases made as required by our investors.

How we DON’T use your information

  • WE WILL NOT Sell your information without your consent:We will not sell your personally identifiable information – including your name, address, e-mail address, or credit card information – to any third party.  We believe this is absolutely essential to receive and repay your trust in us.
  • WE WILL NOT Share your information with third-party advertiser or ad networks:We do not currently display third party adverts on our website and, even if we did, we would not support sharing your personally identifiable information with any third-party advertiser or ad network.

How long do we keep your information for?

  • In the explanations above, we have tried to be as specific as we can about how long we keep your information for.  But in general we retain the information you provide either while your account is in existence, or as needed to be able to provide the Services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Care team) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.
  • If legally required or if it is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms and Conditions, we may also retain some of your information for a limited period of time as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the Services to you.

Your options and choices

We want you to have simple and meaningful choices over your information. While we work hard behind the scenes to protect you and your data at all times, we’re also committed to providing you with tools to further manage the privacy and security of your information yourself.

With respect to the information relating to you that ends up in our possession, and recognising that it is your choice to provide us with your personally identifiable information, we commit to giving you the ability to do all of the following:

  • You can verify the details you have submitted to Iqbalbookcorner.com by contacting our Customer Care team, or via the e-mail address or address given below.  Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal information, including your e-mail address and possibly your address.
  • You can also contact us by the same method to change, correct, or delete your personal information controlled by IQBALBOOKCORNER regarding your profile at any time.  Please note though that, if you have shared any information with others through the IQBALBOOKCORNER Social Media channels for example, that information may remain visible, even after you have deleted the information from your own account.
  • You can withdraw or modify your consent to IQBALBOOKCORNER collection and processing of the information you provide at any time. You can do this by changing your account settings.  You can access ‘Your Account’ by logging in.
  • You can link or unlink your IQBALBOOKCORNER account from an account on another service (e.g., Facebook or Twitter), also by changing your account
  • You can close your account, also through our account settings. If you close your account(s), we’ll deactivate it and will generally delete closed account information within 30 days of account closure, except as set out in this notice.  However, we may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam).  Please note though that, if you have shared any information with others through the IQBALBOOKCORNER Social Media channels for example, that information may remain visible, even after you have closed your account. 
  • You can opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time. This can be done through your account settings, by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any email communications which we might send you, or by contacting our Customer Care team.  Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive further emails.  Please note that this might take a few days for all our systems to have updated with that fact, and that you might receive a small number of emails from us while we process your request.
  • At any time, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold on our systems about you.  If you wish to do so, please contact our Customer Care team who will be able to assist you with your query.  We won’t charge you anything for this, but we might need to ask some further questions to confirm your identity before we provide any information.

You may also have choices available to you through the device or software you use to access IQBALBOOKCORNER. For example, the browser you use may provide you with the ability to control cookies or other types of local data storage, or your mobile device may provide you with choices around how and whether location or other data is shared with us.  [In particular, if online adverts are not to your liking, we would encourage you to find out more about the Do Not Track browser setting.] To learn more about these choices, please refer to your device or software provider.

Protecting your security

We are always striving to make sure your information is protected.  As soon as we receive your information, we use various security features and procedures, taking into account industry standards, to try to protect the personal information that you provide and to prevent unauthorised access to that information.  For example:

  • We also offer secure “https” access to the transactional parts of Iqbalbookcorner.com website (that is to the bits where you are required to provide Directly Provided Data). 
  • Access to your data on Iqbalbookcorner.com is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as credit card information) is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and the IQBALBOOKCORNER Services. To further secure your credit card, we also don’t keep details of the security code (or CCV number) that you need to input in order to complete an order using your credit card.
  • To protect any data you store on our servers, we regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, as well as carrying out penetration testing of our own on those systems to try to identify possible improvements.  

We will do our best to protect your personal data, however, there are also a number of things that you can help with.  You can keep your account safe by using a strong password that includes characters other than just letters.  We will also encourage you not to use the same password across all or many of your online accounts.  As emails, instant messaging, and similar means of communication are not encrypted, we also would recommend not communicating any confidential information through these means.

Changes to this Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes in the way we treat your personal information, or to the Privacy Policy, we will make that clear on the IQBALBOOKCORNER website or Services, or by some other means such as email, so that you are able to review the changes before you continue to use IQBALBOOKCORNER.
