BOOKSONLINE.COM will only use your e-mail address to contact you about merchandise or product offerings which may be of interest to you, to contact you about your account, or for BOOKSONLINE.COM’s internal use. We make our members' names and addresses available to other carefully selected companies. If you prefer not to have your name, mailing and e-mail addresses released, please let us know by writing to: Member Service Center PO BOX 6325 Camp Hill, PA 17012-6325 or by sending an e-mail to: service@sfbc.com. While third party service providers may have access to our members information to perform fulfillment services for BOOKSONLINE.COM, information about a member’s circumstances is confidential and is treated accordingly. This includes information about our members with children. While we do offer products and a book club geared toward children, we do not solicit memberships from children but rather from their parents. Any information we do have on file relating to the children of members is used for internal purposes only in conjunction with their account.

Is it safe to enter my credit card information on the web site?

Yes. In addition to the security benefit of password authentication, we use Secure Server Software (SSL) to maintain the safety and privacy of your information.

Your credit card will be charged when your selections are shipped. Your credit card will only be charged for this order. We will NEVER charge your credit card for any purchase throughout your membership without your prior authorization. If you receive featured selections automatically, your credit card will not be charged unless you explicitly authorize us to use your card as payment.
