Collection of Personal Information

While on the TC Press site, you may be asked to provide certain information by submitting an online form. When you submit personal information, you understand and agree that TC Press may transfer, store, and process your information in order to provide a service to you. TCP will never sell your information to other companies.

Secured Transactions Policy

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information. SSL encrypts your order information to avoid the decoding of that information by anyone other than TC Press. To check the security of your connection, look at the address bar of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters will change from "http:" to "https:".

Information We Collect & How We Handle It

When you make an online purchase, the information you provide allows us to process and fulfill your order, and to notify you of your order status. We need to know your name, email address, billing and mailing addresses, which are stored along with a record of the products you purchase. We also need to know your credit card number and expiration date. This information is used only to process your order. Once an online order has been confirmed, your credit card is not reused.

TC Press strives to protect online customer information in the same manner we protect customer information collected through telephone, mail or fax sales. We keep confidential any information entered during ordering and registration. When customers purchase books from TC Press, their shipping address is automatically added to our in-house mailing list used to inform customers of new books. Occasionally, we share our mailing list with other presses and organizations serving education professionals. If you do not want your shipping address on our mailing list, please send your request to:

Marketing Department, Teachers College Press, 1234 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027

TC Press does not share email addresses with anyone outside the Press and our fulfillment service.
