Legal Stuff


DynaMinds Publishing realizes that internet fraud is a legitimate concern, so we offer several purchasing options.  

Our shopping cart provider is Google Checkout. Google collects your credit card data -- not us -- during an on-line transaction. In fact, DynaMinds Publishing does not see your complete credit card data during on-line transactions. After a purchase and confirmation that we shipped the ordered products, Google deposits money into our bank account.

We do not sell your purchase data or email addresses. (We probably hate spammers more than you do.)

If you wish to order via the telephone using a credit card (and talk with a person,) use our toll-free number: 1-888-991-BOOK. (1-888-991-2665)  Please have your Visa or MasterCard ready.

What data do we keep?
If you purchase something from us, we do keep your email address and telephone number in case there is a problem, or a returned item.
