Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from websites and online platforms owned and/or managed by Bartleby Group LLC (d/b/a Purpose in the Process and Process Your Purpose) (all such websites and platforms, collectively the “Site”).
Personal information we collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”. Separately, users of the Site can choose to enter their email address for receipt of future email messages from Bartleby Group, LLC (referred to herein as either “Bartleby Group,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We will use these email addresses to inform users of our activities, products, and announcements. You may opt-out of emails by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each email, or by emailing us at privacy@bartlebygroup.com.
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies used by the vendors we use to provide the Site and related services can be reviewed by clicking on the following links:
Squarespace: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001264507-The-cookies-Squarespace-uses
Thinkific: https://www.thinkific.com/cookies-policy
The Enneagram Institute: https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/cookie-policy
Other Cookies may be utilized by the various websites and platforms you may choose to use in the process of consuming our content and services, including, but not limited to YouTube, Apple podcasts, Spotify, and other players you may choose to utilize. You should separately review the respective privacy policies and cookie notices for each of these, and do not use them unless you agree with their terms.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Anonymous Analytics Cookies:
Every time a user visits one of our websites, web analytics software provided by a third party generates an anonymous analytics cookie. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before, data required by Bartleby Group to meets its contractual obligations. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and if you don't, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual unique users we have, and how often they visit the site, which in turn allows us to adjust content and delivery methods, if needed. These cookies cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number. You may provide information for a third party recipient in the shipping information you use for your order. When you do so, this is not information about a third party that we will use for any purpose other than to complete the shipment for that order, and therefore is not the sale of consumer information to us. We refer to all the above information as “Order Information”.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
How do we use your Personal Information?
Bartleby Group will never sell your Personal Information.
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for provision of services, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Embedded Content from Other Websites – Links to Other Websites
This Site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) as well as links to other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These third party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Make sure to check the privacy policy of any third party website to ensure you understand and agree with its terms.
Your rights
The Site is not intended for use in the European Economic Area (EEA). If you are a European resident, the Personal Information will be collected only incidentally based on your use of our Site, which is not advertised or marketed in the EEA.

Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.
Depending on where you live in the United States, you may have other important rights regarding your Personal Information. If you are a resident of some states, you may in some circumstances request that we disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about you, sources from which Personal Information was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting your Personal Information, categories of third parties with whom we have shared your Personal Information, and specific pieces of Personal Information collected about you. You also have the right to not be discriminated against because of exercising your rights. You have the right to ask that we delete your information. Contact us at privacy@bartlebygroup.com to request more specific information. All requests for information will be required to undergo a process to verify the identity of the requestor, which may include information about your address or other information, and are subject to the applicable exemptions in each state.

In the last 12 months, Bartleby Group has disclosed Personal Information in the following categories for business purposes as provided above: names, addresses, email addresses, and similar contact information shared with third party vendor providers of e-commerce support, merchant processing, order fulfillment services, and Site analytics providers.
Data retention
When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
If you leave a comment in a forum or send us the comment by email or otherwise, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on any Site, we may also store the Personal Information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information as provided by each of the third party vendor platforms we use, as provided above. Site administrators can also see and edit that information.
Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
