When you fill out these forms, you will be asked to provide personal information about yourself such as your name, address, phone number, email address and/or other such information. When you fill out one of these forms and submit it to us, the information you provide is retained by Early Reading.

• The product purchase pages on this web site also collect personal information from you when you order products from us such as your name, address, phone number, email address and/or other such information. All information you provide when you purchase products, except credit card information, is retained by Early Reading Company. *Note: The credit card information you submit may not be read by Early Reading Company because it is encrypted.
