INFORMATION USE

Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies and log files to create a| profile of our visitors. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual visitors that details their viewing preferences. Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on the visitor's computer tied to information about the visitor. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once visitors close the browser, the cookie terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the visitor's hard drive for an extended period of time, and enables us to track and target the interests of our visitors to enhance the experience on our site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. If visitors reject cookies, they may still use every part of our site. We do share information gathered though cookies with carefully selected third parties which we think our visitors may want to know about. Log Files Like most standard website servers, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track visitor's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are linked to personally identifiable information when online credit card transactions are conducted (i.e. when publications are purchased or donations made). We do share individual information gathered though log files with carefully selected third parties.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE SITE

E-Bulletins & Ads
If a visitor wishes to receive our email bulletins and Ads, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

E-Public Information Releases If a visitor wishes to receive our email public information-release service, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

SHARING

Legal Disclaimer
Though we make a good faith effort to preserve visitor privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

LINKS

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, FaithWorks International, have no control over and are not responsible for the contents or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our visitors to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

SURVEYS AND CONTEST

From time to time our site requests information from visitors via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the visitor therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and information on the visitor's interests. Contact information will be used to notify the winners and deliver prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Visitors' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties.

SECURITY

This website takes many precautions to protect our visitors' information. When visitors submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our donation/order form asks visitors to enter sensitive information (such as credit card information), that information is encrypted and is protected with one of the best encryption software programs in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when visitors are just 'surfing'. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we make every good faith effort to protect visitor information off-line. All of our visitors' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. If visitors have any questions about the security of our website, e-mail us .

NOTIFICATIONS OF CHANGES

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement so our visitors are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If, however, we are going to use visitors' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify visitors via email and won't disclose this information unless express information is granted. However, if visitors have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect visitor information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our website notifying visitors of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email visitors, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
