Privacy Policy

Do I have to give personal information about myself in order to view the site?

No. You can visit the site without telling us who you are or giving other personal information. If you choose to request a free video or book, you will be asked to provide your name and address in order for the item to be delivered. We regard this information as confidential and use it only for the purpose of sending you the item and verifying that you received the item.

What are "cookies?" Do you use them?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your browser when you visit a Web site. A cookie does not identify you personally; it simply identifies your browser and tracks the settings, preferences, or features you choose on a particular site. When you return to the site, your browser sends the cookie to the Web server. A cookie is not harmful to your computer in any way. It cannot be used to spread viruses, nor can it read your hard drive to obtain personal information about you. It is a text file that you can delete at any time.

In our continuing efforts to improve users' site experience, we use cookies to help us provide pages and features that are most compatible with your browser and that match your preferences.

Do you log user IP addresses?

Yes. When users request pages from this site our servers log their current IP address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it accesses the Internet. As with other logging devices, information gathered in this manner may be used to improve site administration.

Do you use statistical tracking software to record the activity of site visitors?

Yes. The Church has contracted with a third-party service provider to help track and analyze usage and volume statistical information from our site. This service provider collects general summaries of site activities and does not collect personal information from our visitors. This statistical information is owned by the Church and is used only to improve the site's quality.

If I ask a question, will you put my name on an e-mail list?

No, not unless you specifically request to be placed on a mailing list. You may at any time request correction of your e-mail address, or removal of your e-mail address from our list.

Do you sell personal information gathered on this site to other organizations?

No.

Do you collect personal information from children?

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. Children under 18 are advised to obtain permission from their parents before they send any information about themselves or others.

How do you protect personal information provided by visitors?

This site has industry-standard security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration of the information under our control. However, because no security measures are foolproof, we cannot guarantee that information will not be lost or misused.

Please check this privacy policy frequently to view changes. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this privacy policy at any time.
