Privacy

We Keep Personal Information Private...

And We Limit Our Use Of Personal Information you may provide in visiting our site which falls into two broad categories: personally identifiable information, and aggregate information. “Personally Identifiable Information” is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, or mailing address. “Aggregate Information” is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the Web pages on our site that users visit most frequently. Our Privacy Policy governs both categories of information. The information we receive depends upon what you do when you visit our site, as detailed below.

We do not share with unrelated third parties any Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us. By “unrelated third parties” we mean anyone who is not directly involved in the maintenance or running of our site, or not involved in fulfilling requests you make at our site. We use Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us when you visit our site strictly for the purposes for which you have provided it. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INTERNET AND DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES, WE CANNOT, HOWEVER, PROVIDE ASSURANCES AS TO THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION, AND Foundation for Christian Studies EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH OBLIGATIONS.

Exception To Our Privacy Policy

There is an exception to our Privacy Policy in that it may be necessary for Foundation for Christian Studies to release or use Personally Identifiable Information if we in good faith believe it is appropriate in connection with legal proceedings, or in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver, or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action.

Correcting Information; Opting Out

If at any time you would like us to update or correct Personally Identifiable Information you have previously provided to us, feel free to contact us via this website, and we will update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information to the extent your request does not compromise our privacy policies. In addition, if you request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove your name and Personally Identifiable Information from any database(s) we may maintain. Please understand, however, that it may be impossible to remove this information completely, due to backups and records of deletions. If you with to remove your name from any database(s) we may maintain, please notify us in writing to this effect by using this website's contact forms.

If we use cookies, we will treat all information that may be collected through cookies and similar Internet technologies as Aggregate Information.

If You Visit Our Site To Browse Or To Read Or Download Information

We may collect and store: the name of the domain name and host from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com); the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site, and other activity on our site; and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked to our site. If we collect this information, we use it for system administration, to measure the number of visitors to our site, to improve site performance, to help us make our site more useful and/or to gather broad Aggregate Information.
