Information Collected Directly From You

 

You can visit our Websites without entering any personal information. However, in order to access certain information or to take advantage of special activities, programs or promotional offers, services or features that may be contained on the Websites, or to purchase any products or services we may require you to provide certain personal information. For example, we will collect certain personal information if you if you subscribe to any of our email or mobile content delivery programs, or if you choose to write and/or rate reviews of various products.

In certain instances, other demographic data may be collected. We use this information to provide benefits and/or services associated with our various programs. We may also receive on our Websites user-generated content, which may include personal information, including but not limited to, user-created book, music and movie reviews. This user-generated content may be collected by us and posted on our Websites. Further information regarding user-generated content is available in the Terms of Use located at: www.thelegacyofjesus.org/terms_of_use .

 

 

Information Collected Automatically

 

We, like most web sites automatically collect information when you visit to a web site such as what pages you view, the number of bytes transferred, the links you click, the materials you access, and other actions taken. We may also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and capabilities and language, your operating system, the date and time you access our web site, and the website from which you linked to ours. From time to time, we may use this information to optimize third-party offers of products and/or services to thank you for visiting us.

Additionally, nearly all service providers (ISPs) such as AOL or MSN collect your click-stream data and other preference information. We do this to improve the design and vendor selections. Click-stream data represents a page-by-page history of your website usage. Your preference data includes reminder, search, and other information-related information that you submit to the site.

 

 

Our Use of Information

 

The only reason we and almost every web site collect personal information such as your first and last name, visit history, purchase history, phone number(s), valid email and residential address (zip code), and in some cases, your credit card number is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, customized shopping experience. You will not have to enter them each time you wish to access applications that require these data. When we collect your personal information, you are sharing it with us and our affiliate, future subsidiary and parent entities as mentioned above and, third parties as further described herein. In addition, we may retain and use information you share with us to send you email, direct mail, or via other methods of delivery, such as via mobile content delivery programs. If you have given us permission by not electing to "opt-out", we may also share your personal information with third parties who can offer you products and/or services that we believe will interest you. And finally, we may use your personal information to ensure compliance with our policies and applicable law.

If you have chosen to receive communications by email from us but later wish to opt-out of receiving such communications from us at any time, simply follow the instructions for doing so included in the emails.

If you would like to opt-out of receiving any program-related and other direct mail from us, please send a written request to:

Attn: Customer Care

We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to our web site, or any of our email subscription or mobile content delivery programs, such as service announcements or similar administrative or transactional messages, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them.

 

 

Aggregate Information

 

From time to time, service providers collect general, non-personal, statistical information about what a visitor does on a web site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on a web site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they click on. This information is collected through the use of technologies such as "cookies", which are discussed in greater detail in this Privacy Policy, and those described in the "Information Collected Automatically" section above. We and our service providers collect this information in order to determine which area of a site is most popular to enhance the site. We and our service providers may also group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of a web site to existing or potential business partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request.

The Legacy of Jesus is committed to providing every opportunity we can to our visitors or subscribers so we and our contracted suppliers and service providers may share aggregated demographic and site preference data with other service providers or third parties to enable the provision of targeted information and/or discounts on products for you. This information represents a generic overview of our users' collective viewing habits and allows our vendors to offer good deals based on user traffic.

Our web site uses both session ID cookies used to make it easier for you to navigate the site(s). Session ID cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove them by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file. Persistent cookies are set to store an encrypted link to your account information, so you don't have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target your interests to enhance your experience on the site(s).

Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of the Websites.

You may occasionally get cookies from our business partners (e.g., advertisers, tracking utilities) or other third parties with links on the Websites. We have no control or access to these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry. For the sake of clarity, this Privacy Policy covers the use of our cookies and private label sub-domains delivered by us only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Our web site may also contain electronic images known as web beacons sometimes called single-pixel gifs that allow us to count the number of users who have visited those pages.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, personal information you provide to us through our web site, or any of our email subscription or mobile content delivery programs, will not be shared outside of us and our service providers without your permission.

Disclosure regarding service providers.

Security

 

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personal information and require our service providers to do the same. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet, and there is always some risk in transmitting information electronically. The personal information we collect is stored within databases that we control directly or through our service providers. As we deem appropriate, we use security measures consistent with industry standards, such as firewalls and encryption technology, to protect your information. However, since there is no such thing as an impenetrable security system, no one we can guarantee the security of their databases, and neither can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Of course, any information you post to any message board, discussion group, or other public posting area on our web site is available to anyone with Internet access.

If you create an account on our web site you will be asked to choose a password to access your account, in which case your online account information shall be protected by your password. We recommend that you do not disclose your password to any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to familiarize themselves with the privacy statements of every website that collects personally information.
