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.

through cookies and similar Internet technologies. “Cookies”

from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com);
the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are
