By way of further example:
Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the
registration form. During registration a user is required to give their full
contact information. This information is used to evaluate the application and
contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest. In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with
information from 3rd party sources. For example, to determine if our customers
qualify for our service as an ISO, we use the name, driver's license, and
social security number to request a credit report for use in evaluating the
creditworthiness of the applicant.
Order
We request information from consumers making purchases from
our registered merchants within our shopping cart and order processing
interfaces. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and
shipping address), financial information (like credit card number, expiration
date), and identity information (like social security number or Federal Tax
ID). This information is used to fill customer's orders, for billing purposes,
and to verify the identity of the consumer to protect against fraud. If we have
trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch
with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site,
track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We partner with other parties to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services. These parties are not allowed to use use nonpublic personally identifiable information except for the
purpose of providing these services. We do not otherwise disclose nonpublic
information to anyone, except as permitted by law.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we, DiscountBible.org are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site. Operators may be subject to the FTC's privacy
regulations and if so, (i)
the FTC's regulations contain sample disclosures that operators may consider;
and (ii) operators may be required to send annual notices in addition to
initial disclosures to their customers.
Security
This website takes precautions to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order
form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number,
social security number, and/or Federal Tax ID), that information is encrypted
and is protected with SSL encryption software. 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 you are just 'surfing'. While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to
re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any
time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind
a locked door or cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to [email protected]
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. We may
close your account and/or refuse additional services if Members un-subscribe from service announcements,
which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the
user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their
account via email, fax, or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s nonpublic personally identifiable information changes
(such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal
data provided to us. This can usually be done by calling our headquarters at (888) 506-0208 or by emailing
our Customer Support Department at [email protected] for more instructions.
Opt-out requirements:
As provided in this policy, we only provide your nonpublic
personal information to a nonaffiliated third party in conjunction with the
services that you have requested that we provide to you. All nonaffiliated
third parties to whom we disclose your nonpublic personal information are
contractually prohibited by us to disclose or use the information other than to
carry out the transactions that you have requested. Accordingly, there is
nothing for a user to opt out of with respect to how we currently use their
non-public personal information.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at
any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users
by way of an email or US mailing so as to enable users to "opt-out"
if we use their information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
