Privacy Policy | Highbeam Ministry

HighBeam Ministry

Effective 2020-01-01

We created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your information. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you about the types of information we might collect about you when you visit our Site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct that information. By using our Site, you acknowledge acceptance of this Privacy Policy in effect at that time of your use.

What Information We Collect and How We Use It

Any information we collect on our Site generally falls into the following two categories: Personally Identifiable Information and Aggregate Information. Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets us know specifically who you are. In general, you can visit our Site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personally Identifiable Information. You may however, voluntarily provide Personally Identifiable Information such as contact information including telephone number, email address, physical/mailing address; financial information including billing address, credit card, debit card, and/or bank account numbers. In such event, we might maintain a record of your contact information in a file specific to you, including such Personally Identifiable Information. We use this information to provide better service in the event you contact us again. We may share, trade, rent, license, and/or sell this information to third parties that we believe offer products and services consistent with our products and services. If you voluntarily provide us with Personally Identifiable Information, you consent to our sales, trade, rent, license, use, and storage of the information. Additionally, we may obtain supplemental Personally Identifiable Information from third parties, such as your driver license, credit card statement, and/or utility bills to verify your Personally Identifiable Information. You likewise consent to these practices. This supplemental Personally Identifiable Information will be stored in our files and may be shared and/or traded with and/or rented, licensed, and/or sold to third parties. Aggregate Information refers to information that does not by itself identify you as a specific individual. Such information would include the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or the Web site that referred you to our Site, your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web), your operating system, browser type, and any search terms that you enter on our Site. Our Web server aggregates this information in order to monitor the level of activity on our Site, evaluate its effectiveness, and improve the content of our Site in order to make your visit an easy and enjoyable experience. We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, or otherwise disclose, or use any Aggregate Information, provided that such information does not personally identify you. We do not correlate any Personally Identifiable Information with the Aggregate Information that we collect on our Site. If we do correlate any Aggregate Information to you, it will be protected like any other Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Policy.

Sharing Your Information

We may share Personally Identifiable Information you provide online with other HighBeam Ministry related entities and/or business partners that provide services to HighBeam Ministry. Where we engage third-party agents or contractors to perform services on our Site, we will require them to observe the intent of this Privacy Policy. From time to time, we may release or share any Personally Identifiable Information when we believe that such is reasonably necessary to investigate unlawful activities, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves. We may be required to provide Personally Identifiable Information in response to court order, subpoena, or government investigation. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. HighBeam Ministry, or its, if any, related entities could merge with or be acquired by another business entity, or their respective assets could be acquired. Should such a merger or acquisition occur, you should expect that we would share some or all of your Personally Identifiable Information to companies serving you and other users of our Site.

Security

Your Personally Identifiable Information is stored on our servers in the United States. We treat your Personally Identifiable Information very carefully and use our best efforts to protect your Personally Identifiable Information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your Personally Identifiable Information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your Personally Identifiable Information or private communications will always remain private. Moreover, this Privacy Policy only addresses the information that we collect from you. This Private Policy does not apply to the Personally Identifiable Information that you disclose to others, such as bidders, buyers, or sellers on the Site, or any other sites throughout the Internet. Since we are unable to control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties to whom you elect to disclose the information.

Your Choices

Your permission is always secured first. We will not use or share the Personally Identifiable Information collected on our Site in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you provided the information, including those described above, without providing you a choice whether to permit any such unrelated uses.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information

We take reasonable measures to ensure that any Personally Identifiable Information we collect on our Site is accurate, current, complete, and reliable for its intended use.

Protecting Your Information

We acknowledge your trust and are committed to take reasonable steps to protect any and all Personally Identifiable Information you provide online from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. We employ physical, electronic, and managerial processes to safeguard and secure your information.

Use of Information Obtained from HighBeam Ministry

We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your Personally Identifiable Information once we share, trade, rent, license, and/or sell your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties. We strongly encourage you to evaluate the privacy and security policies of all these third parties to determine how they may use your Personally Identifiable Information. Links to third-party Web sites may be provided solely for your information and convenience. If you use these links, you will leave our Site. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of those Web sites linked to our Site, nor do we control their content or privacy policies. We suggest that you carefully review the privacy policies of each site you visit.

Children’s Privacy Protection

We take special care to protect the privacy needs of children under the age of 13 and encourage parents to be an active participant in their child's online activities. We abide by the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other relevant laws. Our Site does not target and is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we will not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from them. If we discover personal data from a child through an adult-oriented site, we will eliminate that data.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Any updates or changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted here on our Site and contain the most recent effective date. Please check back frequently, especially before you submit any Personally Identifiable Information at our Site, to see if this Privacy Policy has changed. We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other Personally Identifiable Information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to government agencies, law enforcement agencies, or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can, and you authorize us to, disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
