Privacy Policy
The network of Web Sites (collectively, the "CMG
Web Sites") operated by Christian.com Media Group, Inc., or its affiliates or subsidiaries
("CMG" or "Christian.com Media Group"), is comprised of various Web sites and Web pages. Christian.com Media Group,
Inc. (CMG) is committed to maintaining your trust and confidence.
The following online privacy policy is intended to protect and secure
the personally identifiable information (any information by which
you can be identified) you provide to us online.
Anti-spam Policy
We are committed to helping fight unwanted email ("spam").
We will never send spam email, and we will never sell or give your
email address to anyone, PERIOD. If you have received spam from a
made-up (i.e., "spoofed") Christian.com email address, rest assured it did not originate from us, nor
do we have anything to do with the e-mail you received. If you think
you received spam from a legitimate Christian.com email user, forward
a copy of the email you received to ToReportSpam @Christian.com (no
space), and we will research to see if it is from a legitimate Christian.com
email user, and take appropriate action if necessary.
Awareness
CMG provides this online privacy policy to inform you of the way
your information is collected and used as well as to make you aware
of our security practices. We also provide you with the opportunity
to remove your name from our email mailing list, if you desire
to do so.
Information We Collect
There are three different ways in which we collect information from
visitors on CMG Web Sites:
1. From online requests for information (i.e. e-mail
newsletters, contact forms, etc.); 2. From online requests for materials
or orders from us (i.e.purchasing a product, or committing your life
to Christ.); From user-submitted information for possible inclusion
on the website (i.e., Life Stories or church information).
The information we collect online may include name,
address, city, state, ZIP/postal code, telephone number, e-mail address,
and, in the case of online shopping, credit card number and expiration
date. In order to continuously improve our service to you and tailor
our future communications to you, we may also ask you to provide
us with information regarding your demographics, comments, professional
interests, and contact preferences.
How the Information is Used
CMG uses your information to understand your needs and provide you
with better online service. We may use your information to complete
a transaction or to personalize our Web site for you. If you so
desire, we may also use this information to update you on projects
and activities. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing
and are not retained for any other purposes. We also provide you
the opportunity to remove your name from our email mailing list,
if you desire to do so. Please review the corresponding section
of this privacy policy below.
In addition, CMG will not send you e-mail that you
have not agreed to receive. We may periodically send you e-mail announcing
news. If you choose to supply your postal address in an online form,
you may receive mailings from us as well.
No Sharing of Personal Information
CMG never sells, rents, leases or exchanges your personal information
with other organizations. CMG assures you that the identity of
all who contact us through this Web site will be kept confidential.
CMG may occasionally send mailings on behalf of other organizations
or ministries when their interests align with CMG. Use of your
personal information will be limited to further the activities
of CMG and its partner organizations.
Security
CMG is committed to ensuring the security of your personal information.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure
the proper use of information, we have established and implemented
appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect online.
