Privacy
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.
Use Of “Cookies”
We
may collect Aggregate Information about your use of our site through
cookies and similar Internet technologies. “Cookies” are small pieces
of information that a Web site transfers to your hard drive, where it
is stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive for
record-keeping purposes (such as storing user preferences). If we use
cookies, they do not collect or retain your name or other Personally
Identifiable Information. If we use cookies, we will treat all
information that may be collected through cookies and similar Internet
technologies as Aggregate Information. In addition, no third parties
are permitted to use cookies we may create at our site for their own
purposes. Please be advised, however, that sites you link to from our
site may use cookies. You should read and understand the privacy
policy of the site(s) you link to in order to determine whether and
how a particular site uses cookies. Most browsers are initially set up
to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or

We
may collect and store: the name of the domain name and host from which
you access the Internet (for example, aol.com); the Internet Protocol
(IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you
use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site,
and other activity on our site; and the Internet address of the Web
site from which you linked to our site. If we collect this
information, we use it for system administration, to measure the
number of visitors to our site, to improve site performance, to help
