General
Olive Branch Mission is committed to protecting your privacy and
developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online
experience. This Privacy Policy governs data collection and usage at our
Website. Please read the complete Privacy Policy below.
The purpose
of this Privacy Policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to our Website,
about:
- the kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit
our Website
- how we may use that information
- whether we disclose that information to anyone; and
- your ability to correct that information.
Please note
that this policy applies only to the Olive Branch Mission Website and not to other companies’ or
organizations’ websites to which we link. We have clearly marked our Website
with our logo so you know where this policy applies.
Information We Gather About All of Our Website
Visitors
Olive Branch Mission keeps
track of the pages our users visit within our Website in order to determine
what pages and services are most sought. This data is used to deliver
customized content and well focused information within Olive Branch Mission to users whose behavior
indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. Our service
automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency
of visitors to our Website and its areas. We
only use such data in the aggregate and not on an individual basis. This
collective data helps us determine how much our users use parts of the Website,
so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it
for as many of you as possible.
For example,
our Website may use a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us
how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people.
Olive Branch Mission
cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not
combine information collected through cookies with other personally
identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name
or e-mail address is. We also may provide statistical "ratings"
information to our Website’s partners where they exist about how our members, collectively not
individually, use our Website. We do this so that our partners too can
understand how much people use their areas of our Website and our site in order
for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience. Such ratings
information does not contain any information about you personally.
Use of Cookies
Olive Branch Mission may use
"cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie
is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies
are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the
primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you
time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Olive Branch Mission pages, or register
with our Website or for our services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording
your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and
so on. When you return to our Website, the information you previously provided
can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Website features that you
customized.
You have the
ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if
you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully
experience the interactive features of the Olive Branch Mission Web site.
Information About You
Sometimes,
we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a
service, make a donation or when you order a product. Olive Branch Mission does not sell, rent or lease its
user lists to third parties. We do, however, need certain information --
such as name, age, Internet address or screen name, billing address, type of
computer, credit card number -- in order to process donations or provide specific services to
you. We may also use that information to let you know of programs and services which you might be interested in supporting. You can choose not to
receive such information if you don't want to by letting us know on the
registration screen when you sign up. We may ask
you for information about your interests so that both you and we can take
advantage of the interactivity of the online medium, but you may always choose
to respond or not. Additionally, we may provide you with an opportunity to be
listed in a directory on one of our Olive Branch Mission-branded services. These listings are
also optional and you can make changes to or eliminate this information when
you want to.
Olive Branch Mission does not
associate sensitive data, such as your race, religion, or political
affiliations, with personally identifiable information. Olive Branch Mission takes precautions
to segregate any sensitive data you may provide on our Website and any services
that reference your race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity or political
affiliations.
Securing Your Personal Information
Olive Branch Mission secures
your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Olive Branch Mission
secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers
in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. Personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted
to other websites through the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted
protection.
Third Party Disclosure and Protection
We do not
use or disclose information about your individual visits to our Website or
information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or
telephone number, to any outside organizations. However, we may share with our
Website partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about
the use of our Website. Olive Branch Mission may share data with trusted partners to help us
undertake mailings or perform statistical analysis. All such third parties are prohibited from using
your personal information except to provide these services to Olive Branch Mission, and they are
required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
The Olive Branch Mission
Website will never disclose your personal information without notice unless it
is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to:
- conform to the law or comply with legal process served on Olive Branch Mission or our
Website;
- protect and defend the rights or property of Olive Branch Mission or our Website;
and
- act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of
users of Olive Branch Mission’s services, our Website, or the public.
Children On The Web
Olive Branch Mission takes
special care to protect the safety and privacy of children using our services. We
do not specifically collect information about children and believe that
children should get their parents' consent before giving out any personal
information. We encourage you to participate in your child's experience in
cyberspace and to review our important safety tips before your child explores
the Internet. Olive Branch Mission also recommends that parents use Web filtering technology to
supervise their kids' access to the Web.
Olive Branch Mission Web site Privacy Policy Changes
Olive Branch Mission will occasionally
update this Privacy Policy to reflect company and user feedback. When we post
changes to this Privacy Policy, you will see the word "updated" next
to the Privacy Policy link on the front page of our Website. If there are
material changes to this Privacy Policy or in how Olive Branch Mission will use your personally
identifiable information, then Olive Branch Mission will prominently post such changes prior to
implementing the change. Olive Branch Mission encourages you to periodically review this Privacy
Policy to be informed of how Olive Branch Mission is protecting your information.
