Privacy Policy

At Christian Financial Ministries, we place the highest priority on protecting the integrity of all of your data, your transactions, or you.

Because we gather certain types of information about the customers of Christian Financial Ministries, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.

Information
Christian Financial Ministries gathers and tracks two types of information about customers: (i) data that customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our site and (ii) aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our site. The information enables us to better tailor our content to customer's needs and helps us better understand the demographics of our audience. Christian Financial Ministries does not share information about individual customers (except as may be required by subpoena, search warrant or other legal process) with any third party who is not involved in the customers' specific transactions. Christian Financial Ministries gathers customer information in the following manner:

Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
The Christian Financial Ministries site may offer free electronic newsletters to customers. Christian Financial Ministries will gather the email addresses of customers who voluntarily subscribe. Customers may remove themselves from Christian Financial Ministries mailing lists by following the instructions contained in every dispatch.

Surveys
Occasionally Christian Financial Ministries may conduct customer surveys to better target content and services to our audience. We never share any information regarding individual customer identifiable data with any third party.

Usage Tracking
Christian Financial Ministries tracks customer traffic patterns throughout its site. However, it does not correlate this information with individual customer identifiable data. Christian Financial Ministries segments overall usage statistics according to a customer's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every customer's browser).

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. Generally, a cookie file can contain information, such as an ID, that the site uses to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Generally, a cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Christian Financial Ministries uses cookies to track customer traffic patterns (as described above), when you click on various links throughout the site. When you make a purchase, Christian Financial Ministries uses a cookie to store your ID. We do not store passwords or any personal information about you. We use this ID to identify you anonymously in our database and to track the pages you visit on our site.

Use of the Information
Christian Financial Ministries uses any information voluntarily given by our customers to enhance their experience in our site. The info is used to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our customers. As stated above, Christian Financial Ministries uses information that customers voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable customers to participate in polls and message boards. We may send out newsletters to subscribers, and occasionally send out special communications when we think customers might be interested in certain activities. Christian Financial Ministries never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers or partners. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites customers like and do not like based on traffic to those areas. Christian Financial Ministries does not track what individual customers read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

We track search terms entered into our search engine as one of many measures of what types of products our customers are looking for. We do not track which terms a particular customer enters.
