PRIVACY POLICY
PRAISE CALENDAR (www.praisecalendar.com) is committed to helping you make the most of your free time on the internet within a trusted environment. This privacy policy discloses how we collect, protect, use and share information gathered about you on our web site. We hope that this disclosure will help increase your confidence in our sites and enhance your experience on the internet.
What type of information is PRAISE CALENDAR collecting, and how is it being collecting?
The majority of products and services on our sites are offered without our collecting any personally identifiable information from you. You can surf PRAISE CALENDAR and view much of our content anonymously. (For instance, you can search events without giving out any personally identifiable information.)
Information You Provide
There are a few activities on our sites where the collection of personally identifiable information is necessary. Those activities include things like entering a contest or sweepstakes, making a purchase, or contacting us. When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you will have to fill out a form. When you make a purchase, we also collect your street and billing addresses, your phone number, and credit card information. Depending on what you purchase, we may also need to collect other personal information, like your clothing size.
What Are Cookies, and How Does PRAISE CALENDAR use Them?
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site sends to your computer while you are viewing the Web site. These pieces of information allow the Web site to remember important information that will make your visit of that site more useful. PRAISE CALENDAR and other internet companies use cookies for a variety of purposes. For instance, PRAISE CALENDAR uses cookies to remember and process the items in your shopping cart.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to some PRAISE CALENDAR features that make your Web experience more efficient -- like the features mentioned above -- and some of our services will not function properly.
How does PRAISE CALENDAR use the personally identifiable information that has been collected?
PRAISE CALENDAR uses personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways. We use the information to complete transactions. For instance, if you purchase a ticket on PRAISE CALENDAR, we use your information to process your order, or if you contact us for help we will use the information to contact you. We use information collected to notify you if you've won a game or contest. Information we collect is used to send you e-mail updates and newsletters about our sites. We also use the information you provide to send you PRAISE CALENDAR e-mail promotions and special offers from our third-party sponsors.
Does PRAISE CALENDAR share information with companies or other organizations that are not part of the PRAISE CALENDAR family of sites?
One of the most valuable assets of our business is YOU. We will not give or sell your information. However, if there is a value for our guests, we will share your information or send you messages on behalf of another company as described below. We will also share information for security reasons.
Companies Offering Promotions, Products, or Services
On occasion, we offer promotions -- like sweepstakes or free subscriptions in conjunction with a sponsor. We will share your information with the sponsors if they need it to send you a product, such as a magazine subscription. We may share your information with those sponsors so that they can send you other special promotions they offer, but only if you give us your permission to do so, and we will share it only with that specific sponsor. In addition, PRAISE CALENDAR occasionally sends e-mail promotions out to our guests on behalf of third-party sponsors. In this instance, we don't share your name with the third party -- we do the mailing for them. Again, we only send these promotions to you if you've given your permission.
Content Partners
On some of our sites, we provide content that is created by a third-party partner Web site. For instance, we provide search engines to third parties. In some instances the third-party sites will collect information in order to facilitate the transaction or to make the use of their content more productive and efficient. In these circumstances the information collected is shared between PRAISE CALENDAR and our third-party sponsors.
Third-Party Advertisers and Network Advertisers
To help increase privacy protections for our guests, PRAISE CALENDAR allows advertising on our sites from only those companies that have their own privacy policy. Once you've clicked on an advertisement and have left PRAISE CALENDAR site, our privacy policy no longer applies. You must read the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on their site.
In addition, many business advertisements are managed and placed on our site by third-party companies. These companies are called "network advertisers." Network advertisers collect non-personally identifiable information when you click on or scan one of their banner advertisements. The information is collected using technology, so you may not realize its being collected. The network advertisers collect this information so that they can show you ads that are more relevant and interesting to you.
What choices do I have about PRAISE CALENDAR collecting, using, and sharing my information?
It is possible for you to use much of our site without giving us any personally identifiable information. When you do register with us or give us personally identifiable information, you will have an opportunity at the time we collect your information -- to limit e-mail communications from PRAISE CALENDAR and from our third-party partners. You can request at any time that PRAISE CALENDAR not send future e-mail to you either by unsubscribing from the communication. Also, as mentioned above, there are ways to limit the information collected through technology -- though some of our features won't work if you decide to do this.
What type of security does PRAISE CALENDAR provide?
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. PRAISE CALENDAR takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information. When you provide credit card information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it. There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information as well. For instance, never give out your Password, since this is what is used to access all of your account information. Also, remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you finish surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.
