Privacy Statement
This privacy statement is applicable to NIFAC.com and NIFAC's associate website Churchbase.20m.com.
NIFAC does not collect personally identifiable information
about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a
voluntary basis.
For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from
a contest or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for subscription sites or
services and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat and
bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling activities and transactional areas. Personally
identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred
to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection.
Furthermore, NIFAC will never compromise the integrity of confidential encrypted information
such as credit card numbers, bank acount numbers or any other information given through our secure
E-commerce tools such as shopping carts or donation systems.
At other points of collection, the user will have the opportunity to indicate whether he or
she would like to "opt out" of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other
products, services and offerings from NIFAC and/or any third parties.
Further, notwithstanding
any opt out of promotional information by the user, NIFAC reserves the right to contact a
subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters
relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
NIFAC reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure
interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such
information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their
advertising banners.
NIFAC will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third
parties. Also, users should be aware that NIFAC may sometimes permit third parties to offer
subscription and/or registration-based services through a NIFAC site. NIFAC is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable
privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.
Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally
identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin boards or
in the chat areas of NIFAC sites, that information, along with any substantive
information disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and correlated
and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters
or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of NIFAC.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be
automatically collected through the standard operation of NIFAC's Internet servers or
through the use of "cookies."
"Cookies" are small text files a web site can use to
recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the site
and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow
content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs that come
onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique
number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site.
Users should be aware that NIFAC cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by
advertisers or third parties hosting data for NIFAC. If a user does not want information
collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers
that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note
that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g.,
customized delivery of information) available on NIFAC Sites.
Upon request, NIFAC will allow any user to "opt out" of further promotional
contacts at any time. Additionally upon request, NIFAC will use reasonable
efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information previously submitted
which the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise
privacy or security interests. The foregoing policies are effective as of
January 1, 1999.
NIFAC reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying
users of the existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies
outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal
rights in or on behalf of any party.
