This Privacy Policy does not apply to Third Party Sites, and we encourage you to independently read and understand each Third-Party Site’s own privacy policies. The presence of a link to a Third-Party Site does not necessarily indicate that such Third-Party Site is sponsored by or affiliated with Faith Systems in any way.
CONSUMER PRIVACY
Cookies: Web browser applications (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Apple Safari) typically have features that prevent cookies from being sent or notify you when they are sent. You will need to update your browser’s cookie settings in accordance with your preferences. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to update each browser’s settings separately. We will respond to “Do Not Track” signals, Global Privacy Controls, or other similar mechanisms where required by applicable law.
If you are using a mobile device, you can reset your device settings to limit the use of information collected about you, including your location data. This is typically done by disabling your location settings/permissions. Please contact Apple Support or Google for Android (as applicable) for more information on how to do this on your device.
Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), on certain aspects of the Sites. We use the information provided by Google Analytics to improve our Sites and services. For more information regarding how Google collects, uses, and shares your information, please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Google provides users choices on how their data is collected by Google Analytics by developing an Opt-out Browser Add-on which can be located at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. By installing this Add-on, no information is being sent to Google Analytics.

To opt out of having your online behavior collected for advertising purposes, please visit YourAdChoices at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Choices you make are both browser and device specific.
Some services also offer their own opt-out choices for the use of cookies for analytic services, interest-based advertising, and other advertising-related services. You are encouraged to learn more about these tools if you wish to limit the use of cookies and other related services. We are not responsible for the accuracy, effectiveness, or compliance with, any third party opt-out tools and does not necessarily endorse these tools or represent that they will be suitable for your needs.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Sites are directed toward and designed for use by persons aged 13 or older. We will not establish or maintain registrations for any child whom we know to be under the age of 13, and we do not solicit or knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have received personal information from an individual who indicates that they are, or whom we otherwise have reason to believe is, under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our systems. Additionally, a child’s parent or legal guardian may request that the child’s information be corrected or deleted from our files by contacting us as provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
YOUR CHOICES
Depending on applicable state law, you may be entitled to certain choices regarding your personal information. The rights available to you depend on our reason for processing your personal information and the requirements of applicable law in the state or jurisdiction in which are you located. In the event of any inconsistency, the applicable local legislation will prevail. Depending on your request, we may require certain information from you to verify your identity and residency, prior to granting any data subject access request, including a request for access or deletion of data. This is to make sure you are properly exercising rights related to personal information belonging to you.
Specifically, you may have the following rights and can exercise them by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. Electing to exercise one of your choices listed below will not result in discriminatory treatment by us for exercising your legal privacy rights.
In addition to the above, California residents may also request (i) a list of categories of personal information disclosed to third parties during the immediately preceding calendar year for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes; and (ii) a list of the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed such information. To exercise a request, please contact us as described below and specify you are making a "California Shine the Light" request. We may require additional information from you to allow us to verify your identity and are only required to respond to requests once during any calendar year.
Where permitted under applicable law, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of an individual, you must attach a copy of the following information to the request: (i) a completed form indicating that you have authorization to act on the consumer’s behalf as their agent with respect to the consumer’s personal information; and (ii) if the authorized agent is a business, proof that you are registered to conduct business in the applicable state. If we do not receive both pieces of information, the request will be denied.
