Use carefully before you use this website. If you do not agree with our

Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY
We are
strongly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal
information. Heritage Fellowship Church adheres to the highest standards of
ethical practices in all of our operations and is dedicated to
protecting the privacy of all visitors to our website.
Log Files
Like
most websites, this website logs your IP address, browser type, hits on
particular pages and other general traffic information. This
information is not linked to personally identifiable information and
you remain anonymous.
Use of Personal Information
We
collect and store personal information from you that you enter onto the
website. For instance, we take your e-mail address when you sign up
for a newsletter and we take information for online giving. If you
give us personal information, we will not share that information with
any third party, except to the extent necessary to complete
transactions or if we believe that it is appropriate to share such
information in order to comply with the law, to enforce or apply the
Privacy Policy or Terms of Use or to protect the rights, property or
safety of the website, any user of the site, Heritage Fellowship Church or any
of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliated
organizations.
Cookies
We never use or
install spyware on your computer, nor do we use spyware to retrieve
information from your computer. Like many websites, however, we use
"cookies", which are files stored on your computer's hard drive by your
browser. A "cookie" is a file that is sent from a web server to your
web browser and placed on your computer. When you initially visit the
website we create a cookie for your computer and then use it to track
your clicks as you go through the site. There is no personal
information stored within the cookie itself and we cannot use cookies
to retrieve personal information about you or from your computer. While
your activity may be tracked while you are at our website, we do not
use cookies to track your activity before or after you leave the site.
We use cookies to keep your style preferences for the layout of the
site, to track items you put into your shopping cart from our online
bookstore and to maintain an active connection for our administrators
on the database. We also use cookies if users specify that they want
the site to "store" their login information.
Posting of Personal Information
Please
be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
online - for example, in a posted testimony, on a message board or
through email - that information can be collected and used by others.
By disclosing personal information online, you may make that
information available to others who will use it to send you unsolicited
messages or for other purposes you may not desire or intend.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
While
our website is not subject to COPPA, we love children and understand
that it is very important to maintain their privacy. Therefore, our
policy is that we will not knowingly collect, use or distribute to
third parties any personally identifiable information from any child
under 13 years old without verifiable parental consent and not
knowingly allow any child under 13 years old to publicly post or
distribute personally identifiable information without verifiable
parental consent.
Security
We exercise great
care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC
to our servers. Personal information collected by our website is
stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the
public. In many instances, such as in the case of credit card numbers
and all on-line purchases, your personal information is encrypted
before you conduct your transaction. Only those employees who need
access to your personal information are allowed access. To protect the
security of your financial information during transmission, we use
software that encrypts any financial information you input. While we
try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it,
no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Links To or From Another Website?
This
website may contain links to other websites operated by third parties.
Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy
do not apply to information gathered through these other websites.
These other sites may also send their own cookies to you, collect your
data or solicit your personal information. Always be aware of where
you end up. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies
of third parties and other websites. We encourage you to be aware of
when you leave this website and to read the privacy policies of each
and every website that you visit.
Changes to This Policy
As
our website continues to develop, we may add new services and features
to our website. In the event that these additions affect our Privacy
Policy, this document will be updated appropriately. We will post
those changes prominently so that you will always know what information
we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will
disclose it to anyone. We do, however, recommend that you read this
Privacy Policy each time you use our website in case you missed our
notice of changes to the Privacy Policy.
