This Privacy Policy applies to Hope Through Faith Christian Ministry (hereinafter, "we", "us", or "Hope Through Faith Christian Ministry"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide through our website. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through our website and does not apply to the collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy sets forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website. Depending on your activities when visiting our website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

We keep this Privacy Policy posted on our website and you should review it frequently, as it may change from time to time without notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy. When you access our website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, or to any changes we may subsequently make, immediately stop accessing our website.

1. Information We Collect
   Our website typically collects two types of information about you: information you provide that personally identifies you; and information that does not personally identify you, which can be automatically collected when you visit our website.
   1. Personally Identifiable Information: Our definition of personally identifiable information includes any information that may be used to specifically identify or contact you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, etc. As a general policy, to facilitate the use of certain features of the Hope Through Faith Christian Ministry website content, you must provide personally identifiable information when registering or subscribing.
   2. Non-Personal Information: Our definition of non-personal information is any information that does not personally identify you. Non-personal information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous. We obtain non-personal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information. We also automatically collect certain non-personal information from you when you access our website. This information can include, among other things, IP addresses, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.), the third party website from which your visit originated, the operating system you are using (e.g., Windows, Mac, Chrome, etc.), the domain name of your Internet Service Provider, the specific areas of our website you visit, and the duration of your visit.
2. How We Use & Share the Information Collected
   
   1. Personally Identifiable Information: The personally identifiable information you submit through our website is generally used to carry out your registration or subscription to certain Hope Through Faith Christian Ministry website content. In the event you have chosen to become a Hope Through Faith Christian Ministry Member or Subscriber, the personally identifiable information you submit will be used to identify you as a Hope Through Faith Christian Ministry Member or Subscriber and to facilitate your access to Membership and/or Subscriber Benefits. We may also use this information to contact you for a variety of reasons, such as customer service, providing you promotional information about our ministry, or to communicate with you about the services we have provided.

      In certain instances we may also share your personally identifiable information with our third party vendors performing functions on our behalf or on behalf of our affiliated companies (e.g., vendors that process credit card orders, and other companies who provide us marketing or promotional assistance, analyze our data, assist us with customer service, etc.). Our vendors agree to use this information, and we share information with them, only to carry out our requests. Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, your personally identifiable information will not be shared or sold to any third parties without your prior approval.

   2. Non-Personal Information: We use non-personal information in a variety of ways; including to help analyze site traffic, understand customer needs and trends, carry out targeted promotional activities, and to improve our services. We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others. We may share your non-personal information with our affiliated companies and third parties to achieve these objectives and others, but remember that aggregate information is anonymous information that does not personally identify you.
3. Other Uses & Information
   
   1. IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you "surf" the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When visitors request pages from our website, our servers typically log their IP addresses. We collect IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report non-personal aggregate information to others, and to track the use of our website. IP addresses are considered non-personal information and may also be shared as provided above. We reserve the right to use IP addresses and any personally identifiable information to identify a visitor when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our website policies or to: fulfill a government request; conform to the requirements of the law or legal process; protect or defend our legal rights, property, website, or other users; in an emergency to protect the health and safety of our website's users or the general public.
   2. Cookies: "Cookies" are small text files from a website that are stored on your hard drive by your Internet Browser. These text files make using our website more convenient by, among other things, saving your preferences for you. Cookies themselves do not typically contain any personally identifiable information. We may analyze the information derived from these cookies and match this information with data provided by you or another party.

      If you are concerned about the storage and use of cookies, you may be able to direct your Internet Browser to notify you and seek approval whenever a cookie is being sent to your hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your hard drive through your Internet Browser or other programs.

   3. Email Communications: If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personally identifiable information to respond, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, social security numbers, or bank account information via email. However, aside from our reply to such an email, it is not our standard practice to send you email unless you request a particular service or sign up for a feature that involves email communications, we are sending you information about our other services, or you consented to being contacted by email for a particular purpose. In certain instances, we may provide you with the option to set your preferences for receiving email communications from us; that is, agree to some communications but not others.
   4. Transfer of Assets: As we continue to develop our ministry, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires any or all of our assets, the personally identifiable information and non-personal information we have about you will be transferred to and used by this acquiring entity. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be considered an asset of ours and as such may be sold or transferred to third parties.
   5. Other: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, we reserve the right to disclose any personally identifiable information or non-personal information about you if we are required to do so by law, with respect to copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims, or if we believe that such action is necessary to: fulfill a government request; conform with the requirements of the law or legal process; protect or defend our legal rights, property, website, or other users; in an emergency to protect the health and safety of our website's users or the general public.
4. Public Forums

We may use personally identifiable information and non-personal information about you to indentify you with a posting in a public forum. Any information you share in a public forum is public information and may be seen or collected by anyone, including third parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose to publicly post or share through our website's public forums.
5. Keeping Your Information Secure
   We have implemented security measures we consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
