Privacy Policy

Welcome to https://heraldtheword.com (the “Site”). We understand that privacy online is important to users of our Site. This statement governs our privacy policies with respect to any users of the Site (“Visitors”).

“Personally Identifiable Information”

refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains. Personally Identifiable Information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected to an identified individual.

What Personally Identifiable Information is collected?

The Site collects no other Personally Identifiable Information other than name and email, if an email is supplied. These two data elements are gathered under the Comment button on the Comment form on that page and are stored on the site. An email is optional and need only be supplied if the Visitor would like an email response to his comment.

In addition, a Visitor may directly send an email to us at the email shown at the top of any page. The email is stored on the Site’s email provider for  some indefinite period and is not used for any other purpose than to potentially respond to the email.

What organizations are collecting the information?

There are no third parties collecting any Personally Identifiable Information.

How does the Site use Personally Identifiable Information?

Personally Identifiable Information is not used for any other purpose other than to respond to any comment a Visitor may make, if that is warranted.

With whom may the information may be shared?

Personally Identifiable Information is not shared.

How is Personally Identifiable Information stored?

Personally Identifiable Information that is collected is securely stored and is not accessible except to the administration of the Site.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

Are Cookies Used on the Site?

Cookies are used by the Site only when a Visitor posts a comment under the Comment button. This is for the convenience of the Visitor so he need not resupply his name and email, if one was previously supplied, when posting a second or any subsequent comment.

How does the Site keep Personally Identifiable Information secure?

The Personally Identifiable Information of our Visitors is only accessible to the administrators of the Site. While we take reasonable measures to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and databases are subject to errors, tampering, and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that such events will not take place and we will not be liable to Visitors for any such occurrences.

How can Visitors correct any inaccuracies in Personally Identifiable Information?

Visitors may contact us to update Personally Identifiable Information about them or to correct any inaccuracies by emailing us.

Can a Visitor delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable Information collected by the Site?

Visitors may have Personally Identifiable Information deleted from the site by contacting us by email. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor’s entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted. Under no circumstances do we sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to an individual, whether deleted or not, except as described in this Privacy Policy. The Site is non-commercial and has as its only purpose to disseminate teaching from the Scriptures for the public benefit without cost.
