Privacy Policy Greetings from Prayer of the Day
and welcome to our site! We extend the following information to assure you,
our guest, that we are concerned about and respect your privacy while visiting our Web site. Prayer
of the Day will never sell, lease or rent your confidential
information. However, if it is necessary, we will share information for legal reasons. We will always endeavor to take steps to assure that any information you provide to us will
remain secure. We want you to feel safe in your online
experience while visiting our site. We therefore request that you take a moment to review the following valuable information.
Collection of Information
Prayer of the Day does not collect personal information without
your knowledge during your visit to our Web
sites.
However, Prayer of the Day does at times ask that you provide us with personal information while online. The type of information we collect typically, but not always, corresponds directly
with the service you request. For instance, you can make donations, when
requested you can offer your thoughts, opinions, prayers, concerns, ideas, personal experiences, questions and/or suggestions to our resources, contests, or you can request
that a resource be sent to you directly from our Online Resource
Center. As a visitor, the personal information you provide may also be used to improve the usability of, and information available on, our sites. In other words, at times we will
ask you for more information, beyond just your name and
contact information, than is needed to facilitate our response to your specific request. Your provision of such additional information is your acknowledgement that you consent to
our use of such information to better serve you, our
visitor, and others coming to our sites. We also have a Privacy Policy for Children that parents may be interested in reviewing.
Prayer of the Day does not sell, lease or rent your confidential information.
However, we may need to disclose
personal information as required by law,
such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, search warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request, to enforce our Terms of
Service, or site rules; or to protect the safety and security
of our visitors and our sites.
