< Back Privacy Statement
Christian Homemaking is committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Statement to help you understand our practices regarding the data we collect from the users of our services. Information We Collect Christian Homemaking collects Personal Information and Anonymous Information from you when you visit our site or when you send us a communication. “Personal Information” is information that allows someone to identify or contact you, which can be, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any information about you that is connected with any of the preceding information. “Anonymous Information” means information that is not associated with or connected to your Personal Information. Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of an individual. We collect Personal Information and Anonymous Information, as explained below. Personal Information We collect Personal Information from you, such as your name, e-mail address, address, country of residence, zip code or mail code, when you sign up for services provided by Christian Homemaking. We may also collect other types of Personal Information that you provide to us voluntarily. When you choose to sign up for our services, we may collect additional financial information from you, including your credit card number, billing address (including street address, city, state, country, and zip code or mail code), and phone number. If you provide us feedback regarding our site or services, we will collect your name and e-mail address in order to send you a reply. In order to improve our services to you, we may ask you to voluntarily complete confidential surveys. We do not ask you to provide us any personally identifiable information associated with these surveys although we may associate your responses with Personal Information. If you do not wish to participate in a survey, simply decline to participate when asked. Personal Information Collected via Technology To make our services more useful to you, we use technological means to collect Personal Information from you, including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) you just came from, your browser type, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. We also use cookies or transparent GIFs to collect Personal Information from you about your use of our site or e-mails we send you. You specifically consent to our use of cookies and transparent GIFs when you use our services. An "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer Internet access provider, your IP address probably varies from session to session. We track IP addresses exclusively in combination with session cookies to analyze how our Web site is performing. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a Web site. Christian Homemaking uses both session HTTP cookies (which expire once you close your Web browser) and persistent HTTP cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our site. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable this function by changing the cookie profile on your computer’s Web browser. If you disable your cookies, however, you will not have access to certain features of our site such as "Remember My Password". Christian Homemaking does not store any Personal Information in cookies on your computer (other than the cookie itself). "Transparent GIFs" are clear electronic images that are used to track your use of our site. They help us to determine whether content on our site is effective. We also use transparent GIFs in HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails have been opened and acted upon by recipients (including any persons to which the e-mails have been forwarded). Transparent GIFs on our site collect only a limited amount of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the transparent GIF resides. This information helps us assess the effectiveness of certain communications and marketing campaigns. Personal Information Collected by Third Parties Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Privacy Statement, our Privacy Statement applies only to the use and disclosure of Personal Information that we collect while you use our services If you click on third-party advertisements or links from the Christian Homemaking site, you will leave our site and go to another site. During this process, a third party (including a third party advertising service that may provide services to an advertiser) may collect Personal Information or Anonymous Information from you, such as the URL you just came from, your browser type, and your IP address. Our display of advertisements or links to any other company or site is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such company or site (or the contents of the site). We have no control over, we do not review, and our Privacy Statement does not apply to these other companies, sites, or content, or to any collection of data after you click on an advertisement of or link to a third party. Use of Your Personal Information Christian Homemaking uses your Personal Information to provide you with access to your Christian Homemaking services. We may also send you electronic newsletters and autoresponder emails and emails to you if you have requested to receive such communications from us. We also use Personal Information to notify you about updates to our services and to respond to your questions and requests. We may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We use this Anonymous Information to perform statistical analyses of users’ collective behavior so that we may enhance the content of our services and improve site navigation. Christian Homemaking reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Information to third parties in its discretion. Disclosure of Your Personal Information Christian Homemaking does not sell, trade, or rent the Personal Information collected from our services to third parties. However, we will share your Personal Information with third parties to charge your credit card (if authorized by you), fill your order, and deliver electronic newsletters, e-mails and other services. These third parties are required not to use your Personal Data other than to provide the services requested by Christian Homemaking. You expressly consent to the sharing of your Personal Information with our contractors and third party service providers for the sole purpose of providing services to you. If you send a testimonial or comment to us, we may post it on our site or use it in advertising materials. We will attribute your testimonial to you as you desire if you notify us but initially we will post your name next to the testimonial or posting on our site or advertising materials, if provided. Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Personal Information (as described below), Christian Homemaking may disclose Personal Information if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on Christian Homemaking; or (2) protect or defend the rights or property of Christian Homemaking, its agents or users of the Christian Homemaking services. Choices Regarding Your Personal Information We offer you choices regarding some of the collecting of your Personal Information.

Should you decide to stop receiving further communications from us, you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive. If you need assistance opting out, you may let us know that you would like to opt-out by sending us a communication using our online form at http://www.christian-homemaking.com/main/contactus.htm or by sending a letter to us at: Christian Homemaking Despite your indicated communication preferences, we reserve the right to contact you via email and/or postal mail regarding your membership, subscriptions, any products or services you have requested or purchased from us, our forums, email you send to us and any updates to our Terms of Use or Privacy Statement. Security of Your Personal Information Christian Homemaking is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Information. Christian Homemaking uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology when you enter Personal Data while signing up for our services. Once you sign up for our services, Christian Homemaking requires you to enter a password to access your account information. We accept payments via PayPal which encrypts your Personal Information when collecting your credit card information for online purchases. To verify that you have a secure server connection, look for the locked padlock symbol at the bottom of your browser window. Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Statement, Christian Homemaking limits access to Personal Information in electronic databases to those persons (including employees and contractors) of the Christian Homemaking organization that have a business need for such access. Even though Christian-Homemaking has taken steps to ensure that your Personal Information is not intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed by unauthorized persons, you should know that Christian Homemaking cannot eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information.
