Privacy Policy
We are very sensitive to the privacy of internet users who visit this site. Therefore, we endeavor to provide users all information regarding our identity, how we use personal information that is collected, how to contact us, and how they can access and update their personal information. We also inform users of all potential recipients of the personal information. We do not use any personal information for purposes beyond those stated herein.
Our Identity and How to Contact Us
This site is owned and operated by Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Users can contact us via the Contact link on the bottom of the home page of this site.
Personal Information: Collection and Use
Personal Data. This site collects information from users only on a voluntary basis in the following categories and never discloses the information except as provided herein: name, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Information is provided voluntarily by users and is used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the “Church”) only to the extent necessary to respond to queries from users. We regard this information as confidential and do not use it for any other purpose, sell it to other parties, or disclose it to any third party (except to legal entities affiliated with the Church as needed to maintain this site or respond to user inquiries). Users can correct their personal information by contacting us via the Contact link on the bottom of the home page of this site.
Site Activities: Collection and Use of Other Data
We may contract with a third-party service provider to help track and analyze usage and volume statistics on this site. In that case, the third-party service provider will not collect personal information from site visitors, but only general summaries of site activities. This information is used only to improve the site’s quality. Such third-party services may use cookies and clear gifs (as explained below), neither of which contain personally identifiable information, to help in tracking and analyzing site usage information.
Cookies and Clear Gifs. In our effort to improve users’ site experience, the site may use cookies and clear gifs to provide pages and features that are most compatible with users’ preferences. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a browser when a user visits a website. A clear gif is a graphic file, rather than a text file, that is similar in function to a cookie. Cookies and clear gifs do not identify the user personally; they simply identify the type of browser a user is using and track the settings, preferences, or features of that browser.
Internet Protocol (“IP”) Addresses. When users request pages from this site, our servers may log their IP address in order to improve site administration. This information, along with the other information listed above, can also be used to produce usage statistics to help us better meet the needs of users.
Protecting Information
This site is equipped with security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of the information under our control. We cannot guarantee that information will not be lost or misused, but we make every effort to ensure that it is secured to avoid such problems.
Foreign Transfer of Data
This site is designed for use by U.S. residents and its use is governed by Utah law (please see the Rights and Use Information, to which you must agree if you use this site). If you are not a U.S. resident, you can use this site, but you are responsible for making sure that your actions comply with the laws in your area, to the extent those laws attempt to govern use of this site. When you submit information through this website, we understand that your action is an affirmative act, indicating informed consent to the processing as well as informed consent to allow the transborder transfer of the data to the U.S. for the purposes outlined above. If you submit any personal information about yourself or others, including information inferring or demonstrating religious beliefs, affiliations, or practices, you alone are responsible for the consequences of making this transfer of personal information.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Children under 13 wishing to submit personal information to the site are advised to have their parents submit any requests using the parents' own personal data.
Third-Party Links
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party sites. For your own protection, you should review the policies of similar sites to ensure they meet your personal expectations of privacy.
Future Changes to Privacy Policy
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of the Privacy Policy at any time. As we do not typically use personal information except as provided for above, we are not in a position to notify each user of material changes in our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to check the Privacy Policy to remain informed of any changes.
