Information Collection and Use
Information Collection
All Bibles is the sole owner of the information collected on AllBibles.com. All
Bibles collects information from our users at several different points on our
Web site.
Registration
In order to use some beneficial services of
this Web site, a user must first complete the registration form. During
registration a user gives contact information (such as name and email address).
We may use this information to contact the user about services on our site for
which he has expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique
identifiers (such as, username and password), but encouraged so we can provide a
more personalized experience on our site.
Order
We request
information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact
information (such as name, email, billing and shipping addresses) and financial
information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.
Information Use
We do not use customer information for any commercial
purpose other than stated above. We do not share or sell customer information to
third parties.
Profile
We store information that we collect through
cookies, log files, and/or clear gifs to create a profile of our users. A
profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details
their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the
users personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the
content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit
to our Web site, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. Again, we
do not share your profile with other third parties.
Cookies
A cookie
is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the
user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session
ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A
persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an
extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet
browser help file directions.
By setting a cookie on our site, users
would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on
our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only
drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For
example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our sweepstakes,
contests or monthly drawings that may take place. Persistent cookies enable us
to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
site. See the “Profile” section.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site
servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses,
browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the
site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We may at
some time employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web
Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what
content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier,
similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of
Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible
on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of
this sentence.
Clear Gifs can "work with" existing cookies on a computer
if they are both from the same Web site or advertising company. That means, for
example, that if a person visited “www.companyX.com”, which uses an advertising
company's clear gif, the Web site [or advertising company] would match the clear
gif's identifier and the advertising company's cookie ID number, to show the
past online behavior for that computer. This collected information would then be
given to the advertising company.
In addition, we may use clear gifs in
our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the
recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications
and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out
of these emails, please see the Opt-out section.
Communications from
the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a
welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members may
occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to
not receive these types of communications.
Newsletter
If a user
wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as
name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to
opt-out of these communications.
Service Announcements
On rare
occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement.
For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might
send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications,
though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not
promotional in nature.
Customer Service
We may communicate with users
on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues
relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the
user’s wishes.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make
every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such
action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order
or legal process served on our Web site.
Third Party Advertisers
All
Bibles may share Web site usage information about users with a reputable third
party for the purpose of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on this
site and other sites. For example, [All Bibles uses cookies and may use clear
GIFs on this site, which allow them to recognize a user's cookie when a user
visits this site. The information they collect and share through this technology
is not personally identifiable.
We DO NOT Share Personal Information
with Third Parties.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use an outside
shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill
users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Business
Transitions
In the event All Bibles goes through a business transition, such
as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its
assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the
assets transferred. Users will be notified via prominent notice on our Web site
prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a
result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable
information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes
section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to
‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to
our site at the point where we ask for information. For example, our order form
has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t want
any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional
communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the
instructions in the lower section of the email.
Links
This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please be
aware that we, All Bibles, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to
read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Surveys [& Contests]
From time-to-time our site may request information from
users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to
disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users’ personally identifiable
information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and
choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests,
they may not use users’ personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for
informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email
address. All Bibles will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting
them to visit the site. All Bibles does not store this information.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our
users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site,
their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our
registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are
added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place
on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users’ information is protected.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes
(such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer
desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate
users’ personally identifiable information. This can usually be done by emailing
our Customer Support.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and/or other places we
deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to
whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if
users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated
their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal
information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material
changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site
notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also
email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of
the changes in our privacy practices.
Contact Information
If users have any questions or suggestions regarding our
privacy policy, please contact
us.
