Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP)'s Privacy Policy Your privacy is very important to Gospel Pastors, LTD
(GP) ("Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP)"). We want to make your experience using our services and on the Internet
as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools and opportunities
with complete confidence. We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security.
This Privacy Policy describes how Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) collects information from all end users of Gospel Pastors,
LTD (GP)'s Internet services (the "Services") - those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts
("Visitors") as well as those who pay a service fee to subscribe to the Service ("Users") - what we do
with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Users have concerning the collection and use of such information.
Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully. - Introduction.
Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) collects information in different ways from Visitors and Users who access the various parts
of our Services and the network of Web sites accessible through our Services. We use this information primarily to provide
a customized experience as You use our Services and, generally, do not share this information with third parties. However,
we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances,
such as when we believe that such disclosure is required or permitted by law or other special cases described below.
- Registration
and Account Information. Users are asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Services
including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer
being used to access the Services. In addition, Users are asked to complete an online form that collects information about
demographics, product usage and preferences, along with other information that will help us improve our products and services.
The personal information collected from Users through these forms is used to manage each User's account (such as for billing
purposes) and provide Users with information about services that may be of interest to them. This information is not shared
with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where Gospel Pastors,
LTD (GP) and a partner jointly promote the Services, Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) may provide the partner certain
personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the
joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance,
personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) may also generate
non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Users provide during registration (such as the total number,
but not the names, of Users). As explained in more detail below, we may in certain instances use this aggregated and non-identifying
information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
- Domain Registration. Domain name
registration information legally has to be available to the public. Since domain name registration information is available
to the public, anyone can access it through "WHOIS" searches. The WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database
that lists the domain name and contact information of each registrant. The domain name registration you provide is hosted
by us to the public. At times, our Users may receive solicitations that result from searches of the publicly available WHOIS
database conducted by other companies or individuals. However, the solicitation and/or SPAM they receive does not in any way
come from Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP).
- Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) Partners and Sponsors.
Some products and services are offered to Visitors and Users in conjunction with a partner (e.g., domain registration). To
provide Visitors and Users with some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal
information. In these instances, we will provide such data collected or transferred to our Partners and Sponsors. Additionally,
many Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) Users have co-branded pages that are co-sponsored by non-affiliated partners. Gospel Pastors,
LTD (GP) will share non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not personal information,
with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
- Online Shopping.
At some Web sites that you access through links on Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP), you can purchase products and services
or register to receive materials, such as a catalog or new product updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact
information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. If you complete
an order for a Web site or service that is not provided by Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP), Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP)
has no control over the third parties' use of any personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please
exercise care when doing so. If you order products directly from Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP), we will use the personal
information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent
necessary to complete that order.
- Online Advertisements. Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) does not
share personal information about its Visitors or Users with advertisers. Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) may display online
advertisements and may share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Users collected through the
registration process, as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers. Additionally, in some instances,
we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements. For instance, an advertiser tells
us the audience they want to reach (for example, males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides us an advertisement tailored
to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display the advertisement
to the intended audience.
- Responses to E-mail Inquiries. When Visitors or Users send e-mail inquiries
to Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP), the return e-mail address is used to answer the e-mail inquiry we receive. Gospel Pastors,
LTD (GP) does not use the return e-mail address for any other purpose and does not share the return e-mail address with
any third party.
- Voluntary Customer Surveys. We may periodically conduct both business and individual
customer surveys. We encourage our Users to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information
that helps us to improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses
will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys
is voluntary. We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate)
it with the responses of other Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) Users to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions
(such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then
use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This
aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties. Unless otherwise noted in the survey
invitation or the survey itself, Users have the option of completing surveys anonymously or providing us with contact information.
We may use the contact information to follow up with Users based on the answers they provide. We may also contact you to highlight
the changes we have made in response to feedback.
- Special Cases. It is Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP)'s
policy not to use or share the personal information about Visitors of Users in ways unrelated to the ones described above
without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, Gospel Pastors, LTD
(GP) may disclose personal information about Visitors or Users, or information regarding your use of the Services or
Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to
do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal
requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against
someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect
Gospel Pastors, LTD (GP) and our Users.
