Effective August 1, 2009

 

REFINED SOUL uses information which is given by our users to enhance the overall User experience.  Your privacy is important to us and this Privacy Policy explains how we gather certain types of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) from you.  

 

 

You agree to provide true, current, complete and accurate Personal Information when prompted by your use of the Site. We reserve the right to reject and delete any entry that we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent or inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. 

 

Please be aware that any Personal Information you transfer to us from outside the U.S. will be transferred to and processed in the U.S and subject to U.S. law. By using the Site, participating in any Site activities and/or providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to this transfer of Personal Information to the U.S. and waive any claims that may arise under your own national and/or local laws.

 

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or as permitted by you, we will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or otherwise disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information to other third party marketers or any such persons that are not associated with the Site as advertisers unless it is necessary to: 1) conform to regulatory and legal requirements or to comply with legal process; 2) to protect the safety and security of our users, employees or property;  3) to defend the rights of the Site.

 

You, as the user, have agreed that you will use the hyperlinks to third party sites at your own risk.  This Privacy Policy does not cover third party advertising or third party content that may be present on the Site. 

Interactive Activities  

 

REFINED SOUL obtains information that users provide through optional submissions. These are voluntary submissions to participate in our prayer, testimony, and discussion boards, to email a friend, and to partake in polls. Users who wish to post comments or messages on the site's Interactive Activities must provide a valid email address for registration. Only users who have valid e-mail addresses may contribute with a post.  This is an effort to control the posting of inappropriate material and protect our online community.  Please note that your "Username" will be displayed on such posting. 

 

 

REFINED SOUL’s users can choose to electronically forward documents to someone else by clicking the "forward to a friend" button. The user must provide their email address, as well as the address of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and to lets the recipients know who sent the email. 

 

Usage Tracking 

 

REFINED SOUL tracks user traffic patterns throughout the site. Collection of a user's IP address is recorded from the browser string. This information is obtained to analyze trends, break down usage statistics, track user movement, and to gather demographic information—all for the purpose of continually improving our website and delivering content based on user interest. Please note this information is not linked to personally identifiable information, and collection is standard procedure in most web-server environments. We reserve the right to collect Personal Information using any new technology yet to be developed and to use such technology to provide new services and features to you.

 

 

Despite our efforts to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access or disclosure, the internet is not a protected environment and so we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. We assume no liability for any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission, unauthorized acts of third party access, or actions beyond our reasonable control. Users may opt not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information.
