This Online Privacy Statement
covers the collection and use of data on the MyLifeMinistries.org
Web sites in the United States.
2. What Information We Collect
The information we collect
on our Site generally falls into the following two categories:
Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable
Information.
Personally Identifiable
Information:
This refers to information that
lets us know the specifics of who you are. The Personally
Identifiable Information we collect when you use our Site
may include your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail
address. We request Personally Identifiable
Information when you order a product or service, participate
in certain promotional activities, fill out surveys, and correspond
with us. We also collect Personally Identifiable Information
when you ask that we send products or information directly
to other people; in these cases, we will collect the information
you submit about the recipient. It will be clear when you
are on a part of our Site that requires personal information,
because we will ask you for it and you will have a choice about how we use that information.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information:
This refers to information that
does not by itself identify a specific individual. The non-personally
identifiable data we collect when you visit our Site may include
the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL")(1) of the Web site that you
came from before visiting our Site, which pages you visit
on our Site, which URL you next go to, which browser you used
to come to our Site, your Internet Protocol ("IP")(2) address, and any search
terms entered on our Site. This Statement also contains more
information about how we use cookies and other technology to collect this data.
3. Why We Collect Your Information
Our primary goals in
collecting information are to provide customers with superior
service and to provide all visitors a smooth, efficient, and
personalized experience while using our Site. For example,
if you purchase products or request information on our Site,
we use your Personally Identifiable Information to fill your
order or provide the requested information. We use Non-Personally
Identifiable Information on an aggregated basis to analyze
customer behavior to help us understand how visitors use our
Site and to measure interest in the various pages. We use
this information to improve the content of our Site, to make
our Site easier to use, and to customize our advertising.

Information when you visit our Site or click on banner ads
for MyLifeMinistries.org products and services. We collect
this information to help run our Site more efficiently, to
gather broad demographic information, to monitor the level
of activity on our Site, and to evaluate the effectiveness
of our advertising. Learn more about how we use cookies and other technology to collect this information.
Online surveys

We collect Personally Identifiable Information from
customers who volunteer to complete surveys or participate
in polls. We use this information to improve our products
and services.
Promotional activities:
We collect Personally Identifiable Information
from you when you enter a promotional program or activity.
We use this information to administer the program or activity,

the winners' list publicly available pursuant to certain states'

Information, in a file specific to you. We use this information
to help us provide better service in the event you contact
us again.
5. Sharing Your Information
We DO NOT sell, trade, or rent
to others the Personally Identifiable Information we collect
online. Unless we have your permission, we will share the
Personally Identifiable Information you provide online only
with other MyLifeMinistries.org entities and/or businesses
that provide services to MyLifeMinistries.org and only for
the purposes described above. Where MyLifeMinistries.org engages
third parties to perform services on our behalf, we will require
them to observe the intent of this Online Privacy Statement. On some pages we offer you
the opportunity to receive information from companies with
products or services that may be of interest to you. If you
choose to receive such information, MyLifeMinistries.org may
assist these companies in their marketing activities by forwarding
their messages to you, but we will not provide these companies
with any of your Personally Identifiable Information. From time to time, we may be
required to provide Personally Identifiable Information in
response to a court order, subpoena, or government investigation.
We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies
any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may release certain Personally Identifiable Information
when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary
to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to protect
the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves. MyLifeMinistries.org or
its related entities could merge with or be acquired by another
business entity or their respective assets could be acquired.
Should such a combination or acquisition occur, you should
expect that MyLifeMinistries.org would share some or all of
your Personally Identifiable Information to continue serving
you and other users of our Site.
6. Your Choices
MyLifeMinistries.org WILL NOT use or share the Personally Identifiable Information collected
on our Site in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you
provided the information, including those described above, without providing you a choice whether
to permit any such unrelated uses. At the time you provide
your information, we will offer you a choice as to whether
you want to receive further communications about special offers,
product information or other marketing messages. If you choose
not to receive these communications, we will not use the information
you provide for this purpose. If you change your mind and
wish not to receive further marketing communications from
MyLifeMinistries.org, let us know by emailing support@MyLifeMinistries.org

A "cookie" is a small data
file transferred by a Web site to your computer's hard drive.
We send cookies when you surf our Site, make purchases, respond
to online surveys or polls, or request information. Accepting
the cookies used on our Site does not give us access to your

to identify your computer. The aggregate information collected
permits us to analyze traffic patterns on our Site. This can
enable us over time to provide you with a better experience
on our Site by improving the content and making it easier
to use. For example, cookies can keep track of what you have
selected and allow you to enter your password only once on
pages where a logon is required. Most browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually refuse cookies, or selectively
accept certain cookies, by adjusting the preferences in your

9. Use of Third-Party Media and Research
Companies
MyLifeMinistries.org does not run third-party ads on our Site. MyLifeMinistries.org may use third-party media and research companies
to place ads for us on other parties' Web sites. When users
view Web pages where MyLifeMinistries.org ads appear, our online
media and research companies may place cookies on the user's computer. These cookies
allow the companies to recognize the computer when it is used
to return to that site. In this way, our online media and
research companies may compile information about ads viewed
and the general content of the pages where the ads appear.
Over time, this information permits these companies to deliver
ads that they believe will be of most interest to the user
and to minimize the repetition of ads you see. The cookies
placed by these companies do not access or collect any Personally
Identifiable Information or enable individual users to be
identified. The data is collected exclusively for use in MyLifeMinistries.org's marketing and research. MyLifeMinistries.org does
not have access to the cookies that may be placed by the online
media and research companies. If you want to prevent these
companies from sending and reading cookies on your computer,
you will need to visit each company's Web site and request
that you be removed from its system.
10. Use of Web Beacons On This
Site
Some pages on our Site
contain electronic images known as Web beacons, or single-pixel
GIFs, placed by our third-party media and research companies.
Web beacons, which use cookie technology, permit these companies
to compile aggregated statistics for MyLifeMinistries.org about
how visitors use our Site and to gauge the effectiveness of
our ads. No Personally Identifiable Information is collected
or shared through the Web beacons used on our Site, and the
information collected does not permit us to identify users
of our Site. The data is collected exclusively for use in
MyLifeMinistries.org's marketing and research. If you would
like to prevent our online media and research companies from
collecting this information, you will need to visit each company's
Web site and request that you be removed from its system.
11. Protecting Your Information
MyLifeMinistries.org acknowledges
your trust and is committed to protecting the information
you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain accuracy,
and ensure proper use of information, we have employed physical,
electronic, and managerial processes to safeguard and secure
the information we collect online.
12. Links to Other Web Sites
Parts of our Site contain
links to third-party Web sites for your convenience and information.
If you use these links, you will leave the MyLifeMinistries.org.com
Web site. When you access a non-MyLifeMinistries.org.com Web
site, even one that may contain the MyLifeMinistries.org logo,
please understand that we do not control the content and are
not responsible for the privacy practices of that site. We
suggest that you carefully review the privacy policies of
each site you visit. This Online Privacy Statement does not
cover the information practices of those Web sites linked
to our Site. These other sites may send their own cookies
to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.
13. Children's Privacy
MyLifeMinistries.org believes that protecting
children's privacy online is extremely important, and we encourage
parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's
use of the Internet and to spend time online with their children.
MyLifeMinistries.org respects national and international laws,
including the Children's On-line Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"),
which applies in the United States. Accordingly, at our Site
we do not collect personal information from children under
13 without parental consent. In the event we develop areas
of our Site directed at children under age 13, we will implement
a special children's privacy statement that complies with
the requirements of COPPA and other relevant laws.

what information we collect online, how we use it, and what
choices you have. Please be sure to check this page before
proceeding to use our Site. Regardless of any changes we make
to our Online Privacy Statement, we will always use your Personally
Identifiable Information in accordance with the version of

unless you give your express consent for us to do otherwise.

2 An IP address is an identifier for a computer
or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use
the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address
of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you
are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify
your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for
users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
