IP address (e.g., 10.10.10.2) of the computer that you are using
to browse our website. An IP address is typically not considered
personally identifiable information. However, with the advent
of DSL, cable modems and other forms of static IP addresses, this
issue may be attributable to an individual. Conversely, we only
collect information that you expressly provide during your visit
with us. Such information is collected to satisfy the services
that you have requested (e.g., account registration, becoming
a partner, or prayer requests).

to our systems and it does not contain any personally identifiable
information.

the services that you have requested. However, if a secondary
use for your personal information arises, we will give you the
chance to opt-out of such uses. Also, we limit our collection
of personal information to the amount reasonably necessary to
satisfy our mutual needs. Throughout our site however, several
fields are required and others are optional. We will provide a
consistent method such as bold print, to denote those fields which
are required.
