Privacy Policy
Log Files
The Websites log your IP address, browser type, hits on particular pages, and other general traffic information. This information is not linked to personally identifiable information and you remain anonymous.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a file that is sent from a web server to your web browser and placed on your computer. When you initially visit a Website we may create a cookie for your computer and then use it to track your clicks as you go through the site. There is no personal information stored within the cookie itself and we do not use cookies to retrieve personal information about you or from your computer. While your activity may be tracked while you are at a Website, we do not use cookies to track your activity before or after you leave the site. We may use cookies to keep your style preferences for the layout of the Website, to track items you put into a shopping cart, and to maintain an active connection for our administrators on the database. We also may use cookies if users specify that they want the site to "store" their login information.
Use of Your Personal Information
If a Submission includes your personal information, we will not intentionally share your information with any third party except (1) as necessary for a transaction with you, (2) to comply with the law, (3) to enforce or apply the Use Agreement, or (4) to protect the rights, property, or safety of a Website, of any user of a Website, or of the Church or any of the Church’s directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, or members.
Use Caution If Your Submissions Include Personal Information
Some of the Websites allow a Submission to be posted with the intent that the Submission will be public and readily available online for members or the public to view. This means that anyone with proper credentials (or in some cases no credentials) can view and collect the Submission. Any Submission that includes your personal information may allow your information to be used for unsolicited communication by the Church. Public submissions are prone to unsolicited email messages, identity theft, or other purposes you may not want or may not have intended.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
While our Websites are not subject to COPPA (the rule applies to operators of commercial websites and online services and not to non-profit entities according to the FTC), we love children and understand that it is very important to maintain their privacy. Therefore, our policy is that we will not knowingly collect, use, or distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information from any child under 13 years old without verifiable parental consent and not knowingly allow any child under 13 years old to publicly post or distribute personally identifiable information without verifiable parental consent. Entering our campus or attending our events implies your awareness that photo or video images of adults and children in attendance may be used in the regular course of promoting our ministries. These photos or videos will not contain identifying information other than what is visually identifiable and will remain the property of WPBC. Children under 13 do not have our permission to make any Submission without verifiable parental consent.
