To quote Popeye, “I am who I am”, which is also in line with this web site’s privacy policy. I am the administrator and author of this website in its entirety. By-the-way, in case we have not been properly introduced, my name if Rob Nimchuk. The question here is whether or not your information is protected. Assuming the appropriate security measures are in place, I am the only person with access to your personal content. I plan to keep it that way. However, to make my lawyers happy, the fine print is below.
Both site subscribers and non-logged in visitors will always see any approved comments under the relevant post. Registering and logging in is necessary to leave your own comment. Despite requiring your first and last name for registration, only your nickname will be publicly displayed. If you’re worried about the way your information is used, please refer to the privacy policy section titled Who We Share Your Data With below.
It is my assumption that all posted content and comments, including my own, are tracked and archived in a way. Since this site is hosted by a web service, I am unable to control what is tracked. Make sure to check for any personal information you may accidentally be including in your comment before publishing.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). It is possible for visitors to download images from the website for their personal use. To protect both of us, we have blocked the uploading of images other than profile images. The attorneys in the room next to me just want to make sure that our privacy policy is adhered to in all scenarios.
Be aware that if you use a Gravatar image, the Gravatar service may receive an anonymous string created from your email address. The privacy policy for Gravatar service is available here: Gravatar Privacy Policy.
My Cookie Policy – Strictly Peanut Butter
Like any site, cookies are created to facilitate communication between your browser and the web server. Cookies make it easier to leave another comment without having to fill in your user information again. It’s important to keep in mind that cookies have a one-year lifespan, but they may become somewhat stale. You might want to flush your browser’s cookies more frequently, such as once a week.
When you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to verify that your browser accepts cookies. No personal data is stored in this cookie and it is deleted when you close your browser.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
This site may contain content embedded from other sites, such as videos, images, and articles. Be aware that embedded content can behave in the same way as if the visitor had visited that website. While I have no intention of embedding any content from other sites, mistakes and exceptions do happen. This disclaimer is in place for that reason.
Who We Share Your Data With
No one. Period. That is unless you have submitted a prayer request. The Praying for Others page will have a public request posted. Private requests may be shared internally with others praying on your behalf, they will never be publicly posted.
It is out of my control to determine what data the host provider or government shares with anyone.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. BTW, I am currently approving them manually. However, if this becomes a chore, I may be forced to hire a monkey to press the approved button. Yes I will only use Union licensed monkey(s).
For users that register on our website, keep in mind that my host provides keeps records as well. Again, I have no control over those records. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information under the privacy policy regulations as detailed in this web site privacy policy.
The king of Aram became very upset over this. He called his officers together and demanded, “Which of you is the traitor? Who has been informing the king of Israel of my plans?”
“It’s not us, my lord the king,” one of the officers replied. “Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom!
