We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive messages from us or would like personally identifiable information removed from our database please contact us.

The Devotional Center may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer joininglight.net, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Aggregate Information: We use Google Analytics to identify key data points such as top content and traffic sources. Our Google Analytics account does not grant us access to your personally identifiable information.

Cookies
joininglight.net uses “cookie” messages to automatically help provide better services. Cookies are used to remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you’ve done and told us before. The “cookie” is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you’re particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of joininglight.net, so we know which parts of our sites are most popular and helpful. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.  It is possible that if you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you may have difficulty accessing portions of our website content.

How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitors of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular and helpful so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic  (showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties.

Information and Email Privacy
The Joining in Light Devotional Center does not provide, sell, or rent information provided by our visitors to anyone outside the organization unless required by local or federal law. The only use of the information shared by our visitors and donors is used for communicating with those who want to stay in communication with us. You may request to be removed from a list at any time through contact us. To facilitate efficient communication the information you provide, such as your email address, may be used  “as needed” bases by vendors who help us with communication (for example email delivery services such as our Web Hosting Provider, Send in Blue or Amazon Web Services and web gateways that assist with donation or payment collection- e.g. Paypal and credit card companies.).  These vendors do not have rights to use the information provided for anything other than to fulfill your request to receive information or services from us.
