THE WAY THE PRAYER NETWORK USES INFORMATION:
- The Prayer Network uses your personally identifiable, registration, profile, and location information to operate, maintain, and provide to you and other Users all of the features and functionality of the The Prayer Network Services.
- To provide the basic functionality of the The Prayer Network Services - such as displaying your live location to The Prayer Network friends on the Friends Map or alerting your friends when you are nearby - The Prayer Network maintains for its use only each User's most recent location fix. If Users choose to "geo-tag" certain content or data with location information, then The Prayer Network maintains these geo-tags for so long as the applicable content remains on The Prayer Network's systems.
- The Prayer Network uses your personally identifiable, location, and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous log file information) to track and analyze User preferences and trends in order to improve the quality and design of the The Prayer Network Services and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services.
- The Prayer Network uses cookies and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the The Prayer Network Services; (b) provide custom and personalized content, advertisements, and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; and (d) monitor aggregate usage metrics.
- The Prayer Network uses your email address to send you messages from The Prayer Network such as privacy or security related notices, notifying you of major The Prayer Network Services updates, or for other customer service purposes.
- The Prayer Network uses your personally identifiable, registration, profile, and location information to serve and personalize in-service advertisements specifically tailored to you and your interests. For example, if you put a favorite band in your profile, then we might serve you an advertisement highlighting the concert of a similar band playing nearby in your city. However, we do not disclose who you are to the advertiser.
- The Prayer Network does not use your personally identifiable information or location information to send commercial SMS text messages to you without your express consent or unless if you have opted-in to be part of a specific program or feature in accordance with the applicable The Prayer Network Services consent procedures.
WHEN THE PRAYER NETWORK DISCLOSES INFORMATION:
- The Prayer Network discloses some personally identifiable, registration, profile, or location information to subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons to: (a) provide certain features; (b) serve relevant advertisements in support of The Prayer Network Services; and (c) process such information on our behalf. For example, we may disclose information to wireless carrier partners for the purpose of revenue recognition, or we may disclose certain information in order to provide mapping, points-of-interest, local content, or navigation features. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with this Privacy Notice and use appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information.
- The Prayer Network discloses aggregate, anonymous log file and usageinformation in reports to interested third parties to assist those parties in understanding the usage patterns and performance results of certain advertisements, content, services, promotions, or features. For example, we may provide aggregate-level reports to an advertising partner for the purpose of showing delivery and performance statistics of a specific advertising campaign.
