We do not consider Josh.org a website directed to children, as that term is understood under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Additionally, we do not collect personal information about anyone by the use of cookies. It is possible that, without our knowledge, we may receive information about a child though our Contact Us feature, our daily devotional sign up or through our online store. In such an event, we will observe the following practices regarding parents’ review and directions regarding their child’s information.
Information Collected
We respect the privacy of children, and do not collect any more personal information than reasonably necessary to enable them to participate in the activities we offer at our website. In fact, we are prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.
With respect to our online information collection practices from children under 18 years of age: We collect the following types of personal information directly from our constituents, which may include children, online: first and last name, age (to determine eligibility, e-mail address, and mailing address (for purchases or awarding of prizes). If a child is participating as an individual we will need to collect their mailing address in order to fill orders of materials and incentives.
Please note that parents may consent to the above collection and use without necessarily consenting to the disclosure of personal information to third parties. The only instance in which Josh McDowell Ministry would do so would be if the use of a third-party shipper becomes necessary.
With respect to the collection by other organizations of personal information from children at our site, our policy is that we do not have any agreements with outside organizations to collect personal information at our site.
Use and Sharing of Information
The information we collect from children is used for record keeping or delivering content.
With respect to sharing information, we do not share children’s personal information with anyone other than those who provide support for the internal operations of the website and our agents (e.g., contractors who provide fulfillment services or technical support to the website).
We have received the following commitments for security of information from third parties with whom we share personal information: All third parties with whom we share information have agreed to maintain security and integrity of personal information.
