PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE. By
accessing and using this website in any way, including (without limitation),
browsing the website, using any information, and/or using any services, you
agree to and are bound by the Privacy Policy described in this document
("Privacy Policy").
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THIS PRIVACY
POLICY, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE IN ANY MANNER. This Privacy Policy is
entered into by and between LDS Future and you. If you are using the
website on behalf of any other party, you assert that you are authorized to
accept this Privacy Policy on that party's behalf.
LDS Future reserves the right, at LDS Future's sole discretion, to change,
modify, update, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time,
without notice to you. Please check this Privacy Policy for changes. Your
continued use of this website following the posting of changes to this Privacy
Policy will mean you accept those changes.
LDS Future respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the
personal information that you share with us. Generally you can browse through
our website without giving us any information about yourself. This policy
describes how we collect and use your personal information when we need it to
provide services to us, and when you choose to provide it to us.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an
individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email
address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information,
title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, other
information when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously
indicated that you wish LDS Future to remember your login and
password. We don't automatically collect personal information, including your
email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your
computer) to give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how
long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to any personal
information unless you have logged in to our website. Like many other
commercial websites, the readthescriptures.com website may use a standard
technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how you use the site.
Please go to "Cookies and Tracking Information" below for more information.
LDS Future collects personal information when you register for a
readthescriptures.com account, when you use certain LDS Future
products or services, when you ask to be included in an email or other
mailing list, or when you submit your personal information to
LDS Future for any other reason.
Access to certain readthescriptures.com web pages requires a login and a
password. The use of those web pages, and the information or programs
downloadable from those sites, may be governed by the Terms of Use agreement
between you and LDS Future. Unless you request deletion of your
personal information as specified below, your personal information may be
retained by LDS Future to verify compliance with the agreement, log
software licenses granted, to track software downloaded from those pages, or
track usage of other applications available on those pages.
Notice: When personal information is collected we will inform you at the
point of collection of the purpose for the collection. LDS Future
will not transfer your personal information to third parties without your
consent, except under the limited conditions described under the discussion
entitled "Information Sharing and Disclosure" below.
If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we may only
transfer that information to LDS Future's third-party service
providers with your permission. Upon receiving your permission, we may transfer
your information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other
countries or jurisdictions around the world.
We will always give you the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving direct
marketing or market-research information. This means we assume you have given
us your consent to collect and use your information in accordance with this
Policy, unless you take affirmative action to indicate that you do not consent
(for instance, by clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the
point of collection). In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you with
the opportunity to "opt in." This means we will require your affirmative action
to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than
the purpose for which it was submitted.
Email Privacy
We have a firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your
information. We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and
alteration of data used by our system.
We never share, sell, or rent your personal information with or to anyone
without your advance permission, or unless ordered by a court of law.
Information submitted to us is only available to (a) employees managing this
information for purposes of contacting you or sending you emails (based on your
request for information) and to (b) contracted service providers for purposes
of providing services relating to our communications with you.
Each email we send contains an easy, automated way for you to discontinue
receiving email from us. If you wish to discontinue receiving newsletters or
notices regarding new questionnaires, simply click on
Unsubscribe. This will not change your account status.
If at any time you wish to cancel your account, please send notification to
webmaster@readthescriptures.com. We are in complete compliance with all
anti-spam rules and regulations.
If you receive unwanted unsolicited email sent via this system, or purporting
to be sent via this system, please forward a copy of that email, along with
your comments, to
webmaster@readthescriptures.com for our review.

Cookies and Tracking Technology
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive
when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID
that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie
can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
Some parts of LDS Future's websites use cookies to track user traffic
patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website
information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is
in helping users reach that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set
your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, and then refuse the cookie
when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies
by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full
advantage of LDS Future's websites if you do so. In particular, you
may be required to accept cookies in order to complete certain actions on our
website. You do not need to have cookies turned on, however, to use or navigate
through many parts of our website may require a login and password.
How We Use Information Collected
LDS Future uses information for several general purposes: to fulfill
your requests for certain products and services; to personalize your experience
on our website; to keep you up-to-date on the latest product announcements,
software updates, special offers, or other information we think you'd like to
hear about from us; and to better understand your needs in order to provide you
with better services. We may also use your information to send you
direct-marketing information or contact you for market research.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Because LDS Future is a global company, your personal information
may be shared with other LDS Future offices or subsidiaries around
the world. All such entities are governed by this Privacy Policy or are bound
by the appropriate confidentiality and data transfer agreements.
Your personal information is never shared outside LDS Future without
your permission, except under conditions explained below. Inside
LDS Future, data is stored in controlled servers with limited
access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States,
Canada, or any other country where LDS Future, its subsidiaries,
affiliates or agents are located.
LDS Future may send your personal information to other companies or
people under any of the following circumstances: when we have your consent to
share the information; when we need to share your information to provide the
product or service you have requested; when we need to send the information to
companies who work on behalf of LDS Future to provide a product or
service to you (we will only provide those companies the information they need
to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for
any other purpose); or when we want to keep you up-to-date on the latest
product announcements, software updates, special offers, or other information
we think you'd like to hear about from us (unless you have opted out of these
types of communications). We will also disclose your personal information if
required to do so by law, to enforce our Terms of Use, or in urgent
circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public, or our websites.
Your Ability to Review and Delete Your Account and Information

you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. While we
strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of
the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution
to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your
passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you
use a secure browser.
