Gabriel Services, Inc. Statement of Privacy
& Order Terms
aka Gabriel Church Services
Gabriel Services or its affiliates will not give, sell, or otherwise
lend your personal information to any person, group or organization
at any time now or in the future. However, by posting a listing or
sending a testimony you agree that your name, phone, email and other
information needed may be on the Gabriel Services website, and
subsequent information may be posted to update the listing. If you
request it, we will provide an alternate email address so that your
email address will be kept private. In addition, Gabriel Services
Website users may not use other peoples or other entities e-mails
that they do not have full rights to use, nor send the Gabriel
Services Website to peoples or other entities with whom they are not
acquainted and have permission. All entries become property of
Gabriel Services, and automatically places the user on the Gabriel
Services mailing list. The user's e-mail will not be sold , but may
be used for email updates.
Gabriel Services and its affiliates recognize the importance of
protecting the privacy of all information provided by users of our
web sites, subscribers to our services, recipients of our e-mail
newsletters and all other customers of our products and services. We
created this policy with a fundamental respect for our customers’
right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our customers.
This Privacy Statement discloses the privacy practices for all
products and services owned by Gabriel Services.
Information Collection and Use
Gabriel Services collects information from our website users,
subscribers and other customers. In this section of our Privacy
Statement, we describe the type of information we collect and how we
use it to provide better services to our customers.
Registration and Ordering
When using some of our websites and signing up for certain selected
services (such as email subscriptions, ordering products, listing
items for sale or free, etc. ), users must first register. During
registration, users are required to give their contact information
(such as name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number).
For internal purposes, we use this information to communicate with
users and provide requested services, and, for our website visitors,
to provide a more personalized experience on our sites. We also may
collect demographic information (such as job title and purchasing
responsibilities, company information and professional
certification). We use aggregate demographic information about our
audience to improve our service, for marketing purpose. Many of our
products and services are free to subscribers who meet certain
demographic criteria. For our services that require payment (such
as certain events, products and subscriptions), we also collect
credit card information (such as account name, number and expiration
date), which is used for our or our agent's billing purposes only,
and is not otherwise shared.
E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we ask for
contact information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally,
demographic information). We use this information in the same manner
as we use contact information in the registration and ordering
process described above. Recipients of our newsletters can
unsubscribe using the instructions listed at the end of the e-mail
newsletter.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time we invite web site users and other customers to
provide information via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the website user or
other customer therefore has a choice whether to disclose requested
contact information (such as name and mailing address) and
demographic information (such as zip code or job title). In addition
to the other uses set forth in this policy, contact information
collected in connection with surveys and contests is used to notify
the winners and award prizes and to monitor or improve the use of,
and satisfaction with the website or other Gabriel Services product
or service. Subject to the given customer’s preferences (as
described in the "Permission" section below), such information also
may be shared with third party sponsors of such surveys or contests.
Interactive Features
At some of our sites, we may offer interactive and community
features such as discussion boards, bulletin boards and user
profiles. Note that all personal information sent or posted via such
features becomes public information for which we are not
responsible.
Tell-A-Friend
If customers elect to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our sites and services, we may ask them for the
friend's name, job title and e-mail address. Gabriel Services will
store and use this information to send the friend an invitation.
This information may also be used to provide information about our
company and related products and services. The friend may contact us
as specified in the tell-a-friend message to request that no further
communications be sent.
Communications with Us
We have features where our customers can submit information to us
(such as feedback forms). Where such submissions include requests
for service, support or information, we may forward them to our
agents, as needed, to best respond to the specific request. In
addition, we may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for
our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve
customers better. Please note that letters to the editor,
testimonials and similar submissions may be made public.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special Offers
To best serve our customers, we may send updates that contain
important information about our products and services. For example,
we may send new members a welcoming message, and verify password and
username for our password-protected content. We may also communicate
with a customer to provide requested services and for
account-related issues via e-mail, phone or regular mail. In
addition to such service and product-essential messages, we offer
our customers the option to receive information about our company,
related products, services and special deals. Users, however, can
choose not to receive these communications from us, as set forth in
the "Permission" section below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites, newsletters and, from time to time, certain other
products and services may have features that automatically collect
information from customers, to deliver content specific to
customers’ interests and to honor their preferences. This
information assists us in creating products and services that will
serve the needs of our customers.
For example, we may use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the
user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies
benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time
while on our web site. If users reject the cookies, they may be
limited in the use of some areas of our web site. Additionally, we
may note some of the pages the user visits on our web sites and via
our email newsletters through the use of pixel tags (also called
clear gifs) and web beacons. The use of cookies, pixels and web
beacons enable us to track and target the interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our sites and via our email newsletters.
In addition, some of our business affiliates use cookies on our web
sites and in our email newsletters, in ads or promotions. However,
we have no access to or control over these business affiliates'
cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for
information. We also use an email delivery and marketing company to
send emails (including newsletters) for which you have registered
(or otherwise agreed to receive). Web beacons and cookies may be
used in such email messages to help us measure the effectiveness of
our advertising and how customers use our web sites and other
products and services. For our internal purposes, we may gather
date, time, browser type, navigation history and IP address of all
visitors to our web sites. This information does not contain
anything that can identify users personally. We use this information
for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system
administration, and to gather broad demographic information about
our user base for aggregate use. We may combine demographic
information supplied by a customer at registration with web site
usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate non-personally
identifiable form, about our customers and their preferences in the
content of the site and advertising.

With Whom Your Information is Shared

company outside the Gabriel Services family of services.

Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers' personal
information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is
transmitted to us online (such as credit card number) is encrypted
and is transmitted to us securely. In addition, access to all of our
customers' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, a
billing
clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information, or ad operations and
circulation managers. Finally, the servers on which we store
personally identifiable information are kept in a secure
environment.
Returns Policy
Due to
the custom manufacture of items ordered, we cannot accept returns.
Defective or damaged merchandise will be replaced if noted on the
bill of lading at the time of delivery.
Links
Our web sites contain links to other sites. Gabriel Services is not
responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site
and to read the privacy statements of each web site to which we may
link that may collect personally identifiable information.
Notification and Changes
If we change our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes on
this page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how
we use it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
Users should check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any
changes.
