American Bible Society, including the Trauma Healing Institute and any other affiliates (collectively, “ABS”), has created this Privacy Notice to apply to all users and visitors of this website, and all mobile applications and digital assets offered by us (collectively, our “Services”).

This Privacy Notice describes the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning your Personal Information (defined below).

This Privacy Notice and our Services are intended for use and for persons in the United States, the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and elsewhere around the world where we provide Services.

• Personal Information We May Automatically Collect About You:

Our Services may automatically collect certain Personal Information. We may collect Personal Information automatically through your use of our Services, including the website, such as through the use of cookies, or through security monitoring and recording at our offices and facilities, on phone calls, and through third parties.  We use this information to help us design our Services to better suit our users’ needs and for other business purposes as described in this Privacy Notice.

This Personal Information may include:

• System and Device Information
  • Information about the computer, tablet, smartphone, or other electronic device you use to connect to our Services.
  • Every computer on the Internet has a unique address called an Internet Protocol (“IP” Address). An IP Address is just like a telephone number in that it is a long string of numbers. IP Addresses are automatically assigned to all Internet Users by their Internet Service Providers (“ISP”). However, since it would be difficult to remember everyone’s IP Address, the Internet allows you to type in an easy to remember name, i.e., a domain name or e-mail address which corresponds to the IP Address. When you use the Internet, your IP Address, as well as other information is automatically logged by web servers.
  • Along with your IP Address, we collect browser type and language; operating system; platform type; device type; software and hardware attributes; and unique device, advertising, and app identifiers.
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information, including browser and app logs, content you view or engage with, and app, browser, and device information.
  • Domain server from which you are using our Services.
  • Type of computer, web browsers, software, search engine used, operating system, or platform you use.
  • Mobile device information, including the type of device you use, operating system version, your device’s telephone number (if it has one), the device identifier (or “UDID”). This also includes behavior, use, and aggregated usage, performance data, and from where the application was downloaded.
  • Location information related to the IP address of devices used to access the Services, type of browser software, operating system, or mobile device in use, associated region or location data, Internet domain and service provider used, and referring/exit pages from which you linked to our Services.
• Date and Time
  • Date and time of your visit or use of our Services.
• Activity
  • Data identifying the website pages you visited prior to and after visiting our website or use of our Services.
  • Your movement and activity within the website, which is aggregated with other information.
  • For example, the website from which you came and the website to which you are going when you leave our website, how frequently you access the Services, the time you access the Services and how long you use them, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access the Services from multiple devices, interaction with email content, access times, error logs, and other similar information, and other actions you take on the Services. Information about files you download, domain names, landing pages, browsing activity, content or ads viewed and clicked, dates and times of access, pages viewed, forms you complete or partially complete, search terms, uploads or downloads, the URL that referred you to our Services.
• Location Related Information
  • Location Data generally, or with your consent, your precise GPS location.
• Social Media
  • Information provided by social networks connected to the Services, in accordance with your privacy settings on the social media platform. The connected social network may provide us with information such as your name, ID, profile picture, network, gender, username, user ID, email address, friend list, age or age range, language, country, friends list, follower list, photos, location, generated contact, and any other information you have agreed it can share or that the social network provides to us. It also includes information you provide to us directly through our Services on social media networking and blogging platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter).

Inferences drawn from any of the information identified above reflecting your preferences and characteristics.

Cookies & Technologies Used to Collect Information About You

We collect the above Personal Information directly and through the use of third parties. We collect this Personal Information by using certain technologies, such as cookies, pixels, web beacons, and other technologies. Third-party service providers, advertisers, and/or partners may also view, edit, or set their own cookies or place web beacons. The use of these technologies by such third parties is subject to their own privacy notices and is not covered by this Privacy Notice, except as required by law.

Cookies (or browser cookies)

Cookies and similar technologies are small files of letters and numbers that we store on your web browser or the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. Cookies contain information that is transferred to the hard drive of your computer or mobile device and enable the website’s or service provider’s systems to recognize the user’s browser and capture and remember certain information.

Cookies may be sent to your browser’s temporary memory system to assist you in navigating during a particular session only, or a cookie can be sent to your hard drive to serve you better when you return to the website (for example to recognize you when you return to the website, to save your password and to offer you customized content).

There are three types of cookies that we may use:

1. Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential to enable you to browse our website and use its features. The information collected by these cookies relate to the operation of our website (e.g., website scripting language and security tokens to maintain secure areas of our website).
2. Performance/Analytics: These cookies collect anonymous information about how you use our website (e.g., which pages you visit most often, whether you receive any error messages, and how you arrived at our website). Information collected by these cookies is used only to improve your use of our website and never to identify you.
3. Functionality: These cookies remember choices you make (e.g., the country you visit our Services from, your language and any changes you have made to text size or other parts of web pages that you can customize), to improve your experience of our Services and to make your visits and use more tailored and enjoyable. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Most Internet browsers are automatically set up to accept cookies. However, if you want to refuse or delete any cookies (or similar technologies), please refer to the help and support area on your Internet browser for instructions on how to block or delete cookies. Please note you may not be able to take advantage of all the features of our website, including any personalized features, if you delete or disable cookies.

You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a “cookie” giving you the opportunity to accept or refuse it. See “Help” in your browser. Deleting or not accepting cookies will not prevent you from accessing this website or participating on the website. However, if you do not employ the technology your navigation may be less convenient or personalized given the purposes for cookies.

You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.

Some website browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features that send an automated signal to the websites that you visit using that browser. Currently, the Services do not recognize or respond to these signals. However, you can adjust your preferences regarding the data we collect using the tools and methods described above.

Flash Cookies

We may use local shared objects, also known as Flash cookies, to store your preferences such as volume control or display content based upon what you view on our website to personalize your visit. Third parties, with whom we partner to provide certain features or to display advertising based upon your browsing activity, use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored and the method of storing this data. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies.

For Flash cookies, you can access Flash management tools from Adobe’s website. In addition, some, but not all, browsers provide the ability to remove local shared objects within cookie and privacy settings.

Web Beacons

Website pages may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity). We also use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Services. These technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to a third party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. Our Services may use retargeting pixels from Google, Meta, Bing, X and other ad networks. We may also use web beacons in HTML emails that we send to determine whether the recipients have opened those emails and/or clicked on links in those emails.

Analytics

Analytics are tools we use, such as Google Analytics, to help provide us with information about traffic to our website and use of our Services, which Google may share with other services and websites who use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Learn more about Google’s Privacy Notice here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US. You can opt out of having your activity on our Services made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on for your web browser by visiting: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Mobile Application Technologies

If you access our website and Services through a mobile device, we may automatically collect information about your device, your phone number, and your physical location.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

ABS may occasionally provide links to sites operated by outside parties (“third-party websites”) that we believe may be of interest to you. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those other websites, the content displayed on them, or the persons or entities the websites are associated with. We do not disclose your Personal Information to these third-party websites without obtaining your consent. In addition, from our Services you may be able to interact with social media platforms, for example, by “liking” us on Facebook. If you choose to click on a link to one of these third-party websites or choose to interact with or through a social media platform, your activities are not governed by this Privacy Notice and will be governed by the Privacy Notice on that third-party website or social media platform. This Privacy Notice only applies to Personal Information collected by us. Please review their privacy notices and terms of service before disclosing any Personal Information to determine their respective privacy practices. ABS does not review, does not endorse, and is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites and social media platforms.

• We may also maintain a page on Facebook or other social media platforms. Those pages and your interaction with them are governed by the privacy notices of Facebook or other relevant social media platform, and not our Privacy Notice. As with other third-party websites, we do not endorse and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these forums, although we may have a presence on them.
• We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of those other websites or social media platforms or the information they may collect (which may include IP address). You should refer to such third parties’ privacy notices on their websites to determine their respective privacy practices.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

ABS strives to employ commercially reasonable measures as it relates to physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect your Personal Information. However, you should assume that no data transmitted over the Internet or stored or maintained by us or our third-party service providers can be 100% secure. Therefore, although we believe the measures implemented by us reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved, we do not promise or guarantee, nor should you expect, that your information or private communications will always remain private or secure. We do not guarantee that your Personal Information will not be misused by third parties. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features. You agree that we will not have any liability for misuse, access, acquisition, deletion, or disclosure of your Personal Information.

It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your log-in credentials and unique identifiers used to access the Services. You are also responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personal Information you submit to ABS. Submitting inaccurate Personal Information or failing to maintain the accuracy of Personal Information that changes (for example, a change of email address) may disrupt your ability to use our Services, may affect the Services you receive from us, and may impact our ability to contact you.

If you believe that your Personal Information has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized person, promptly Contact Us at info@americanbible.org so that necessary measures can quickly be taken.

ABS will also retain and use your Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including any applicable rules on statute of limitations, any relevant litigation, or regulatory investigations, to enable us to defend or bring potential legal claims, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and in accordance with our routine recordkeeping that considers the duration of your use of our Services.  We are under no obligation to store Personal Information indefinitely.  We disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the disposal of your Personal Information.

DATA STORAGE AND TRANSFERS

We operate in the United States. Your Personal Information may be transferred to and processed in any country where we have secondments or in which we engage service providers or licensed independent contractors. These countries may be outside the United States and may have different data protection laws than in the United States.

Thus, we transfer your Personal Information to third parties as stated in this Privacy Notice, and some of these parties may be located in countries other than your own, whose privacy and data protection laws may not be equivalent to those in your country of residence.
