Additionally, if you have signed up to receive communications from us, we may use information related to your use of this website to focus future communications on topics we think may interest you.

1. Aggregate user information. We also gather information through aggregated Site tracking tools, derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our Site. This aggregated tracking information does not include your personal information, but is instead limited to: (a) information such as the server your computer is logged onto and IP address, (b) your browser type (e.g., Google Chrome or Internet Explorer), and (c) the pages you view or request to view. This information allows us to assess trends in the use of our Site, develop content and functionality, and improve the service and products we provide.

Eden Vigil also gathers information about you through Google Analytics. Through the use of both first and third party tracking cookies provided by Google, we capture site traffic demographic information including age and gender as available. We also capture interest information such as affinity, in-market and interest categories. All of this information is tied to specific computers via cookies and not a specific person. This information may be gathered simply by trends based on other sites visited or by information shared on certain websites, Google profiles and social networking sites. Interest information gathered may be used to target appropriate online ads across other sites on the Internet, Google and social outlets like Facebook.

If you would like to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and follow the instructions found there.

SHARING INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

We will not sell or rent the information described above other than what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy. From time to time, we share aggregated user information with our partners and affiliates. This information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We also use several companies to process online donations and payments. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We sometimes also partner with other third parties to provide specific services. When you sign up for these services, we will share such contact information as is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services. In addition, at some point in the future, Eden Vigil might sell or buy businesses or assets, or Eden Vigil might be acquired by, or merged with, another company. In any of those circumstances, personal information in our databases may be included among the transferred assets.

REQUIRED DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We also reserve the following rights to disclose your personal information to appropriate third-parties if we are required to do so by law or we believe such action is necessary: (1) for technical processing – we may need to view your information in connection with technical problems or network maintenance; (2) to protect Eden Vigil’s rights, interest, and/or property; (3) to investigate reports of users sending material using a false email address or users sending harassing, threatening, subjective, or abusive messages; (4) to protect against fraud, misuse, or unauthorized use of our Site and/or ministry; (5) during emergencies (e.g., when we believe someone’s physical safety is at risk); and (6) to comply with legal process (e.g., search warrant, subpoena or court order) or applicable laws.
