Your privacy is important to me.
Most of my services do not require any form of registration allowing you to visit my site without telling me who you are. However, some services may require you to provide me with personal data (email subscriptions and online comments, for example). In these situations, if you choose to withhold any personal data requested by me, you may not be able to gain access to information or participate as desired.
Below you’ll find information on what types of personal information I receive and collect when you use and visit womensministrytoolbox.com and how I safeguard your information.
Please note, I will never sell your personal information to third parties.
Cookies
Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe Flash technology, including cookies) may be used. Websites send these data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer or mobile or other devices so the website can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that website or app. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the site and may include search queries you have run on the site. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but your browser may permit you to change your settings to notify you of a cookie being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features, content or personalization that may be available through the site.
I also use third-party advertisements on womensministrytoolbox.com to support my site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on this site, which will also send these advertisers information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please see: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
Product Orders
If you use e-commerce areas of my site to order my products, I may request information from you on my order form. To purchase products through the site, you must provide contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. I will also use this information to contact you to confirm your order or to inform you of any issues or updates. Please note, I use a third-party app for product orders and your personal information is stored on their site. Please view the specific privacy policy on those sites for more information.
Social Plugins
Certain areas of my site permit you to utilize social media functionality, such as Pinterest or Facebook. To use a Social Plugin, you must authorize the third-party provider of that Social Plugin, to access, collect, and/or disclose your information related to your use of that Social Plugin, subject to that company’s privacy policies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy.
Comments and Message Boards
Any information you share in public areas, such as comment sections, becomes public. Please be careful about what you disclose and do not post any personal information that you expect to keep private.
Contests and Sweepstakes
When I run a contest or sweepstakes relating to the site, it will be accompanied by a set of rules. The rules for each contest/sweepstakes will specify how the information gathered from you for your entry will be used and disclosed.
Email List Subscribers
Women’s Ministry Toolbox will send article posts, promotional materials (such as newsletters), and notifications related to the site to the contact information you provided to me at registration. I utilize a double-opt-in process via my email service provider. If you want to stop receiving promotional materials from Women’s Ministry Toolbox, follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.

Third-party processors I use include but are not limited to, Amazon, EventsFrame, Flodesk, Google Analytics, Mediavine, Teachable, Shopify, Share-a-Sale, Awin, and CJ Affiliates.
I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising.
