Use of Cookies

The FaithStreams Network Web sites use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize FaithStreams Network pages, or register with a FaithStreams Network site or services, a cookie helps FaithStreams Network to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as user name, group memberships, and so on. When you return to the same FaithStreams Network Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the FaithStreams Network features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or reject cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to reject cookies if you prefer. If you choose to reject cookies, you will not be able to fully experience many of the interactive features of the FaithStreams Network services or Web pages you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

FaithStreams Network secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

We will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. We encourage you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how FaithStreams Network is protecting your information. This Privacy Statement is subject to change without notice.

Standards and Practices

NO TARGETING FOR PROSELYTIZATION
Proselytizing as it is used here means the act of seeking members to join one faith group at the expense of another faith group. This is usually done by suggesting that one faith group is superior to another, being critical of others' beliefs, or making suggestions that members of another faith are wrong in the way they may interpret the tenets of the faith for the express purpose of convincing members to move away from the faith group in question. Visitors may be encouraged to become part of a faith or to make a commitment to God or to Jesus Christ, but it is not acceptable for visitors to be asked, encouraged, or coerced to move from one faith group to another.

NO MALIGNING
Maligning as it is used here means the act of disparaging, defaming or speaking evil of another faith group or its practitioners either explicitly or implicitly. Maligning of any faith group is prohibited.
Further, belittling, which is used here to mean the act of showing lack of respect for any individual, group or organization, is not in keeping with the values FaithStreams Network intends to convey, and therefore is unacceptable.

NO PREJUDICE
Prejudice as it is used here means to discriminate or to stereotype. The demonstration of prejudice against any individual or group of individuals on the basis of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, politics, and/or socio-economic status is prohibited.

NO LOBBYING
As a general rule, lobbying by charitable exempt organizations is prohibited under 501 (h) of the Internal Revenue Act. Because FaithStreams Network members may have divergent views on legislative issues, Web site content may not attempt to influence legislation.

While the content for the website may reflect the organization's point of view and may educate visitors on various aspects of matters before federal, state or local legislative bodies, the website content may not urge viewers to contact legislators to urge support or opposition to a bill before the body, or to otherwise attempt to influence legislative matters. However, visitors may be urged to participate in governmental affairs, to voice their opinions to elected officials, and to vote.

CONTROVERSIAL AND SENSITIVE ISSUES
FaithStreams Network is committed to helping people articulate the basic questions raised with respect to controversial issues.

In dealing with controversial issues FaithStreams Network requires that organizations use utmost discretion in presenting their material. Material must be presented in a respectful fashion, one that encourages dialogue, debate, and understanding.

The following list of controversial and/or sensitive issues (in alphabetical order) is not exhaustive. Other issues that present themselves as controversial and/or sensitive will be subject to the same standards as those listed below:

Abortion
On this extremely difficult and sensitive subject, particularly for the faith community, FaithStreams Network permits the differing positions to be stated, but prohibits the maligning, demeaning, discrimination, or stereo-typing of any individual or group of individuals for their position(s) and/or action(s) on this issue.

Anti-Semitism and All Human Rights Issues
FaithStreams Network encourages dialogue on, and exploration of, these critical issues, but prohibits the expression of anti-Semitism or any derogatory sentiments concerning basic human rights for all peoples in any material on the FaithStreams Network websites.

Homosexuality
On this extremely difficult and sensitive subject, particularly for the faith community, FaithStreams Network permits the differing positions to be stated, but prohibits the maligning, demeaning, discrimination, or stereo-typing of any individual or group of individuals for their position(s) on the issue, or for their action(s) and/or lifestyle.

Pseudo-Sciences
Information that leads visitors to believe in such things as fortune-telling, astrology, phrenology, palm-reading, occultism, mind-reading, and numerology as providing direction and guidance for life are not permitted.

Racism
FaithStreams Network encourages dialogue on, and exploration of, this critical issue, but prohibits its expression in any material on the FaithStreams Network websites.

Sexism
FaithStreams Network encourages dialogue on, and exploration of, this critical issue, but prohibits its expression in any material on the FaithStreams Network websites.

ACCURACY
In recognition that what is written or shown may not always be the same as what the visitor perceives, every effort should be made to communicate as accurately and as clearly as possible.
Care must be taken to see that all material presented is accurate, both technically and factually.

LANGUAGE
Language must be appropriate and acceptable to the mass audience. Blasphemy, profanity, and obscenity are not permitted.

Materials should be sensitive to the importance of inclusive language.

FaithStreams Network has no obligation to monitor the Communication Services. However, we reserve the right to review materials posted to a Communication Service and to remove any materials in our sole discretion. FaithStreams Network reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of the Communication Services at any time without notice.

FaithStreams Network reserves the right at all times to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in our sole discretion.

Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself or your children in any Communication Service. FaithStreams Network does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Communication Service and, therefore, FaithStreams Network specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Communication Services and any actions resulting from your participation in any Communication Service. Managers and hosts are not authorized FaithStreams Network spokespersons, and their views do not
necessarily reflect those of FaithStreams Network.
