Restoring The Foundations International, Inc.
Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting the Restoring The Foundations International, Inc.’s (RTFI) website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Notice describes the privacy practices of RTFI only and does not cover the practices of other companies, including those that may sponsor content, products or services on any Site or Service. We provide this notice to assure you of your privacy by helping you understand our commitment to security, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit our websites, how we may use that information, and how you can correct the information.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Automatically Collected Anonymous Information
When you visit the RTFI website, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged as it is at most websites. This may include information about your IP address, domain name, browser type, mobile device type, access time, and referring website address. This information is not personally identifiable and is only used in aggregate (not in any way that personally identifies you). This collection may take place while you are using the Site or while the Site is running in the background of your device.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information about you as an individual that would enable someone to contact you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number, email address, payment data). We may ask for such information when you subscribe to an email newsletter, sign up for membership, order a product or website subscription or other product or service, participate in an online survey, post a comment, enter a contest or sweepstakes, event, promotion, or use a service or tool. At the RTFI websites, you may submit information about other people (for example, you may submit a recipient’s name and address to send a gift). We will use this information only to fulfill your request and for no other purpose.
You can visit and browse our open website without revealing any PII, but you may not be able to access certain content, features or services if you choose not to disclose PII. We will not collect any PII unless you provide it to us. Providing any PII to us is voluntary. If you do not want us to obtain any personally identifiable information about you, do not submit it.
How We Use This Information
Aggregated information may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about the usage patterns of our visitors to learn which pages are most popular or what features are most interesting. We may occasionally share this information with ministry and business partners, but it cannot be used to contact you individually.
PII you provide voluntarily may be used in one or more of the following ways:
RTFI may use PII to provide Internet security and to meet legal requirements. We may share your information as we believe is necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, or defend our legal rights, the privacy or safety of our employees and volunteers, users of the Site or Service or other individuals and entities, or to comply with or enforce applicable industry standards, law or legal process. As a result, we reserve the right to cooperate with law enforcement officials in the investigation of alleged unlawful activities committed on or through our websites. We may disclose PII in the course of officially authorized law enforcement investigations or as required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, court order, warrant, subpoena, other requests from public and government authorities or other legal process served on RTFI. Further, in the event of a suspected attempt to deliberately circumvent our websites’ security with the intent to gain unauthorized access or to do physical damage, we may share PII about a suspected intruder with law enforcement officials. We shall have no legal liability for such disclosures. Notwithstanding any of the above, we reserve the right to challenge the validity of any subpoena, court order, warrant or other legal process, in its sole discretion.
If you choose to post comments to a blog or article, any information you submit may become public. It may become accessible through search engines or, if you sign in using credentials from a third-party social networking service, it may become accessible to users on that service. Unless otherwise noted, we do not limit the distribution of information that you share using these features. RTFI is not responsible for any personal information you choose to make public via these forums, and you agree that such sharing will be deemed to have been permitted by you, not RTFI. Do not submit such information if you prefer it to not be published.
If you choose to submit content for publication (for example, a testimony), we may publish any information you have provided to us. If you prefer not to have your PII published, do not include it in your submission.
If you make a purchase or place an order through or in connection with a Site or Service, we use your payment card information (e.g., your card number and expiration date) for limited purposes such as to process your transaction (including recurring payments, if applicable) and to provide you with the requested products or services.
Opt-Out Options
If you wish to opt out of the use of your PII for marketing purposes, please let us know via the following manner:
Email Subscribers: You may opt out of receiving marketing or promotional emails from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link contained in such emails. Please keep in mind that if you opt out of receiving marketing or promotional emails, we may still send you transactional emails or other communications relating to your use of the Site or Services.
Direct mail: You may request that we stop sending you postal mail through the US post office by notifying us in writing at PO Box 1418, Mount Juliet, TN 37121-1418. Please indicate in your correspondence the name of the Site or publication which your request applies.
Co-Branded, Co-Sponsored or Cross-Promotional Offerings: If you choose to participate in a co-branded, co-sponsored or cross-promotional offering, you must contact the relevant third-party directly to exercise your opt-out choices with respect to such party’s use of your information.
Print or Site Subscribers, Online Store Customers and Other Information Sources:
Please remember that opt-outs are browser and device-specific.
Cookies & Web Beacons
Cookies are a technology that helps us serve you better. Our cookies collect no personally identifiable information. We use cookies in the following manner:
You have the choice to set your browser to accept all cookies, notify you when a cookie is set, delete cookies periodically, or reject all cookies. You may generally opt-out of Google Analytics’ cookies here. Typically, deleting or rejecting cookies also disables web beacons. Please be aware that rejecting all cookies may prevent you from enjoying the full features offered through RTFI’s websites. If you choose to disable the use of cookies in your web browser, some features of the Site may become difficult to use or unavailable. Check the “Help” section of your browser for more information.
Any third-party service providers and advertisers may also use cookies to manage and measure the performance of advertisements displayed on or delivered by or through our websites and to provide more relevant advertising. Any third-party service providers or advertisers may use web beacons or similar technologies, which are small pieces of code placed on a web page or in an email newsletter, to monitor the behavior and collect data about the visitors viewing the web page or email newsletter. (For example, web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page, open an email newsletter, or deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing a web page.)
Collection of Information by Third-Parties, Sponsors, and Ad Servers
Advertisers and websites that have links on our websites may collect information directly from you if you click an advertisement or link to visit another website. This Privacy Policy applies only to information you provide to us and not to any information you may provide to a third-party. Please consult the privacy policy of any other website you visit to know what information they may collect and how they may use it.
Sometimes RTFI partners with third-parties that operate websites and services on our behalf. Such operations and provisions may include payment card processing, email distribution, list processing, postal mailing, cloud computing, analytics, digital content performance measurement, ad serving and managing sweepstakes, contests, promotions, or events (as specified in the ‘Official Rules’). These service providers use the information we provide as necessary or appropriate for the performance of their services. In some cases, we may be co-branded, co-sponsored or cross-promoting with a third-party. When you provide personal information via a co-branded website, you may have the option of providing it to either or both parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third-parties may obtain PII that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the website activity. We have no control over these third-parties’ use of this information.
RTFI may provide readers the convenience of signing onto our websites using third-party social login credentials for accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linked-In, or Google (Social Media Platforms). When you engage with our content or ads on Social Media Platforms, or interact with features on the Site that contain content or features provided by Social Media Platforms (e.g., login or sign in features or tools that allow you to share our content with others on Social Media Platforms, join an RTFI designated social group), we may obtain information from Social Media Platforms, including your username, user ID, demographic information and other information, subject to the settings and privacy practices of the relevant Social Media Platform. We may obtain this information directly from the Social Media Platform or through plug-ins, integrations, or applications. Please keep in mind that the operators of the Social Media Platforms may also gather information about your use of the Digital Services and their features and tools.
Ad Choices
Some of the advertisements you may see on RTFI websites are delivered by third-parties who may also collect information through cookies and web beacons about your online activities on RTFI websites or across the Internet, in an effort to understand your interests and deliver advertisements that are relevant to you. Often our ads are based on the content of pages you are viewing, but third-parties may also provide ads tailored to your interests. Please keep in mind that if you opt out of interest-based ads, you will still see ads, but these ads will not be based on your inferred interests.
Use by Minors
RTFI’s websites are general audience sites. If you are under the age of 13, you may not access or use the Site or provide information to us without permission from a parent or legal guardian. If you are not of an age old enough to enter into contracts in your state (i.e., a minor), you need to review this Privacy Policy with your parent or guardian before using the Site and/or Services; if your parent or guardian do not agree with the Privacy Policy as applied to you, then you are not authorized to access or use the Site.
Any information collected online by RTFI from children under 18 is used only for the purpose of delivering the requested product or service. Please instruct children to ask for permission before providing any information about themselves to RTFI.
Your California Privacy Rights
Beginning on January 1, 2005, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 requires RTFI (1) to enable its customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding its disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes or (2) to offer the opportunity for customers to opt out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We have always offered the second option, as described above in the “How We Use This Information” section. If you prefer not to receive such direct marketing offers, please feel free to make your request known as explained above.
Beginning on January 1, 2014, an amendment to Section 22575 of California’s Business and Professions Code requires RTFI to disclose to its customers who are California residents how it responds to Web browser do not track (“DNT”) signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party Web sites or online services.

This website is governed by and operated in accordance with the laws of the United States of America (USA).
