WHAT BIBLES AT COST DOES (AND DOESN'T DO) WITH THE PERSONAL INFORMATION
WE COLLECT
General. Bibles At Cost uses personally identifiable information

opportunity to instruct us not to use your data in other ways (i.e., "opt-out").
Sharing Personal Information. Bibles At Cost may share personally identifiable
information with our affiliates or with some of our business partners
who would like to send you information about their products or services.
However,
when we collect your information you will have the opportunity to instruct
us not to share your information in these ways (i.e., opt-out").
LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES
Bibles At Cost has established relationships with advertisers and reputable
business partners that allow visitors to our Site to link directly
to sites operated by these partners. Some of these sites, may be
"co-branded" with a Bibles At Cost logo; however, they are not operated
or maintained by Bibles At Cost. These sites may collect personal information
from you. This Privacy Policy will apply to any personal
information we obtain in this manner from our partners.
Bibles At Cost chooses its advertisers and business partners carefully.
However, Bibles At Cost is not responsible for the content or practices
of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our
Site. These links are meant for the user's convenience only. Links
to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement or
approval by Bibles At Cost of the content, policies or practices
of such third
party sites. We are not responsible for any information these sites
may obtain and do not oversee their policies or practices in collecting
personal information. Therefore, once you have left this Site via

site.
This Site may also be linked to web sites operated by companies affiliated
with Bibles At Cost. Bibles At Cost may share information collected
by these affiliated companies; however, this
Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information we receive in
this manner. Visitors to our affiliated sites should still refer
to their separate privacy policies and practices when providing any
personally
identifiable information.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things,
which web pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks, if any, were
"clicked" by the visitor. Bibles At Cost, like most major web sites,
collects such information by placing small bits of information, known
as "cookies", on the hard drive of your computer to log IP addresses,
operating system (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), type of browser software (e.g., Netscape Navigator
or Internet Explorer), and Internet service providers (e.g., AOL or NET.COM) used by each visitor to
the Site.
Cookies enable us to do a number of things to make your visit and future visits to the site more
enjoyable. For example, cookies allow a visitor to quickly log on to a site he/she has used before by
storing a password. By tracking how many people visit our Site and where they go, we are able to
determine which part of the Site users like the best, which part needs some improvement and what
changes should be made. By obtaining this information, we are able to continually improve our Site and
bring you the best online experience possible.
Although the cookie itself does not collect any personally identifiable
information about a visitor, and Bibles At Cost does not use cookies
in order to obtain such information, the cookie can be used to
determine the IP address of the visitor's Internet Service Provider
and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity to
the Internet. Bibles At Cost may also disclose some of the non-personally
identifiable information we obtain to advertisers to inform them how
many people have seen or linked
to their advertisements on our Site. However, we do not disclose personally
identifiable information to these advertisers. Visitors may also
receive cookies from third parties, but Bibles At Cost cannot control
the content of these cookies.
Bibles At Cost does not save credit card information in a cookie.
You should consult your browser owner's manual for instructions on how to refuse cookies.
REVIEWING AND MAKING CHANGES TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Once we have received such proof and determined that it is satisfactory,

SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Bibles At Cost has established and maintains reasonable procedures

II. ADDITIONAL POLICIES THAT APPLY TO CHILDREN UNDER 13 KIDS AND INTERNET SAFETY
We at Bibles At Cost understand that the Internet presents an opportunity
for us to reach the public in new and exciting ways with information
about our programming, fun games, exciting sweepstakes and
contests, email, chat rooms, bulletin boards, and other forms of interactivity.
Bibles At Cost also recognizes the privacy concerns of parents, and
the importance of protecting the privacy of the information this
Site collects from children. Parents of children who visit this Site
can be confident that any personal information that may be provided
to this Site will be collected and maintained in accordance with
the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). Bibles At Cost
encourages parents to supervise their children's activities online
and to participate with their children's online activities whenever
possible.
However, we understand that parents may not always be able to supervise
their children's activities on the Internet. That's why Bibles At Cost
has developed a Site that parents can feel is safe for their children
and kids will find cool, informative, educational, and fun! Because
there's always room for improvement, Bibles At Cost welcomes any suggestions
on how to make the Site a better, safer place to
hang out.
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13
When a visitor to our Site is under the age of 13, Bibles At Cost does
not require the disclosure of more personally identifiable information
than is reasonably necessary for him or her to participate in an
activity as a condition of such participation.
Bibles At Cost may use different types of personally identifiable information
submitted to this Site by children under 13 in a variety of ways,
which are described below. In each instance, we comply with
the parental consent requirements of COPPA.
A. Use of a Child's Information by Bibles At Cost
- We may collect a child's email address in connection with a contest, sweepstakes or game for the sole
purpose of communicating with the child on a one-time-only basis (i.e., to contact a contest winner).
This information will not be used to re-contact the child, and will be deleted from our records when the
contest or game is over. Parental consent will be obtained before we send the winner a prize.
- We may collect a child's email address in order to respond more
than once to a child's specific request. For example, the child may want
to subscribe to an online newsletter or receive other online
communications from Bibles At Cost. In these instances Bibles At Cost
will also obtain a parent's email address along with the child's. Before
any
further contact with the child, Bibles At Cost will send an email to the
parent (a) notifying him or her we have collected the child's email
address in order to respond more than once to the child's request for a
subscription, information, etc; (b) informing the parent that he or
she can refuse us permission to contact the child, and how to do so;
and (c) informing the parent that if he or she does not respond to the
email within 72 hours, Bibles At Cost may use the child's information for
the purpose for which it was submitted.
- We may collect a child's personally identifiable information (including
name, email address, mailing address and phone number) for such activities
as chats, forums, surveys, games, guestbooks, bulletin
boards, requests for suggestions, subscription registrations, content
submissions, requests for products or services, or requests for additional
information. In these instances we will initially collect only the
child's name and online contact information and the email address of
the child's parent. Before using this information for any purpose, we
will send the parent an email that (a) informs the parent that we wish
to
collect and use the child's personal information and need the parent's
consent to do so, and (b) provides the parent with a link to access to
this Privacy Policy, which describes our information
collection and use policies as required by COPPA. If the proposed use
of the child's personal information does not involve disclosure to a third
party, then Bibles At Cost will ask the parent to provide
consent by return email. Upon receipt of the email consent, we will
send the parent a confirming email. If the proposed use of the child's
personal information involves disclosure to third parties, the email we
send to the parent will ask the parent either to (i) return by postal
mail or fax a consent form that will be
attached to the email, or (ii) call a toll free number where consent
can be given over the phone. If parental consent is not obtained by one
of these methods within one week Bibles At Cost will delete all of
the child's and parent's personally identifiable information from its
records. In addition, parents can revoke a prior consent at any time.
- We may collect a child's name and email address to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the
security of this Site, to protect against liability or as required or permitted by law. Information collected
for these reasons will not be used for any other purpose.
B. Sharing Children's Personal Information With Third Parties.
Bibles At Cost may share a child's personal with other affiliates who
may send you information about their products or services. These
third parties have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security
and integrity of the
personal information they obtain from Bibles At Cost. As noted above,
parents may exercise their option not to consent to the disclosure
of their
child's personal information to third parties. Parents may
consent to Bibles At Cost's collection and use of a child's personal
information without consenting to the disclosure of the information
to third
parties.
LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES
As noted in Section I of this Privacy Policy, this Site may link directly
to sites operated by Bibles At Cost advertisers, business partners
and affiliated companies. Those sites, which are not controlled by
Bibles At Cost may collect personal information from your
child. Parents should therefore check the
relevant site's privacy policy to understand how it collects and uses
children's personal information. Bibles At Cost will not
share in any personal information obtained by a site from a child
under the age of 13
unless that site follows the requirements of COPPA.
REVIEWING AND MAKING CHANGES TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13
