Graduate & Faculty Ministries: Privacy Policy

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's Graduate & Faculty Ministries respect you, so we treat with respect any information that you submit to us when you contact us online, by email, phone, fax, or mail.

This statement discloses the privacy practices for the Graduate & Faculty Ministries (GFM) website. We are deeply committed to respecting your privacy, and wish to clearly state what we do with the following information you might submit to us on the site.

What personally identifiable information is collected

Depending on what you do on this site, personally identifiable information collected may range from none (just visiting) to extensive (filling out required and optional fields in an online registration form).

How the information is used

We use the information for the purposes of communicating with you as requested by you, or with regards to your plans to participate in this website or in GFM events or activities.

With whom the information will be shared

The information you provide on this site may occasionally be shared with third parties we regard as partners in ministry for the purposes of alerting you to events or opportunities of likely interest. Members of the Emerging Scholars Network will have controlled access to colleagues' contact information for the sole purpose of academic or spiritual collaboration. But personal information you provide will never be released for marketing purposes.

This site's opt-out policy

Any email list you sign up for will provide the capability for you to opt-out at any time.

GFM's website and your privacy

We respect your right to privacy and we understand that our visitors need to be in control of their personal information. We also want to present information on the GFM website that is tailored to the needs of our visitors. For this reason, we may ask you to register or to provide personal information when you visit certain areas of the site, submit your own comments or reviews or questions, or subscribe to a newsletter. We will use the personal information you share with us to ensure the content and services that we provide on the site are tailored to your current and future needs.

If you provide the GFM website with your mailing address or telephone number, InterVarsity may use this information to alert you to special information. If you provide your email address, we may contact you via email as well. If you do not want us to contact you, you may opt out when you provide personal information or contact GFM directly. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still visit most of the GFM web pages. However, you will not have access to areas that require personal identification and won't be able to participate in discussions or interaction on the site.

How GFM will protect your personal information

We will protect the personal information that you share with us. If you register on-line, we will use your credit card number only to process your payment. We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes. If we request demographic information, we will not share information about you as an individual with third parties. If we do share demographic information with third parties, we will give them aggregate information only.

How to update your personal information

You can help GFM maintain the accuracy of your personal information by notifying us when you change your address, phone number, or email address. If at any time you wish to update your information or stop receiving communication from us, please contact us. Please include your old and new contact information so that we can make the appropriate corrections.

GFM would like to receive your comments and questions about this privacy policy. Please address comments or questions regarding our privacy practices to any of the addresses on our contact page. We may occasionally update this policy. Notice of revisions will be posted here.
