The Institute for Christian Anthropology (“Organization” or “we”) is committed to protecting your privacy through our compliance with this Policy. This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our websites and mobile apps, and informs you how we collect, use, maintain, protect, and share that information. This Policy applies only to information collected on instituteforchristiananthropology.org identityproject.tv, and any future site developed (the “Sites”). It does not apply to information collected offline. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices on any website not operated by the Company to which our Sites link or that links to our Sites.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When your computer or mobile device connects to the Sites and apps, our systems collect and monitor user information and behavior on how the Sites are utilized, such as the frequency and length of your visit and browser type. As with most sites, we automatically recognize and log the Internet URL from which you access the Sites. We may also log your internet protocol address or “IP address” (which may indicate the general location of your computer on the internet), internet service provider, and date/time stamp. Log files are used primarily for system administration and troubleshooting purposes.

We may use data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). This information helps us to improve our Sites and deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to: (i) remember your preferences and registration information; (ii) measure and research the effectiveness of our services and communications; (iii) customize the content to fit your geographical preferences; and (iv) recognize you when you return to our Sites.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection include cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Sites.
