This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to the MyPD application (the “App”) and the website located at mypd.wycliffe.org (the “Site”). The App and the Site (collectively, the “Digital Tools”) are owned and operated by Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. (“Wycliffe” or “we”, “us,” or “our). By using the Digital Tools, you agree: (1) that you have read, understood, accepted, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions listed at https://get.mypd.wycliffe.org/terms-and-conditions and this Privacy Policy, and (2) that Wycliffe is permitted to collect and use your personal information as set forth below.

Purpose.

This aggregated tracking information does not include your personal information, but is instead limited to: (a) information such as the server your computer is logged onto and IP address, (b) your browser type (e.g., Google Chrome or Internet Explorer), and (c) the pages you view or request to view. This information allows us to assess trends in the use of our Site or purchases of products or services, develop content and functionality, and improve the service and products we provide.

    • Connected Services & Third Parties.

    These connections to third-party services are not required to use Our Site. Once you’ve clicked on a link or button activator for an outside Site, you will leave the Site and be taken to sites that we do not control, and our privacy policy no longer applies on those sites. You must read the privacy policy of the third party Web site concerning how personal information will be used. We also provide content created by third-parties on certain of our Sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Content Providers or Third-Party Sites.
    • Google . This Site offers the ability to link with Google Accounts you own. We allow connection with Google Accounts you own to provide integrations between Our Site and Google Calendar, Google Mail, and Google Contacts. Google Calendar and Our Site integrate to allow you to automatically keep your Google Calendar up to date with events going on in Our Site. For instance, if you create a task on Our Site with a due date, Our Site may create this appointment on your Google Calendar. Google Mail and Our Site integrate to allow you to automatically keep communications between you and your contacts up to date.

Our Site can also sync your Google Contacts and contacts on Our Site to allow information between the two systems to be kept up to date.

      • Online Behavioral Advertising.

      We may occasionally use advertising networks and services provided by third-party vendors. These services collect data about your interactions with the Digital Tools and use such data to target personal content and advertisements for goods and services. The data collected may be associated with your Personal Information. The targeted content and advertisements may appear on the Digital Tools and on other websites and may be sent to you via email. Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables the delivery of advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, we may use Google Ads to serve ads on our behalf across the internet and on the Digital Tools. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your visits to the Site and your interaction with products and services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the internet. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use of such data, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Digital Tools. To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Changing your settings with individual browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may occasionally still see our ads. You may visit https://www.google.com/settings/ads to opt out of Google’s use of cookies or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ to opt out of other third party vendors’ use of cookies.

      Required Disclosure of Information

      We also reserve the following rights to disclose your personal information to appropriate third-parties and connected services if we are required to do so by law or we believe such action is necessary: (1) for technical processing - we may need to view your information in connection with technical problems or network maintenance; (2) to protect Wycliffe’s rights, interest, and/or property; (3) to investigate reports of users sending material using a false email address or users sending harassing, threatening, subjective, or abusive messages; (4) to protect against fraud, misuse, or unauthorized use of the Digital Tools and/or ministry; (5) during emergencies (e.g., when we believe someone's physical safety is at risk); and (6) to comply with legal process (e.g., search warrant, subpoena or court order) or applicable laws.

      Children Under 13

      Parents should consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers to help supervise their children's online activities. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information online without parental permission. The Digital Tools are not directed to children under the age of 13. Wycliffe will not knowingly collect Personal Information from any child under the age of 13. We ask that minors (under the age of 13) not use the Digital Tools. If a child under the age of 13 has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child can email us to have their child's information removed from any further use at info_usa@wycliffe.org and request that such information be deleted from our records. Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information (e.g., name, email, mailing address, phone number) from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental or legal guardian consent in compliance with COPPA. No information should be submitted to this Site by visitors under the age of 13 without the express consent of a parent or legal guardian. Accessing and Modifying Information and Communication Preferences. If you have provided us any Personal Information, you may access, remove, review, and/or make changes to the same by contacting us as set forth below. We will make all reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our subscription databases. You cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails related to the Digital Tools (e.g., requests for support). Wycliffe may also deliver notifications to your mobile device (e.g., push notifications). You can disable these notifications by deleting the relevant service or by changing the settings on your mobile device.

      Changes to our Policy

      Wycliffe reserves the right to change or modify portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy linked from our “Homepage” on the Site so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Our Privacy Policy will indicate the date it was last updated (see below). Your continued use of this Site following posted changes of this Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of these changes.
