OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY:

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and on any other pages where any information may be requested.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT:

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the website www.chataboutjesus.com operated by Need Him Ministries. The only purpose in collecting information is so we can have an online chat conversation about what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The type of information collected is limited to First Name and the topic that brings you to our site. We do not attempt to collect any personally identifiable information such as last name, email address or other data that would allow us to identify the exact person we are chatting with online or ever follow up with that person.

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION:

For example, if we see a large percentage of topics include questions about forgiveness then we will use that information to better train and equip our responders to discuss that topic but we do not collect or disclose anything that could be used to identify the individuals that visit our site.

OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN'S PRIVACY:
