Who we are

Faith Bible College International’s purpose is to Mentor students for Spirit-filled leadership in Ministry, in light of the Great Commission. Our website address is http://faithbci.org/. For contact information, please visit here: http://faithbci.org/contact/

Our overall policy is extremely simple: If we collect information from you, we use it only for the purposes for which it was collected, and the other limited purposes outlined below. We will not sell or share your personally identifiable information with any third party except for in the instances described below.

Here are the details of our privacy policy. This statement may change over time — please review it periodically.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We collect some non-personally identifiable information automatically and some in our registration and contact forms. Non-personally identifiable information might include your IP address, the type of browser or operating system you use, the domain name from which you linked to our site, etc. We use this non-personally identifiable information to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website.

Cookies

We may use “cookies” to determine whether you have visited our site previously and to save and remember any preferences that you set while using our site. Our cookies cannot retrieve any other data from a hard drive or obtain an e-mail address. Although a user has the ability to modify most browsers to either accept all cookies, notify the user when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, it may not be possible to utilize certain services at Faith Bible College International if cookies are rejected.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Contact Forms

Our site’s registration and contact forms may request or require users to give us personally identifiable information (like their name, telephone number, mailing address and e-mail address). We may use the information from our registration and contact forms to contact the user, but users may opt-out of receiving future mailings (see the opt-out section below).

Our registration forms save your data locally as well as through our customer relationship management software Salesforce. We use Salesforce to log leads. Requests for information, applications, requests for course catalogs – any contact form on our website that visitors fill out will end up in Salesforce. We store data in that system indefinitely. We use Salesforce for email communication with leads, but not for email newsletters (see below). If you wish to view Salesforce’s privacy policy, you may do so by visiting this link: https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy/

We use Constant Contact for our email marketing.  We create email lists for our Constant Contact campaigns from leads generated through Salesforce. As addressed above, users may opt-out of receiving future mailings from Constant Contact by selecting the Unsubscribe button at the bottom of each email. If you wish to view Constant Contact’s privacy policy, you may do so by visiting this link: https://endurance.clarip.com/privacycenter/?brand=ctct

We will not sell or disclose your personally identifiable data to any third party that is not an affiliate of Faith Bible College International or Salesforce unless: (i) we transfer our business assets (as further described below); (ii) we first obtain permission from you; (iii) we need to share it with agents or contractors who perform services for us; or (iv) we are required by law to disclose it.
