Summary
The mission of GraceWorks
Ministries is to raise up the next generation of Godly Christian
leaders by helping Christian schools become all that God has called
them to be.
Integrity is the foundation
of everything we do. Therefore, we protect the privacy of our
on-line visitors. No information you share, on-line or
otherwise, with GraceWorks Ministries will ever be shared with
another third party -- ever in any way.
We do not allow our mailing or
email lists to be rented or used by third parties.
Email This Page to a
Friend
We do not collect any email
addresses from “Email This Page to a Friend.” This
information is used only one-time to send a link, and immediately
deleted. GraceWorks does track how often this feature is used
or what pages are sent.
Parental Satisfaction
Survey Confidentiality
Because of its significant
importance of parent satisfaction survey research, GraceWorks will never collect parental contact
information of any kind on its ongoing parental satisfaction
surveys. This is our firm policy -- no exceptions
--
regardless of the wishes of any particular school.
Parental Confidentiality
in Other GraceWorks Research
For marketing, pre-campaign
studies, and all GraceWorks’ parental research, all schools must
give GraceWorks Ministries written permission to collect any
parental information.
Upon the completion of research,
this information is removed from all computers, and stored in locked
archival files for both the benefit of the client, as well as
possible meta or longitudinal research later. Parent contact
information is never shared with anyone in any way.
In addition, in conducting
parental and other research, GraceWorks assumes by default that
all information collected from parents is confidential unless
parents themselves proactively give us permission to share their
concern specifically with their school. For electronic surveys,
confidentiality is the default answer, and is assumed if parents do not
answer the confidentiality question.
Permission-Based
Communication
As a matter of Christian
stewardship, our goal is to never contact people by email, regular
mail, phone call, visit or otherwise if they do not wish it.
To the greatest extent possible, we intend to acquire new clients
through word of mouth -- or word of mouse -- referrals.
Information Collection
Procedures
The purpose of collecting
information about you or your school is to help you serve your
Christian school better, as well as to help Christian schools in
general. It is our policy and practice to only collect
information that is essential to helping Christian schools.
The amount of information
GraceWorks collects about you is directly proportional to the depth
of relationship we have with you.
Consistent with what we
recommend to all clients, GraceWorks will only send you emails if
you have invited us to do so by expressing interest or need in an
area that directly relates to GraceWorks’ mission and work.
Client Confidentiality
In both client training and
publications, GraceWorks uses the case study approach pioneered by
Harvard Business School. However in so doing, your situation will never be
shared in a way that can be traced back to your school specifically.
With that one exception, all
other client information remains confidential to the same degree you
require of your own employees and board members.
Removal From Further
Communication
It is the policy of GraceWorks
to immediately remove from further communication anyone who requests
the same. To be removed, simply reply to any email communication
with “remove” in the subject line.
Cookies
At the present time, GraceWorks’
website does not place cookies on your computer. It is our
goal to avoid doing this into the future, unless it becomes clear
that using cookies will significantly enhance our ability to serve our
clients. Should that happen, this confidentiality statement will be
updated to disclose that.
In general, websites use
cookies to provide context-sensitive information to users --
providing you information about topics you have expressed an
interest in the past.
To accomplish this goal in the
same way without cookies, GraceWorks uses a simple yet robust
navigation system, along with a solid search capability. In addition, we provide numerous ways for
schools to receive free information directly related to their
specific needs.
Credit Card Information
At the present time, GraceWorks
uses PayPal for all electronic transactions. PayPal is widely
recognized as the leading payment processor in the world. Only
PayPal sees your credit card information; GraceWorks does not
collect or maintain any credit card information.
If orders are
phoned in, these are immediately entered into GraceWorks'
PayPal shopping cart.
