Woman’s Missionary Union’s Web sites log IP addresses for system administration purposes only. IP addresses are logged to track a user’s session. This gives Woman’s Missionary Union an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. This information is collected solely for statistical purposes. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means a user’s session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous. A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them.

A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages that you’ve visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard drive or read cookies created by other sites. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to view most sites maintained by Woman’s Missionary Union. You do need to accept cookies to participate in some of the games and contests and to place an order at the online bookstore.

If you provide WMU with your email address, you may occasionally receive direct communications or promotional material from us. Your email address will not be shared with a third party.

Woman’s Missionary Union has taken measures to ensure the safety of your credit card use on our site. Orders placed at our online bookstore are in a secured area. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, the industry standard and best available secure transaction technology. If you are still uncomfortable transmitting your credit card information over the Internet, you may contact Customer Service at 1-800-968-7301, and they will assist you in completing your order.
