Appointed Time Press, LLC

Appointed Time Press, LLC Privacy Policy

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Appointed Time Press, LLC. We are grateful for your interest in our company and our work, and appreciate the time taken to read and/or reference this Privacy Policy. The security and privacy of your personal data is of utmost importance to us. Personal data is termed as PII, which stands for Personally Identifiable Information. PII is any information that can be used to collectively identify you. Most PII in the online world consists of your name, phone number, address, and other such private information. However, PII can now also include your IP address, and other internet data associated with your device which are tracked by browsers and cookies upon any given website.

Our goal with this Privacy Policy is to present you clear and understandable information in common terms regarding our management of your PII and its privacy and security protection.

Let it hereby be known and understood that we, Appointed Time Press, LLC (a.k.a. “we”, “us”, “our”), can and will address and/or reference within this Privacy Policy its Reader, Recipient, Data Subject, Visitor, or End User as “you”, “your”, “yourself”, “them”, “they”, or “their”. These terms can address and/or reference any respective individual or entity.

The use of the internet pages of Appointed Time Press, LLC is possible without any collection of PII; however, if you want to use company services via our website, the processing of your PII could become necessary. If the processing of PII is necessary we will obtain your consent. Consent may be obtained in various ways, appropriate to the service provided. Consent can be (1) Explicit: such as in writing with a signature, entering personal data into an online form, or giving confirmation via a double opt-in. Consent can also be (2) Passive: provided by a clear affirmative action such as with clicking a clearly-labeled button or scrolling a page. Regardless of how consent is rendered by the end user or obtained by us, it is legally identified and recognized with the same validity.

It is our policy and goal to secure and use only the most minimal data possible to fulfill the proposed request or obligation.

The processing of your personal data (PII), such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Appointed Time Press, LLC which resides in the United States of America. We are beholden to no other nation State. By means of this data protection declaration, Appointed Time Press, LLC would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, we hereby inform you, by means of this Privacy Policy, of the rights to which you are entitled as a user or visitor.

As the controller of such data, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of your PII processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps which are outside our control. Despite aggressive measures to mitigate any risks, a level of risk may always be present. Therefore, absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every visitor/user must make a well-informed decision of their own free will in whether or not to use or interact with this website, or engage in any interactions with our company. Although we have taken ample measures to mitigate risk, we do not claim our website to be free of risk. Therefore, all such visitors/users must engage at their own risk. With respect to those inherent risks, which may or may not be present, please see our Terms and Conditions.

When appropriate, you are free to transfer your personal data to us via alternative means, (e.g. by postal service, fax, phone, etc.). However, let it be known that we are free of any liability when doing so, as we cannot control how your information will be handled by any postal service or third party.

How a visitor/user transfers their data to us, and upon what basis, is strictly at their discretion.

(1). Definitions

The definitions within this document are outlined below for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. In an effort to ensure understandability, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

Terms and Their Respective Definitions:

a)    Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Personally Identifiable Information is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b)   Visitor/End User

The visitor/end user is any identified or identifiable natural person or human being, company, or entity whose personal data is processed by this company.

c)    Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on PII or on sets of PII, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, deletion, or destruction.

d)    Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored PII with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.

e)    Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of PII consisting of the use of PII to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f)     Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of PII by way of a pseudonym. As such, the PII can no longer be attributed to you as a specific visitor/user without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that your PII is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. For example, if your pseudonym is a number, code, or alias, there is no way to identify you as a natural person without additional information. That additional information is key, and must be stored separately to protect that identifiability. Otherwise the pseudonym is of no purpose. But when used properly, a pseudonym provides a level of privacy and security that cannot easily be breached.

g)    Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. This may be one or more of the following: a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which offices alone or jointly with others.

h)    Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i)      Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the PII are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive PII in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with the nation State shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

j)      Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the visitor/user, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k)    Consent

Consent of the visitor/user is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the visitor/user’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of PII relating to them.

(3). Cookies

The website of Appointed Time Press, LLC uses various types of cookies. Cookies are tiny text files that are stored in a computer system via an internet browser. They are the butlers of the internet world, which make browsing the web seamless and smooth. They are unseen and elusive, serving us very well in all our online activities. If we did not have cookies, our online experiences would be wrought with havoc and internet sites would not function properly. There are various types of cookies which perform very distinct functions. Not all cookies collect or gather your data. But some do, and rightly need to if you’re to be properly serviced via the web.

Many internet sites and servers use cookies. Most cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for that specific cookie. It consists of a character string through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which that cookie was stored. This allows visited internet sites and servers to differentiate your individual browser from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using that unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Appointed Time Press, LLC can provide you with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and any offers available on our website can be optimized with the visitor/user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website visitors/users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for them to utilize our website. For example, a website visitor/user who allows cookies does not have to enter data each time the website is accessed because the website recognizes the cookie stored on their computer system or device.

You may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, previous cookies may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in most common internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in your internet browser, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable or served appropriately.

For more specific information on cookies and how they are used by our company, please see our Cookie Policy.

(4). Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Appointed Time Press, LLC collects a series of general data and information when a visitor or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the internet site, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Appointed Time Press, LLC does not draw any conclusions about you as the visitor/user. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, we analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our company, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all PII you willingly provide or to which you consent.

(5). Contact possibility via the Website

The website of Appointed Time Press, LLC contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, your PII is transmitted and automatically stored. Such PII is transmitted on a voluntary basis by you as the visitor/end user to us, the Data Controller, and is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you.

The functionality of all contact forms on the website are enabled by Contact Form 7, which is a plugin for WordPress. When a contact form is filled out, the information you entered is automatically stored and processed by our server. Once our server processes that request, we receive an email. All emails are processed via Google’s G-Suite platform with the assistance of their Captcha service.

We retain your information for the duration of time required to fulfill the proposed request or inquiry, or for the duration of the contract between you and our company. Unless a contract has specific dates and terms outlined by which it becomes null or void, all such information will be kept on file indefinitely for legal purposes. In instances of unlawful behavior, or where legal measures are necessitated, information may be stored indefinitely. All exchanged information may be stored in secured company files via our Dropbox or Google company accounts.

No information shared by any visitor/user is used for marketing purposes.

(6). Contact with our company outside the Website

You may choose to contact us outside of the website via postal mail at the following address:

Appointed Time Press, LLC, 500 S. Lynn Riggs Blvd., Ste #371, Claremore, OK 74017, U.S.A.

We do not provide a public phone or fax number at this time.

We use UPS, FedEx, and USPS to correspond with our customers and to conduct official business. These entities will require your information to fulfill a request. That information usually includes the following: your name, mailing address, phone number, and possibly an email for tracking purposes.

The shipping and receipt of your packages and correspondence is very important to us. We want to make sure this is a smooth and timely process. We will always provide notification via email prior to shipment with tracking information. For business correspondence and transactions we may also require your signature upon receipt.

We kindly ask that you contact us via the form provided prior to any shipment for accurate and timely processing.

Please do not send blind packages, as they will not be opened. Blind packages are those without a return address, proper tracking, or prior correspondence.

We have no obligation to return to the sender. If returning to the sender is necessary, we will attempt contact via email.

We do not accept solicitations. All solicitations will be discarded and/or destroyed.

(7). Comments function in the Blog on the Website

Appointed Time Press, LLC offers you the possibility of leaving individual comments on our website blog via our Clean and Kind Comment Policy. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people may post articles in what is known as ‘blogposts’. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties. Some blogs restrict comments entirely or moderate them prior to posting.

If you leave a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user’s (pseudonym) chosen by you. In addition, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the user is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the user violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of this PII is, therefore, in the own interest of this company, so that we can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected PII will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of our company.

When users leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

For more information please reference our Clean and Kind Comment Policy.

(8). Subscription to Comments in the Blog on the Website

The comments made on our blog may be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commenter subscribes to the comments following his comments on a particular blog post.

If you decide to subscribe to the option, we will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to check the double opt-in procedure as to whether the owner of the specified e-mail address decided in favor of this option. The option to subscribe to comments may be terminated by you at any time.

(9). Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

We shall process and store your PII only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by United States laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the United States expires, the PII is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

(10.) Lawful Blocking and the Rights of Appointed Time Press, LLC

Cybersecurity crimes and other unlawful social interactions and behaviors warrant blocking, and may also warrant reporting a visitor/user to the authorities at our discretion.

Appointed Time Press, LLC maintains the sovereign, distinct, and lawful right to block and/or report to the authorities any visitor/user who has acted unlawfully toward this company or another visitor/user. This includes breaches of cybersecurity laws and other social interactions that are threatening, seeking to harm, propose risk, are illegal, or are otherwise deemed harmful by this company. This includes hacks, brute force attacks, phishing, unlawful internet behaviors, malicious intent, malevolent public or private comments, and other social interactions that propose risk or harm to us, the public, or any other individual or entity.

Appointed Time Press, LLC has judicially blocked specific countries that propose cybersecurity risks and/or threats, propose any known threats to the free world, or are otherwise deemed suspect or unsafe for internet interactions. These blocks include all failed states with escalating crime. All data breaches from these areas of the world will be permanently blocked and/or reported to the authorities when deemed necessary. Suspicious behaviors from these areas, or from any visitor/user from these areas, are logged and tracked via IP address, along with any visitor/user information pertinent to the proposed breach or threat in accordance with the laws of the United States of America.

Appointed Time Press, LLC, holds the right to preserve its own entity in the interest of its own security as well as that of its users and visitors. Being able to maintain that security warrants a constant study and awareness of cybersecurity crimes and trends, as well as other internet social behaviors in collaboration with our security teams. In an attempt to provide a viable service and platform, we diligently study cybersecurity trends, risks, crimes, and threats. Known active cyber attacks from a specific region or country will warrant a country block which may be deemed permanent. Therefore, country blocking is always subject to the sole discretion of Appointed Time Press, LLC in an attempt to mitigate risk and harm.

Blocked countries are denied access to this website, being served a ‘country block’ notice upon attempting internet access. Any and all attempts to circumvent that block, whether criminal or not, will warrant a permanent block to any individual or entity. All such activities are permanently logged. These may also warrant a report to the proper authorities of the United States of America. All such blocks are hereby permanent.

(11). Rights of the Visitor/User

a) Right of Confirmation

You shall have the right to obtain from us the confirmation as to whether or not your PII is being processed or has been processed. If you wishes to avail yourself of this right of confirmation, you may, at any time, contact us (the Controller).

Appointed Time Press, LLC will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

See our Right to Be Forgotten for more information, or to submit a request.

f) Right to Data Portability

You shall have the right to receive your PII concerning you, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You shall have the right to transmit that data, or data sets, to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the PII has been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising your right to data portability you shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to assert the right to data portability, you may at any time contact Appointed Time Press, LLC.

g) Right to Object

You shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time, to processing of PII concerning you.

Appointed Time Press, LLC does not perform direct marketing or profiling.

In order to exercise the right to object, you must contact Appointed Time Press, LLC.

h) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

You shall have the right to withdraw your consent to processing of your personal data at any time.

If you wish to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, you may, at any time, contact Appointed Time Press, LLC.

(12). Data Protection for Applications and the Application Procedures

Appointed Time Press, LLC makes a distinction between applicants from the United States of America and other countries or nation States. These include both volunteer and employment applications. The duration of retention of the applicant’s information is where the distinction lies. In the event of a declination, all applications will be retained for six months for United States citizens or legal residents. All other applications will be retained for a total of two months if a declination was served to the applicant.

Appointed Time Press, LLC shall collect and process the PII of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. No such application data will be collected or processed online via the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents for any person outside the United States shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure or deletion.

(13). Legal basis for the processing

The processing of PII is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. When our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of PII is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, processing will be carried out in accordance with the laws to which they apply. In rare cases, the processing of PII may be necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person. Finally, processing operations could be based on the legal basis used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the above mentioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the visitor/user which require protection of PII.

(14). The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Appointed Time Press, LLC has an invested and legitimate interest in carrying out our purpose, mission, vision, objectives, and goals with respect to those we serve, whereby the processing of data becomes necessary. To carry out such tasks we contract with third parties in the capacity to which they serve our vested interests and needs.

(15). Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of PII is determined by the time required to fulfill your respective request or inquiry, and any subsequent obligations. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the request, inquiry, or contract. Exceptions to this rule are when data may be kept indefinitely for administrative, security, or legal purposes as necessary. Any visitor/user information related to cybercrime or other criminal behaviors will be permanent unless contraindicated.

(16). Provision of PII as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the visitor/user to provide the PII; possible consequences of failure to provide such data.

We clarify that the provision of PII is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that a visitor/user provides us with PII, which must subsequently be processed by us. The visitor/user is, for example, obliged to provide us with PII when our company signs a contract with them. The non-provision of that PII would have the consequence that the contract could not be concluded. Before PII is provided by the visitor/user, they must contact Appointed Time Press, LLC. We will clarify to the visitor/user whether the provision of their PII is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

(17.) Third-Party Links

Appointed Time Press, LLC uses third party links. Those links are carefully chosen for our visitors and audience, and must meet security standards. We will not link to sites that are not encrypted with an SSL certificate.

Occasionally, at our discretion, Appointed Time Press, LLC may include or offer third-party products or services on our website, including affiliate links. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites, products, services, and their links.

Third party links to other blogs, videos, media sources, organizations, ministries, and products will occasionally be used to further legitimize, support, or give credibility toward the message of this company when appropriate, especially with regard to guest blog posts, networking, advocacy work, ministry efforts, and interviews. In such instances links are checked for accuracy. If ever they are in question, such links can be reported by the said audience(s).  If ever such links are erroneous, re-routed, or broken, please kindly notify us in writing so this can be resolved as quickly as possible.

Appointed Time Press, LLC maintains the sole responsibility and right to determine which third-party links are initially acceptable for use, and upon what basis they are to be added, modified, or deleted.

Appointed Time Press, LLC holds the sole right to either fulfill or decline a written request to permanently remove (delete) a third-party link when notified in writing. Such requests must be substantiated. Our decision to remove links, if approved, are contingent upon proven ownership of the URL, website, or the media contained within it by the requesting party via authorizing internet sources. If approved, such requests for removal will be confirmed with written documentation by Appointed Time Press, LLC upon completion of the removal. All such correspondence and the documentation accompanying it will be kept on file indefinitely for legal purposes.

(18.) Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Appointed Time Press, LLC takes great care to abide by COPPA. We believe the lives of children are extraordinarily precious and sacred.

Appointed Time Press, LLC DOES NOT market to children under the age of 13.

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

Please note that Appointed Time Press, LLC website is rated “G” for General Audiences and is family friendly. However, we strongly and consistently recommend that parents and/or guardians always provide oversight and/or preview the material their children are viewing.

If ever there is a topic presented on this site that would consist of adult material that may be inappropriate for children under the age of 13 (i.e. topics regarding marriage, sex, history, cultural abuse, etc.), we will provide the necessary and appropriate warning prior to reading or viewing so parents can take appropriate action without delay.

We require any user to be 13 years of age or older to fill out a form on this site. In an attempt to protect minors, we include an explicit attestation of age on our Contact Form.

II. California Compliance

Our compliance with additional privacy laws that are state-specific are outlined below, specifically those where further information may be of interest for US citizens.

(I.) California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA Appointed Time Press, LLC agrees to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously
• Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’, and can be easily be found on the page specified above.
• Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy page.
• Users are able to change their personal information by contacting us via email or by unsubscribing and resubscribing with their updated information. NO registered account is offered for users in which information is stored or accessed.

How does our site handle do not track signals?

We cannot promise a DNT (Do Not Track) signal or mechanism is going to be effective in blocking any cookies from our site, although it will hide an IP address. DNT’s are not to be confused with Third-Party Behavioral Tracking.

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?

Yes, Appointed Time Press, LLC allows third-party behavioral tracking for (1) Security, (2) SEO, and (3) data aggregation monitoring website interactions.

(II.) CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (active 01/01/2020)

Appointed Time Press, LLC applauds the CCPA in its endeavors. After careful review of all our policies, Appointed Time Press, LLC has determined we are indeed compliant with the CCPA as of 01-01-2020.
