Cookies

Like many websites, this website sets and uses cookies to enhance your user experience — to remember your personal settings, for instance.

However, the parties providing the advertising do not have access to this site's cookies. These parties usually use non-personally-identifiable or anonymous codes to obtain information about your visits to this site.

Please note that turning off advertising cookies won’t mean that you are not served any advertising, merely that it will not be tailored to your interests.

If you contact us with a request to delete your personal account and data, we will make reasonable efforts to fulfill your request. However, it is important to note that there could be instances where we might be unable to delete some data associated with you, such as (but not limited to) purchase records. Decisions about which records to preserve will be made at our sole discretion, taking into consideration the essential nature of these records for critical business operations.

Notification of Changes

This policy may be revised over time as new features are added to Hymnary or as we incorporate suggestions from our users. The Hymnary is not responsible for notifying users of changes to this policy.
