Welcome to FaithMinders!

Welcome to FaithMinders, where we provide you with artistically handcrafted prayer tools - including custom created Catholic Rosaries, custom created Anglican Rosaries, Chaplets, beautiful custom Christian prayer beads (we can even take your favorite prayer and create a set of Christian prayer beads for that prayer!), and prayer malas that are individually created to celebrate your extraordinary life and provide you visual cues to be mindful of your faith throughout your day.

Inspirational gifts from FaithMinders not only inspire and rejuvenate you and your loved ones, but, our inspirational product line will also remind you of the overwhelming peace, love, and hope that is available to you and your loved ones through prayer & meditation.

As you fill your daily life with reminders of your faith, you will also find yourself growing in your faith, and feeling more centered and grounded.

Are you feeling a little low (or is one of your loved ones caught in one of the storms of life)? FaithMinders can provide you with an exquisite piece that not only celebrates your life and legacy, but, also reminds you of God’s constant presence in your daily life - even in the midst of the storm!

Our inspirational jewelry & prayer tools are 100% handcrafted by our skilled artisians in our studio in Pleasantville, Iowa. Each is designed to help you remain mindeful of your faith, and celebrate the beauty of your mind, body, and spirit every day.

FaithMinders carries a wide selection of inspirational jewelry and prayer tools - giving you a nice variety to choose from for yourself or for your loved ones. If you don’t find the perfect prayer tool or inspirational jewelry that you are looking for, please contact us in our Pleasantville, Iowa studio, and we will be happy to custom create and/or personalize something specifically for you or your loved one.

Privacy Notice

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what
information we gather and how we use it.

FaithMinders gathers two types of information
about users:

  • Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These
    are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
    in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation
    in polls and surveys:
  • Information FaithMinders gathers through aggregated tracking information derived
    mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us
    to better tailor our content to readers’ needs and to help us better understand
    the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does FaithMinders divulge
    any information about an individual user to a third party.

Children

Consistent with the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request
personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.

Sharing of Information

FaithMinders uses the information described to tailor our content to suit your needs and help us better understand our audience’s demographics. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

Use of Information

FaithMinders uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to
enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on
a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. FaithMinders never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don’t track which terms a particular user enters.

FaithMinders creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for internal usage. Because we don’t track the usage patterns of individual users,we will never know that a specific user clicked a specific link in our site. We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

FaithMinders Gathers User Information
In The Following
Processes:

Optional Voluntary Information

We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information
by users:

  1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches) We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. FaithMinders gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
  2. “E-mail this to a friend” Service:Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking “e-mail
    this to a friend”. The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information
    is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
  3. Polling We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. FaithMinders may use a system to “tag” users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
  4. Surveys FaithMinders may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Usage Tracking

FaithMinders tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information
with data about indiv idual users. FaithMinders does break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained
in every user’s browser).

FaithMinders sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and
don’t like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

Cookie

We may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read
data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. FaithMinders uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use
this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

Security

FaithMinders operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems.
Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

Opt-out Policy

We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

  • Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
  • Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally
    identifiable information from our users

Your ConsentBy using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by FaithMinders. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
