Last Updated July 1, 2023
Welcome and Introduction
Welcome to P.R.A.Y.’s website, www.praypub.org. Here is information concerning the Terms of Use that apply to your use of the P.R.A.Y. website and the data collection and privacy practices of the site. Please take a moment to review these policies carefully. If you choose to visit the P.R.A.Y. website, your visit or submission of information to P.R.A.Y. through this website signifies that you fully accept the terms, conditions, and practices of these policies.
Book Copyright
I understand that books are copyrighted and should not be duplicated.
If we have used copies of the P.R.A.Y. workbooks, I understand that I should pay a duplication fee when I register the youth.
Award Registration
I understand that I should only register a youth who has:
- Successfully completed the requirements for his/her grade

Refunds and Returns
Items may be returned within 30 days of receipt. Only the cost of the actual item(s) purchased will be refunded—not the shipping and handling charge.
Awards and pins must be returned in a box (shipping them in an envelope will not protect them from damage). Merchandise that is not properly packaged and damaged in shipping will not be issued credit.
Customers must contact P.R.A.Y. or complete a Return Request on the P.R.A.Y. website. Please allow a minimum of 14 days to process any return. Adjustments to credit cards should appear within two billing cycles.

Reasons Our Users Submit Information
Users may choose to submit information for various reasons, i.e. to register completion of programs, submit stories on the impact the P.R.A.Y. Program has had on a family or congregation, provide feedback on curriculum, and share resources with other users. Users also may use the website to transmit registration information that may be used by P.R.A.Y. and the congregation or Scouting affiliate of P.R.A.Y. As our website develops and changes, we may provide other ways that users may submit information to us, and this description is not intended to be limiting.
How We Use Information
We use user information in various ways depending on how and why it is submitted to us. Some information is treated as confidential information, while other information is not treated as confidential information and may be disclosed to third parties. Without limiting the foregoing, we share information with affiliates of P.R.A.Y. who may contact users to extend congratulations, invite recipients to service or scouting award ceremonies, and offer similar services. We also share information with third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf. Such functions include but are not limited to processing credit card payments, fulfilling orders, analyzing data, and email communication. All information submitted to us is subject to our right to disclose the information if we feel this is necessary to comply with the law, to protect P.R.A.Y., you, and others from harm, and to carry out the provisions of these policies, as described in more detail below. What follows are examples of how we use information collected through this site.
Service-provider information supplied by users is not treated as confidential and is generally made available to the congregation and Scouting affiliates of P.R.A.Y. and others who we feel might benefit from the information.
User feedback and comment information is not generally considered confidential information and may be distributed internally or externally by P.R.A.Y. for its ministry purposes or to address issues raised by the user. For example, user feedback or questions may be forwarded to the local congregation or Scouting affiliate that is used by the individual providing the information.
If you register or submit any information through P.R.A.Y., by means of your submission you grant to P.R.A.Y. a perpetual, no-cost license to use the information submitted. Any personal information that you may share with us is kept confidential. Neither your name nor anything about you or your child is sold to any other non-affiliated company or agency.
Several of our optional services and functions use cookies. See below for a discussion of cookies.
To learn how we keep personal information secure, please see our Security Statement below.
We do not sell, rent or lease your personal information to other organizations or individuals.
