| At
Vineyard Community Church we strive to help our customers protect their privacy
while using our services. To protect your privacy, Vineyard Community Church has
instituted a number of policies that give you information and control. Vineyard
Community Church : - Provides a link to this privacy statement
on all pages that ask for personal information
- Will not
store or release personal identifying information about you without first obtaining
consent
- Will not knowingly collect or use personal identifying
information from children younger than 13 without parental consent.
This
privacy statement discloses our practices for the gathering and use of information
from visitors to our own Vineyard Community Church web site, (www.Vineyard Community
Churchandclick.com), from people who register for services that we offer online. Registration
information may be used in several ways: - To enable us
to process, validate and verify service requests
- To provide
advertisers with aggregate--never individual--information about our registrants
and aggregate usage patterns
- To give our own Web site designers
information that's useful for developing new features and services that meet registrants'
needs
- To allow us to potentially vary the advertising that
registrants see based on their volunteered preferences
- To
tailor the registrant's experience on our site, showing them content we think
might interest them or altering the content according to their preferences.
If
you "opt out" we will not send you unsolicited advertising or direct mail, but
if you choose to do so, you may provide us with information about your interests
and allow us to contact you regarding products or services that may interest you.
The "opt out" choices are made available during each individual registration process.
We do use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive, but such e-mail
addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with third parties.
Vineyard Community Church may share aggregate statistical
information gathered from the registration process with advertisers, business
partners, sponsor or other third parties, but none of them receive individual
identifying information about you collected at our site. For example, we may tell
an advertiser that X number of visitors visited a certain area on a Web site or
that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out registration forms, but
we would not disclose anything that would identify those individuals. We share
this information only on an aggregate, anonymous basis and never on an individual
basis. We do not merge or enhance information you give us with
information obtained from third parties. In case you change
your mind about information you have given us or if some of it has changed, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove personal information
you have given us. You can do this by following the opt-out procedures described
below or by contacting us at click@Vineyard Community Church.com. Cookies
The Vineyard Community Church service uses cookies. We use cookies to deliver
content specific to your interests, and to recognize you when you visit our service.
Your browser offers so-called "cookies", which--if you allow their use--store
small amounts of data on your computer about your visit. Cookies assist us in
tracking which of our features you like best. And when you re-visit, cookies can
enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. However, cookies
tell us nothing about you personally unless you specifically give us additional
information. We do not use cookies to identify, monitor or
track any personally identifiable information. Our cookies in and of themselves
do not contain any personally identifiable information about you. We do not merge
or associate our cookie information with any personally identifiable information
obtained by us or from third parties. You also have choices
with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice
to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies.
However, if you reject some or all cookies, your experience at our site and on
other sites throughout the World Wide Web may not be complete. Some sites require
cookies to function, such as those with e-commerce features. In addition, if you
do not allow cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of personalized content
delivery offered by us. IP Addresses An Internet
Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer whenever you surf
the Web. An Internet Service Provider randomly assigns the IP address at the time
of dial-up. For other local area network (LAN) or cable modem users, the IP address
may be permanently assigned to a particular computer or other device connected
to the network. Anytime you connect to a site on the Internet, the computers communicating
with each other exchange IP addresses. IP addresses can tell things like what
part of the world you're connecting from, or which Internet Service Provider you
are using. We collect IP addresses for system administration
and to report aggregate information. We may use your IP address to: - Help
diagnose problems with our servers
- Administer our/your Web
sites
- Help identify your Internet service provider
- Gather
broad, anonymous information.
We do not link IP addresses
to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's computer session
is logged, but the computer user remains anonymous. Some services we may offer,
such as chat rooms or forums may from time to time display the participant's IP
address along with the message poster's user name (which may be real or fictional
by choice). Other Information Through our technology,
we also collect and accumulate other anonymous data that helps us understand and
analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For example, we accumulate visitor
data relating to the type of browsers used, types of modems, modem speeds, operating
system software (e.g. Windows 95 vs. 98), screen resolutions, color capabilities
and JavaScript enabling. None of this information is personally identifiable and
we only share this information in the aggregate, reflecting overall Web site or
Internet usage trends. Other Sites: This privacy policy applies
only to Vineyard Community Church . Users of our site should be aware that through
links they could be directed to other sites that we do not control. For example,
if you click on a banner advertisement or on a search result or ranked site, the
click takes you off the Vineyard Community Church site and sends you to a site
controlled and operated by a third party. These sites may send you cookies, collect
your personal information or provide offensive content. Vineyard Community Church
has no control over the privacy policies or practices of these other sites, and
Vineyard Community Church is not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of Web sites to which we link, list, rank or identify by means of a search.
Vineyard Community Church takes no responsibility for the products, services,
policies or actions of third parties or the content of third party Web sites.
In addition, Vineyard Community Church will not censor or edit the content of
sites on the World Wide Web. We encourage you to be aware when you are leaving
our sites and to read the privacy policies of each Web site you visit. Security
Our site has physical, electronic and managerial security measures in place
to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
We use secure servers with encryption for certain transactions and confidential
data. We maintain a firewall to protect data within our local area network and
our servers are maintained in secured access, locked facilities. In
addition, for some of our services, you will be provided with passwords. We recommend
you do not divulge your password to anyone. Vineyard Community Church will never
ask you for your password in an unsolicited telephone call or e-mail. You are
responsible for the secrecy of your passwords. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit, and
you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems. You can report network abuse and
any risk of security violations to us by e-mailing click@Vineyard Community Church.com.
Legal Disclosures of Information EXCEPT UNDER THE
FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES, Vineyard Community Church WILL NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONALLY
IDENTIFABLE INFORMATION WITH A THIRD PARTY WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR CONSENT. There are
a limited number of situations where we may disclose your personal information
to others without first receiving your consent: (1) when legally ordered to do
so by a lawful subpoena or court order, (2) if you violate or breach an agreement
with us, (3) if we believe conduct by you will harm the property or rights of
Vineyard Community Church or those of Vineyard Community Church 's users, or (4)
under exigent circumstances to protect the physical safety of Vineyard Community
Church , its employees, users or the general public. Your
Acceptance By using our site, you signify your agreement to the privacy
polices described above. If you do not agree with our privacy policies, please
do not use our site. Your continued use of our sites following posting of changes
to these privacy policies means you accept those changes. |
