Information Collection and Use

We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing your preferences and help us track trends, like which content is most popular and how often the average person visits our site. It also enables registered user login or user name info to be stored for future user convenience.

Firefox users click 'Tools' and 'Options' for additional information. Internet Explorer users click 'Tools' and 'Internet Options' for additional information.)

Log-In Information

When you access our site, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. This may include information such as your IP address, browser type and version, language, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. This information is only used for statistics and to determine trends, and not to uniquely identify individual users.

User Communications

When you send e-mails, form submissions, or other communications to CCElkgrove Online, we may keep those communications indefinitely in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests, and improve our sites. Note: Unused accounts will be removed after a designated length of time. An email notice will be sent prior to deletion.

Links

CCElkgrove Online's web system automatically creates data in links that enables us to track whether these links have been followed. We use this information to determine popular content and to track aggregate information on how users navigate our site. This information is collective and not for use in tracking individual preferences.

Sharing Information

We will NEVER share your personal information with other entities. We will NEVER sell, lease, give, or allow access to your personal information to any outside company or organization. Certain internal inquiries or requests may be directed to their proper church area for means of response or recommendation (i.e., prayer requests are directly forwarded to that ministry head).

Information Security

We take appropriate and necessary security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data on CCElkgrove Online. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

We restrict access to personal information to selected Calvary staff employees who need to know that information in the course of their duties. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Financial Data & Security

For all online purchases, donations, and event registration payments we utilize a secure payment processor which safely encrypts data using SSL certified areas of our web-site. We prefer this system as our staff are not responsible for recording and tracking credit card numbers. This is kept at the registered user level. Upon payment completion a confirmation email will be sent to the registrant. In rare cases (i.e., last-minute registrations) specific individuals may take payment information over the telephone.

Individuals regularly utilizing the CCElkGrove Online payment system may opt to register with our processor. In which case you must follow their security guidelines for correspondence between you and the processor.

We have recently added a SSL certificate to our web-site. This extra layer of protection is for your protection while entering any private data on our site. You will note that all contact pages are secure.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect any changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, e-mail notification of changes). Each version of this Privacy Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date.

If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact a representative of CCElkgrove Online any time through this web site.

In addition, Calvary Chapel Elk Grove reserves the right to mediation or legal action for any attack against or malicious activity involving the Site.
