When you are visiting this website or communicating with us electronically, we may collect all types of information concerning your viewing patterns, your browser, operating system and IP address, and any personally identifiable information that you provide to us, regardless of whether it is required or not. Personally, identifiable information is any information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally. This includes, but is not limited to: name, address, email address, telephone number, and zip code. In order to provide you with a customized website and to track your viewing patterns, we may place a “cookie” on your computer that allows us to recognize you when you visit our site. For more information about cookies, see below. This policy is a summary of what information FCBCLA collects and how that information is used.
What type of information does FCBCLA collect?
FCBCLA collects two different types of information. One type is voluntary information, which you provide, such as registration information for events, membership information, and billing information. The other type of information FCBCLA collects is user information provided by your computer each time you visit this site or by your mobile device when you connect to our wireless network and/or send us text message requests.

We will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to commercial entities. Any information that FCBCLA may disclose to third parties (other than service providers) will only be released in the aggregate and will not contain any personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is useful for church statistics. FCBCLA will not otherwise disclose your name, address, email address or phone number without your express consent, unless disclosure is necessary to comply with laws or relevant legal proceedings.
FCBCLA may offer links such as social networking web sites, or informational resources. Please be aware that any information you divulge in these arenas is deemed public information and is not protected.
How is your information protected?
The security of the information that you provide to us is very important to us. Consequently, we have taken several measures designed to protect your information.

In the event that our security system is breached, we will attempt to notify you as soon as possible.

Safety of children using the Internet
FCBCLA is concerned about the privacy and safety of children accessing the Internet. While the Internet is useful in many ways, it is filled with websites unsafe for children. FCBCLA can help protect children by blocking particular websites accessed through the FCBCLA network, however there are limits to doing this. The best form of protection is from proactive parental supervision. Parents must talk with their children, set rules, use parental controls, monitor computer usage, and take other similar actions to guide and guard their children from the risks and dangers found on the Internet.
FCBCLA reserves the right to change or amend this policy.
This policy is effective as of October 4, 2018. FCBCLA reserves the right to change, amend, or restate this policy. Therefore, you should revisit this page from time to time to determine the current policy. FCBCLA will post any substantial changes in this privacy policy at least 30 days prior to implementation of the change. Any information collected under this current policy will remain bound by the terms of this privacy policy. After the changes take effect, all new information collected, if any, will be subject to the revised privacy policy.
