Third Party Links
Our website and app may contain links to or from other third-party websites. Please be aware, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the information we collect through our website and services. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of other websites and services to which you link, access through our website, or otherwise visit.
Children’s Privacy
CCC is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children. We are committed to complying with the guidelines set forth by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The website is not directed to children under the age of 13. If you are the parent or guardian of a child age 13 or under who has provided us with personal information, and you would like that information removed, please contact us at privacy@centralaz.org.
WiFi and GPS
Some of our pages use GPS information to identify when you are near one of our physical locations. You will be given the opportunity to provide consent for us to use this information when you first download, or begin to use, our app. If you provide consent, we use that information to enable push notifications related to interactions with our CCC app and physical locations. You also have the ability to manually initiate a GPS location search to identify if you are at one of our physical locations. When using our app, you may provide us with your GPS location through your browser, zip code, or city, which will be processed by a third-party search engine. We do not store this information outside of your device. Once your particular session of use of the feature ends, we will cease to have access to your GPS location unless you use the feature again. After your first use of this functionality, and your consent for us to use your GPS location, we will assume we have that consent going forward unless you revoke it through the settings of your mobile device.
We also collect and use the wireless (or “WiFi”) permissions of your mobile device to determine if you are connected to one of our WiFi networks.
Data Security
We have implemented measures to help secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored either on our secure servers behind firewalls, or on cloud storage provided by a third-party hosting company. All communications between your browser and this website are encrypted with industry standard SSL Certificates from trusted Certificate Authorities that your browser already trusts. Backups of our database/CRM are also encrypted, protecting them in the event of theft or loss. Any payment transactions are also encrypted during transition.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given, or you have chosen, a password for access to certain parts of our website or app, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone, and we urge you to be careful about sharing information in public areas of the website, such as our Church Online Platform.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our website or app. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the website.
