Privacy Policy
North Way Christian Community (“North Way”) is committed to protecting and respecting your online privacy and security. We have developed this Privacy Policy (“Policy) to make our web visitors aware of our privacy and security practices, and to inform you of the way your information is collected and used.
Your Information and How We Use It
Personal Information
When you use the North Way website, you may be asked to provide personal information so we can support you in event/volunteer participation, requests, and providing more information about our organization. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you voluntarily provide. As the user, you have the right to opt out of electronically delivered communication and to decline submitting any personal information. If you choose to opt out, know that we may not have the ability to provide all available services to you. Web visitors have the option to engage in activities without providing information.
When using the website, North Way provides the opportunity to give and register for events through the use of third-party services. We also use third-party services to process credit and debit cards. Full card numbers or bank account information you provide during the use of the website is passed directly to the third-party payment processor and will not be stored on our North Way’s servers.
North Way will not collect your personal information without your consent; nor will we sell, rent, or lease your personal information to other organizations. Use of personal information will be limited to the internal purposes of North Way and only to further the ministry activities and purposes of North Way.
Non-Personal Information
When you visit our website, we may collect certain non-personal information automatically, such as your browser type, operating system, IP address, and browsing behavior. The non-personal data we collect is used solely for internal purposes, such as website analytics, performance optimization, and security monitoring. This information helps us understand how web visitors interact with our website and identify areas for improvement.
We utilize Google reCAPTCHA to help protect our website from spam and abuse. Non-personal data collected through Google reCAPTCHA is used for spam detection and prevention purposes. This helps us maintain the security and integrity of our website and protect against unauthorized access or misuse. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. For more information about how Google collects and processes data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.
Cookies
North Way may place an electronic “cookie” in the browser files of a visitor’s computer. The cookie will allow the website to “recognize” you as a unique individual. A cookie can’t read data from your hard drive or read cookie files created by other sites; cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to recognize you when you return to our site.
Children’s Privacy
As outlined in the website Terms and Conditions, the website is not available to minors and is intended for use only by adults. It is our current policy not to knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without verifiable parental consent. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information without their consent, he or she should contact us by sending us an email at privacy@northway.org.
Security
North Way is committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the proper use of information, we have implemented appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions of financial and certain other information. Financial information is stored in encrypted form on computers that are not publicly accessible via the Internet. Your registration or account information is password protected for your privacy and security. Any disclosure of your password by you to a third party may result in access to your registration or account information or execution of transactions. Please be aware that we cannot prevent the unauthorized use of stored information by third parties who illegally access our server or intercept private communications.
Internet Connection
The privacy of communications over the Internet cannot be guaranteed, because the Internet is not a secure medium. North Way does not assume, and disclaims, any responsibility for any harm, loss, or damage you may experience or incur by the sending of personal or confidential information over the Internet by or to North Way.
