Privacy Policy
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service. We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Collection of Information
While visiting the ACOJC Website, we will only gather user information that allows us to improve your user experience and afford content that matters most to you. The use of web tracking “cookies” is a normative practice on most websites to afford greater customization of the content around each visitor. Also, we will at times ask that you provide us with personal information while online in order to complete a transaction and/or donation. The type of information we collect typically, but not always, corresponds directly with the service you request. For instance, you can make donations, when requested you can offer your thoughts, opinions, prayers, concerns, ideas, personal experiences, questions and/or suggestions to our resources, contests, or broadcasts. The personal information you provide may also be used to improve the usability of, and information available on, our sites. In other words, at times we will ask you for more information, beyond just your name and contact information, than is needed to facilitate our response to your specific request. Your provision of such additional information is your acknowledgement that you consent to our use of such information to better serve you, our visitor, and others coming to our sites.
ACOJC will not sell, lease or rent its mailing list or any of your confidential information to any outside organization or individual. However, we may need to disclose personal information as required by law, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, search warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request, to enforce our Terms of Service, or site rules; or to protect the safety and security of our visitors and our sites.
Changes
ACOJC reserves the right to make changes to this privacy policy at any time and requests that you review this policy for updates.

All remarks, suggestions, ideas, graphics, comments, or other information that you send to ACOJC through our sites (other than information we promise to protect under our Privacy Policy), becomes and remains our property, even if this agreement is later terminated.
That means that we don’t have to treat any such submission as confidential. You can’t sue us for using ideas you submit. If we use them, or anything like them, we don’t have to pay you or anyone else for them. We will have the exclusive ownership of all present and future rights to submissions of any kind. We can use them for any purpose we deem appropriate to our ACOJC mission, without compensating you or anyone else for them.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for any submission you make. This means that you (and not we) have full responsibility for the message, including its legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality, and copyright.

Limitation of Liability
ACOJC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY THAT ACCOMPANY OR RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF ANY OF ITS SITES.
