This notice describes our privacy policy. We will collect and use information through our Web site only in the ways disclosed in this statement.

When you visit Jarvis's Web site, the server automatically collects a limited amount of information from your computer essential for the sites operation and security. We collect this information through the use of automatically generated server logs. Jarvis Christian College uses a content management system that automatically collects this information and provides us with basic Web site analytics. Information collected includes your computers IP address, the name of your Internet Service Provider, information concerning your browser and operating system, as well as the page visited prior to accessing Jarvis's Web site. This information is used to perform statistical analysis of user trends and interests and to help us make this site more useful to visitors. We collect the following general data that is not personally identifiable information: trail a user follows throughout the Web site, number of new visitors, number of repeat visitors, IP addresses, ISP names, browser and operating system information, etc. We collect demographic data in order to assist with our Web site design structure by viewing in an anonymous light the path that users tend to take through our Web site to find the information they need. JCC does not continue tracking users after they leave our Web site, nor does JCC attempt to associate specific personal information with visitors, though the possibility for doing so exists. JCC is only interested in larger demographic trends in order to guide future Web site design and handle resource management. JCC is not interested in building an information model about you as a consumer.

In browsing the major portions of our site, users do not need to provide any personally identifiable information about themselves. However, in order to proceed through certain segments of our Web site, JCC collects personally identifiable information, such as when registering for an event, applying to JCC, etc. In these cases information collected could include name, age, address, spouses name and age, phone number, email address, and in cases where fees are involved, credit card number and expiration date, etc. While JCC may in some cases ask for number of children, names of children, etc, JCC does not market to minors, and we never knowingly ask a child under 13 to divulge personal information. Where financial information is requested, such as completing an online donation or paying registration fees, credit card numbers and expiration dates are required for normal, routine processing of payment.

Jarvis Christian College does make limited use of cookies on its Web servers in some portions of our site, but not in any manner that could impinge on your privacy. A cookie is a small text file that our Web server places on a users computer hard drive as a unique identifier. Cookies enable JCC to deliver customized content to users. Our cookies do have an expiration date; typically very shortly after the user leaves our site. Our cookies do collect personally identifiable information, as in the case of logging into a part of the Web site authenticated with our session IDs. Without cookies, users would have to resend their information to the server every time they requested a page within an area restricted to registered users. JCC uses cookies in this case to simplify the browsing experience. For students who are registering, cookies are used to track which lessons a student has accessed and how long they spent logged in and reading which articles which is then shown to the professor to see their involvement. JCC does not use cookies for any purposes other than what is listed in this document. The information we collect is not used to create customer profiles based on browsing history. We do not supplement information collected at our Web site with data from other sources. Jarvis Christian College is not involved in aggressive marketing practices.

Jarvis Christian College does not use click-traking of third-party advertising on our sites. Third parties are not privy to information collected on the JCC Web site. Further, we do not share data with third parties unless required by law to do so. Please note that this excludes situations where the user wishes JCC to share data with third parties, as in the case of information transfers between universities.

Occasionally on the JCC Web site we offer links to other Web sites. When you click on links to other Web sites, we encourage you to read their privacy policies. Their standards may differ from ours, and we can take no responsibility for information collected on other sites linked to from our site.

Users that register for events or emails will receive additional announcements from us if they so desire. Opting out of these mailings may take place at any time and links to opt out are provided within the mailings themselves. Users who opt out of the system will not be contacted again unless they sign up again for our mailings. JCC uses a double-confirmation process for new member mailings, requiring confirmation that subscribers wish to be contacted before mailings begin. JCC will not mail you unless you have responded indicating your desire to participate.

Please be advised that our privacy policy may change over time. Users are encouraged to check it regularly.
