Our Disclosure of your Personal data and Other Information

AHCC is not in the business of selling your personal data.

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: AHCC, like many churches, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples include mailing information, maintaining databases and processing online giving. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide it with the information that it needs to perform its specific function and require that it keeps your personal data confidential and only uses it consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Legal Requirements: AHCC may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of AHCC, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the site or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.

External Links

In order to provide users with greater value, our website may provide links to various third party websites. However, even if a third-party affiliation exists between the site and that destination site, we do not exercise authority over these linked sites, each of which maintains independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. We do not assume responsibility or liability for these independent methods or actions and are not responsible for the independent policies or procedures of destination sites. We also cannot take responsibility for the privacy initiatives or the content of such websites. These links to third party websites are provided only for your convenience, and as such, you access them at your own risk.

Linking Your Website To Our Pages

We encourage you to link to our pages. However, we ask that you abide by the following guidelines when doing so:

You may not infer or imply that the Asylum Hill Congregational Church sponsors or in any way approves of your site or any other site.

You may not frame, display, or alter any material from our websites, or our web pages directly, in any way that obscures our identification, banners or site navigation. Framing does not allow users to bookmark the framed page. Also, some sites use frames to present content belonging to another site as if it was their own. We feel this is confusing to users and jeopardizes the integrity of our content. The presentation of the material linked to must make it readily apparent that the content is the property of Asylum Hill Congregational Church or its affiliates.

You may not present Asylum Hill Congregational Church website content as that of the site owner, otherwise misrepresent the content of the Asylum Hill Congregational Church web pages or misinform users about the origin or ownership of the content of the AHCC website.

You may not duplicate content (including recorded broadcast, video, graphics and/or photos) from this website without express written permission of the Asylum Hill Congregational Church.

If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided personal data without your consent to AHCC through this site, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases. If we obtain actual knowledge of a child's personal information we will take steps to delete that information. In addition, if AHCC knows that a user is under age 18, we will NOT: (i) deliberately collect online contact information from that user without prior parental consent, except where used to respond directly to the child's request; (ii)deliberately collect personally identifiable offline contact information from that user without prior parental consent; (iii) deliberately give that user the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable information without prior parental consent; (iv)distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information of that user without prior parental consent; and (v) entice that user by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.

We employ strict security measures to safeguard online transactions, including usernames and passwords.
