Privacy Policy

Definitions

To make this document easier to read, we’re going to use some shorthand throughout. For example, when we say “JFYMO” or “the Platform” we’re talking about the online learning experience described and accessible at jfymonline.org The Platform is intended for use by Youth Leaders and others wishing to learn more about youth ministry or just going deeper with Jesus and use of the Platform requires creating an account. Unregistered users that are merely browsing the Platform are called “Visitors” and they will not have access to the actual learning experience. When we refer to both in this policy, we’ll use the term “you.” In using the Platform, Members are able to participate in an innovative online learning experience from their phone, tablet, or computer.”

Internal Disclosure

For example, we can personalize potential services to recommend to you using cookies or similar technologies that track what functionality you have already opted to receive.

Legal Process

It is possible that we will need to disclose information collected through the Platform when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of the Platform; or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of Reach Out. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data and the personal data of users of Member Websites when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overboard, vague, or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

Your Rights to Deleting, Accessing and Correcting Your Information

For personal data that we have about you, have the following rights:

· Deletion: You may ask us to erase or delete all or some of the personal data we have about you. Please note that doing so may limit the ability to use certain functionality of the Platform. Please note that an email address is required to have a Member account.

· Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of the personal data we have about you (for example, if you have no legal basis to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (for example, if we come to believe that personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

We may decline to process requests if we cannot verify the requestor’s identity, if we believe the request will jeopardize the privacy of others, if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect, or for a similar legitimate purpose. In any case, where we provide information access, deletion or correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

If you choose to close your account or ask that we modify or delete some or all of your personal information, we will retain your personal data if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our Terms of Use or fulfill any others requests from you (for example, to opt-out of further messages or for a copy of your data).
