Privacy Policy

The purpose of this statement is to define The Community Center of La Canada Flintridge’s (CCLCF’s) policy with regards to the collection and use of personally identifiable information (PII – any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual who is the subject of the information).

CCLCF collects two kinds of user information:

1) Anonymous Information

Information that does not identify specific individuals and is automatically transmitted by your browser. This information can consist of:

• The URL (Uniform Resource Locator or address) of the web page you previously visited
• The domain names and/or IP addresses which are numbers that are automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are connected to the Internet
• The browser version you are using to access the site

This information is used to help improve our website. None of the information can be linked to any individual.

2) Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Information that could include:

• Name
• Address
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Credit/debit card information

We make every reasonable effort to protect your privacy. It restricts access to your personal identifiable information to those employees that will respond to your request. We do not intentionally disclose any personal information about our users to any third parties inside or outside the CCLCF except as required by law.

We only collect personally identifiable information that is required to provide service. You can decline to provide us with any personal information on any site on the Internet at any time. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with the online services dependent upon the collection of that information.

Access to personally identifiable information in public records at state and local levels of government is controlled primarily by the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250, et seq.). Information that is generally available under the Public Records Act may be posted for electronic access through our website. While the Public Records Act sets the general policies for access to our records, other sections of California code as well as federal laws also deal with confidentiality issues.

E-mail addresses obtained through the website will not be sold or given to other private companies for marketing purposes. The information collected is subject to the access and confidentiality provisions of the Public Records Act, other applicable sections of the California code as well as federal laws. E-mail or other information requests sent to our website may be maintained in order to respond to the request, communicate updates to our page that may be of interest to citizens, or to provide our web designer with valuable customer feedback to assist in improving the site. Individuals can cancel any communications regarding new service updates at any time.

Some of our applications use “cookies.” A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user id that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie is only a text file and cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies can track user traffic patterns, recognize your computer’s browser when you return, and could provide personalized content without requiring sign-in.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. However, they may be required to use some of the web applications on our site.

Any information collected by our site from children under 13 is subject to the same guidelines as this general privacy policy. In addition, the following guidelines will be followed for any information collected from or for any child under 13:

• Information that could be collected from or for a minor includes but might not be limited to name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, school, and hobbies.
• Parental (including legal guardian) Consent

If any information practices change in a “material” way, new consent will be obtained from the parents. This includes changes in the kinds of information being collected, a change in how that information is being used, or if there is a change in the third parties that have access to that information. Parental consent will be obtained before collecting, using or disclosing personal information about a child.

• Parents will be able to review the personal information collected from their children which includes verification of the identity of the requesting parent. See individual requests for information for specifics.
• Parents will be allowed to revoke their consent and delete information collected from or for their children upon request. When consent is revoked, the website will stop collecting, using or disclosing information from or for that child. Revocation may end a child’s participation in an activity if the information collected was necessary for participation.
• Additional information can be obtained at the FTC’s Consumer Response Center (http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/index.html) and the Children’s Privacy websites.

CCLCF is committed to data security and the data quality of personally identifiable information that is either available from or collected by our website and has taken reasonable precautions to protect such information from loss, misuse, or alteration. You agree that CCLCF is not responsible for any harm, loss, or damage you may incur by the sending of personal or confidential information over the Internet by or to CCLCF.

When an application accepts credit cards or any other particularly sensitive information for any of its services, it encrypts all ordering information, such as your name and credit card number, in order to protect its confidentiality.

Unless otherwise prohibited by state or federal law, rule, or regulation you will be granted the ability to access and correct any personally identifiable information. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to review or make corrections to your information. Each page that collects personally identifiable information will allow for review and update of that information. See individual requests for information for specifics.

Non-CCLCF websites may be linked through our website. These sites may or may not be subject to the Public Records Act and may or may not be subject to other sections of California Code or federal law. Visitors to such sites are advised to check the privacy statements of such sites and to be cautious about providing personally identifiable information without a clear understanding of how the information will be used. Visitors may also wish to consult privacy guidelines such as those recommended by the Online Privacy Alliance.

We reserve the right to modify the Privacy Policy from time to time, with or without cause or prior notice. We will post all changes to the Privacy Policy on the Site. Changes to the Privacy Policy are effective immediately upon posting. Users are responsible for reviewing the Privacy Policy regularly. Use of the Site indicates User’s full and complete agreement to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Use of information (including Personal Information) we gather or that is in our possession is subject to the Privacy Policy as in effect at the time of use.

If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy, please send us an email at office@cclcf.org.
