Christian Benevolent Association (“CBA”) is committed to protecting your privacy in every way possible. The Privacy Policy information below explains our information gathering and dissemination practices. If you have questions or concerns regarding these policies, please contact CBA at [email protected].
1. What information is collected? CBA does not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless the individual provides it to us voluntarily and knowingly. In other words, CBA does not require that you register or provide information to generally view the Website. However, we collect a limited amount of personal information from you in certain areas of the CBA website (the “Website”) for various reasons, such as when you enter in information to use certain areas of the Website or when you contact our customer support services. The following is a description of what information is collected:
Use of Personal Information. You may be asked to provide personal information to use certain services on this Website, which will be apparent from the forms we ask you to complete. When you request more information or apply to a job posting, we ask you for a few items of personal information relevant to the situation. Examples are: names, addresses, ZIP codes, and email addresses. All the information that is collected is merely used to deliver a more personal and pertinent experience and to assist us with your transactions.
In accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), we take extra precautions when handling any Protected Health Information (PHI). Although our website is not primarily designed for the transmission of medical information, any identifiable health information collected or disclosed through digital forms, email, or other channels is treated as confidential and protected under applicable HIPAA rules. We restrict access to PHI to only those employees or contractors who need the information to perform a specific job function, and we implement technical and administrative safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure. If you believe your health information has been improperly handled, you may file a complaint directly with us or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For questions or to exercise your rights, please email us at [email protected].
IP Addresses. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. As part of the protocol of the Internet, web servers can identify your computer by its IP address. In addition, web servers may be able to identify the type of browser and/or type of computer you are using. CBA collects IP addresses and related information for the purposes of system administration, to assess the traffic to the Website and to maintain and improve the Website. We do not link IP addresses to your personally identifiable information. We can and will use IP addresses, however, to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Website Terms and Conditions or to protect our service, the Website, customers or others.
Use of Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that some websites (including the Website) transfer to an individual’s hard drive for research purposes. CBA uses cookies to analyze the traffic, such as total visitors and pages viewed on the Website and make improvements based on the data we collect. CBA never saves passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies has become standard in the industry, especially for websites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you refuse cookies, you may not be able to use some of the functionality of the Website. The Website’s advertisers and other partners may also use cookies in connection with the services and websites to which the Website links. We do not control these third-party cookies.
2. Who is Collecting this Information?
CBA collects the information described above via the Website. In the case of third-party features such as advertising, co-branded areas or links to other websites, such third parties may also collect information. You should review the applicable privacy policies of these third parties before providing personally identifiable information. CBA is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION. CBA does not exchange, lease or sell your name, address, zip code or email address information. CBA does not provide, sell or make available its customer list, or any part or subset of its customer data, to any third parties. The data that we have from you is for CBA’s use only. CBA will not “spam” you and may contact you on issues regarding the use of our services.
Government Authorities and Litigation. Sometimes a law, court order, or other judicial or administrative process requires us to provide information to a government authority or party to a private lawsuit. CBA will provide the information that it in good faith believes is required to comply with the law, order, or other process. CBA may also have to disclose certain information in court documents if it must bring an action against you, for example, to collect a debt you owe it.
3. With Whom the Information May be Shared. Except as described above, CBA will not knowingly disclose or authorize the disclosure of personal identifiable information (other than aggregate statistical information) to any third party without your consent unless (1) we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may have breached our Website Terms and Conditions or who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) CBA’s rights or property, other Website users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities or (2) we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
4. Children Under the Age of 13 Years. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), CBA will not knowingly collect or accept personally identifiable information from a child under the age of thirteen (13) years old without a parent’s or guardian’s prior consent.
5. Links to Other Websites. While you are using the Website, you may be linked or directed to other third-party websites outside the Website that are beyond CBA’s control. Each of these third parties may have a privacy policy different from that of CBA. CBA is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. You should review the applicable privacy policies of these third-party websites before providing personally identifiable information.
6. Security Procedures Used. We are very concerned with the security of your personally identifiable information and take great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us. Once we receive your information, we take appropriate steps that we believe are reasonable and within the industry standard to protect the security of your data on our system, both internally and from outsiders, and to ensure the integrity of the data we collect. We use a combination of technological and policy methods to protect this data. We only retain this personal information for the time needed to provide a personal service under the industry standard and securely delete or anonymize once the personal information is no longer needed.
7. Users Rights. As a user of our website, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you and to understand how it is being used. If you believe any of the information we have is incorrect or incomplete, you can request corrections or updates. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, subject to applicable legal exceptions. Under certain circumstances, such as when disputing the accuracy of your data, you can request that we restrict its processing.
8. Non-Discrimination. CBA is committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and equitable environment for all individuals. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all forms and strive to create a culture where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to thrive. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital or familial status, age, physical or mental ability, veteran status, socioeconomic background, or any other characteristic protected by law. We promote these principles through inclusive hiring practices, equitable workplace policies, culturally responsive programming, and community engagement that reflects the rich diversity of our society. Our leadership actively supports ongoing training on unconscious bias, anti-racism, and cultural competency. We are also dedicated to regularly reviewing our practices to eliminate systemic barriers to inclusion and accessibility. Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) efforts are rooted in our core values of compassion, integrity, dignity, and community. We welcome feedback and encourage dialogue to ensure that our services and culture remain inclusive, just, and responsive to all those we serve.
9. Opt-Out Policy. You have the option to opt out of certain communications and data practices. If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can opt out by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails or by contacting us directly. For further assistance with opting out or managing your data preferences, feel free to reach out to us.
10. Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Compliance. We are committed to ensuring accessibility for all individuals, including those with disabilities. Our website is designed and maintained in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, providing equal access and usability for everyone. We continually strive to improve accessibility by reviewing and updating our website to current best practices and guidelines.
