The purposes for which personal information is collected by us will be identified to you before or at the time the information is collected.

Principle 3 - Consent

Except where required or permitted by law your informed consent is required for our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information.

Principle 4 - Limiting Collection

The personal information collected by us shall be limited to those details necessary for the purposes identified to you. To that end, please note the following description of the type of information collected and the reason we collect such information. JWMap does not require any financial or payment information. Additionally JWMap does not intentionally collect information from any individual under the age of 13 years.

Additionally, none of the material or advertising on JWMap is intended to attract audiences under the age of 13, and as such JWMap does not intentionally collect information from any individual under the age of 13 years.

Personal Information

If you would like to create a new member account, we will collect your name, email address, desired password, and whether you are a brother or a sister in the christian congregation. In addition, at your option, if you would like to increase your profile on the Site or with JWMap generally, or if you would like to be considered by potential employers for employment (please see Principle 5 for a discussion on this point), you may also provide whatever personal information you choose including, without limitation, and/or a brief personal description.

In some limited circumstances (such as when you wish to make a donation to the JWMap system), credit card information may be entered. Please note that in these circumstances, screens in the JWMap domain will be created and operated through what is called an "iframe" which a window or a portal to the credit card processor used by the JWMap system. In these cases, your credit card information IS NOT stored on our servers, and as such this information is only utilized by our credit card processor for the purpose processing whatever donation you choose to make to our website. As far as our programming is concerned, your credit card information is destroyed and if any further credit card transaction is desired, your credit card information will have to be entered anew.

Of course, any time you choose to post an editorial, or other message on the Site, that information is stored by JWMap and is potentially viewed, together with the biographical information you have provided, by all users of the Site.

Please know that only your name, email address, desired password, and whether you are a brother or a sister in the christian congregation is necessary to create a new member account, the provision of all other information is optional depending on what you are looking to do on the Site and with JWMap. Once your account is created, you still won't be able to use the site until the service overseer in your respective congregation has approved you to use the JWMap site for your congregation.

Cookies

We use cookies, a piece of text stored on a user’s computer by their web browser, to store your viewing preferences on the Site and, at your choosing, to store your login information so that once you have logged in you do not need to repeat the login process. We also use a session cookie, meaning it expires soon after you leave the registration process and is not placed on your hard drive, to store your session information during your visit to the Site. Read our Cookie Policy for more information.

Anonymous Information

In addition to personal information, certain anonymous information about your visit is potentially captured automatically when you visit the Site. This information can include the name of the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP) address through which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site; the pages that you access while at the Site and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. None of this information is personally identifiable. This anonymous information is used to help improve the Site, analyze trends, and administer the Site.

Principle 5 - Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

We will only use or disclose your personal information in accordance with the purposes for which it was originally collected unless you have otherwise consented, or when it is required or permitted by law.

Use of your Personal Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

• To register you for Site membership.
• To customize your experience on the Site.
• To send electronic e-mail newsletters, if requested by you.
• To fill in certain information for you such as your name and signature when posting to messages.

Safeguarding Personal Information

JWMap strictly protects the security of your personal information, including any financial information, and honors your choices for its intended use. Data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. While no security infrastructure is foolproof, we carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction.

When Information May be Disclosed to Outside Parties:

Except as specifically provided for in this privacy policy, we do not disclose any personal information to third parties. Having said this, JWMap may disclose personal information in the following instances:

• To conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served to JWMap, or the Site;
• protect and defend the rights or property of JWMap and our family of Web sites, including without limitation investigating potentially fraudulent or questionable activities regarding your account(s) or the use of the Site;
• To act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of JWMap, our Web sites, or the public;
• To offer you related products and services that might benefit you (see below);
• As part of a single-sign on solution from third-party providers;
• In anticipation of and in the course of an actual or potential sale, reorganization, consolidation, merger or amalgamation of our business; and
• Otherwise as permitted or required by law.

The type of information we are legally required to disclose may relate to criminal investigations. In some instances such as a legal proceeding or court order, we may also be required to disclose certain information to authorities. Only the information specifically requested is disclosed and we take precautions to satisfy ourselves that the authorities that are making the request have legitimate and legal grounds to do so.

In addition, JWMap occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering communications, answering user questions about products and services, sending postal mail, and sending information about our products, and other new services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Other than making you aware of existing or new capabilities on the JWMap site, we do not advertise any third-party products or services for commercial gain.

Finally, for your convenience, we offer single sign-on solutions for account login. These these third parties (including but not limited to GitHub Google, among others) may receive information from these services when you elect to use them.

Email Addresses

Because email is the dominant form of communication between JWMap and you, we wanted to address certain aspects of handling email addresses separately. Email addresses collected as part of the sign-up process are not made publicly available, except in accordance with the terms of this privacy policy. Most of the time, email addresses are simply used to confirm your identity and to communicate with you via email.

In order to comply with anti-spam legislation such as CANSPAM (in the United States) there may be cases where a third-party email data house is used to advise us as to which addresses on our list have specifically opted out of emails from a given advertiser. In order for this to occur we send our list to the data house, the advertiser sends their list to the data house, and the data house then advises us of the results. At no time do we see the third party company's list nor do they see our list. The data house operates under strict privacy guidelines and obligations of confidentiality.

Principle 6 - Accuracy

We shall make every reasonable effort to ensure your personal information is maintained in an accurate, complete and up-to-date form.

Principle 7 - Safeguarding Personal Information

JWMap strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. Data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. While no security infrastructure is foolproof, we carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Electronic customer files are kept in a highly secured environment with restricted access.

We manage our server environment appropriately and our firewall infrastructure is strictly adhered to. Our security practices are reviewed on a regular basis and we routinely employ current technologies to ensure that the confidentiality and privacy of your information is not compromised.

Our web site uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) and 256 bit encryption technologies to enhance security when you visit the secured areas of these sites. TLS is the industry standard tool for protecting and maintaining the security of message transmissions over the Internet. When you access your accounts or send information from secured sites, encryption will scramble your data into an unreadable format to inhibit unauthorized access by others.

Our Employees and your Personal Information:

In the course of daily operations, access to personal information is restricted to authorized employees who have a legitimate business purpose and reason for accessing it. For example, when you call us, our designated employees will access your information to verify who you are and to assist you in fulfilling your requests.

As a condition of their employment, all employees of JWMap are required to abide by the privacy standards we have established. Employees are informed about the importance of privacy and they understand that they are prohibited from disclosing any customer information to unauthorized individuals or parties.

Principle 8 - Openness

If you would like a copy of our privacy policies we would be more than happy to provide one to you and if you have any questions regarding same, we are more than happy to discuss the merits with you.

Principle 9 - Accessing and Amending Your Information:

You have the right to access, verify and amend the information held in your personal files. You can review and edit your member profile information at the JWMap site by logging on to JWMap site with your logon email and password, and then clicking on the "Manage Your Account" link under the "Account/Logout". You also have the option on your account page to delete your account entirely. This will remove all personally identifiable information.

To help us keep your personal information up-to-date, we encourage you to amend inaccuracies and make corrections as often as necessary. Despite our efforts, errors sometimes do occur. Should you identify any incorrect or out-of-date information in your file(s), we will make the proper changes.
