Privacy Policy and Terms of Forum Use

Respecting Your Rights
The privacy policy below explains in detail how we collect and use information about our users. We take your privacy very seriously. We won't rent, sell, or loan any information about you.
VCF takes your trust - and your right to privacy - very seriously. The following privacy policy outlines for your review the type of information we gather - and how we use it - from members, registered users and visitors of www.vcfbarn.com and related areas (email, newsletters, so on). We gather two types of information: Registration data, which you provide directly in order to receive optional access to certain services or site areas and which ay or may not require both demographic information (name, email address, zip code, age, and so on)

Usage information, which is automatically provided by each user's browser for each page requested on our site (commonly referred to as web site log data).


Registration Data
We will not disclose any individual user's name, address, e-mail address or telephone number
without such user's prior consent, except to the extent necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or in legal proceedings where such information is relevant.

If you provide contact information, the staff of VCF may occassionally use it to communicate relevant information about the church's announcements and we do not knowingly accept or use personal profile information from children 12 years old or younger.

Usage (Log) Data
We gather and analyze users' current Internet Protocol (IP) addresses -- an address typically
assigned to individual browsers by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) -- to help with a variety of site management issues, none of which allow us to connect your IP address with your personal identity. For example, we use log data to:

• diagnose problems with our server,
  
  
• evaluate the sources of our user traffic (ie. where site visitors clicked from to reach us),
  
  
• determine traffic patterns through our site (to build better internal links and improve your ability to find what you want),
  
  
• understand and optimize our site for the broadest selection of browser types (again, to improve your experience).

Cookies
Our site uses cookies to improve our general recognition of repeat visitors and to simplify
your experience while you're visiting us. Cookies are electronic "tags" we place on your browser to help our servers recognize you; while you're on our site, cookies help insure things like:

you only have to log-in once - when it's even necessary - when you visit certain "members-only" areas, and so on.

Finally, cookies provide us with no information about who you are or where you go on the Internet when you are not at our site.

Use of this web site constitutes agreement with these terms and conditions.
