Introduction
At the International Assembly of the True Jesus Church and our subsidiary and affiliated organizations worldwide (referred to as “TJC”, “we”, “us”, or “our” herein), we are committed to protecting your online privacy and providing services that give you the most powerful and secure online experience. Respecting your online privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”), we have established this Online Privacy Statement (“Statement”) to inform you of the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.
Please note that since the industry standards and practices of online privacy evolve constantly and technologies we employ in serving you advance regularly, we reserve the right to modify or update this Statement at any time, without notice, and any modifications are effective when they are posted here. We therefore encourage you to refer to this Statement on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current Statement. By accessing or using this web site, you indicate your understanding and consent to the terms of the Statement and the Terms of Use posted at the time of your use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this web site.
Collection of Personal Information
In general, you can visit our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. On selected pages of this web site, you can order products or make use of services (e.g., order publications, request an online newsletter, register to attend a seminar or workshop, participate in an online survey, ask to be included in an email or other mailing list, submit an entry for an event or other activities, provide feedback or ask questions of us, or submit information to us for any other reason). In order to process these requests, we will ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting form(s) on line. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, we may collect your Personal Information (including name, birth date, gender, occupation, title, telephone number, e-mail address, language, mailing and shipping addresses, other personal identifying information, shipping information, and credit card number) in order to provide the services or product you requested.
When you submit Personal Information to us, you understand and agree that we and our subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer, store, and process your profile in any of the countries in which we or our subsidiaries and affiliates maintain offices, including without limitation, the United States. The United States does not regulate data protection in the same manner as other countries, including the Member States of the European Union. Accordingly, the Personal Information that you submit to us may be transferred to, processed, or stored in countries where the data protection laws are different than those of your country of residence.
As stated, you may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to us. This Statement should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of this web site, but you may not be able to access certain features and services that involve our interaction with you. If you decide that we should not use your Personal Information to contact you, please let us know on the form you use to sign up for the product or service and we will not use that information for such purpose.
If you would like to remove your information from our database or not receive future communications, or wish to change or modify information previously provided please contact us at info@tjc.org

Security of your Personal Information
Access to certain content on our web site will require a username and/or password. Failure to provide Personal Information will prevent you from accessing these pages. By accessing and using our protected and secured pages of the site, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of the username and password you selected to access this site and consent to our Terms of Use. We strictly protect the security of your Personal Information and honor your choices for its intended use.

However, we would like to remind our web site users that the Internet is not a secure environment and technology is no substitute for common sense. For this reason, we strongly urge each user to keep login names, passwords and credit card information secret and to change passwords when they may have become compromised. Furthermore, we recommend that our users communicate over secure channels wherever possible, disable the automatic login features found in some browsers, and empty their browser caches regularly.
