Data Breach

A privacy breach occurs when personal information is accessed, collected, used, disclosed, or disposed of without proper authorization. If Celebration Beach Church determines that you may be at risk of serious harm due to a data breach, we will inform you. This may include risks of significant financial loss or threats to your mental or physical health.

In the event of a security breach that results in or may lead to unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information, we will promptly investigate the situation. We are committed to notifying the relevant Supervisory Authority within 72 hours, unless the breach is deemed unlikely to pose a risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms.

Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Many web browsers, as well as certain mobile operating systems and applications, provide a Do-Not-Track (DNT) option that allows you to express your preference to not have your online browsing activities monitored or collected. However, there is currently no universally accepted standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. As a result, we do not respond to DNT signals from browsers or other methods indicating a preference not to be tracked online. Should a standard for online tracking be established in the future, we will update this privacy policy to inform you of our practices regarding that standard.

Do California Residents Have Specific Privacy Rights?

Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, commonly referred to as the “Shine The Light” law, residents of California can request details about the categories of personal information we have shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. This request can be made once a year at no cost. Residents are also entitled to ask for the names and addresses of the third parties with whom their information was shared in the previous calendar year.
