Philadelphia Christian Church is the sole owner of the information collected on Philadelphiacc.org. Philadelphiacc.org may collect information from our users at several different points on the Philadelphiacc.org site.
Comments
To enhance their use of Philadelphiacc.org, users can choose to leave comments on particular articles of interest. Commenters may register anonymously. However, if a third party complains that a comment breaches our Terms of Service (e.g., libels them), then in accordance with our Terms, we will make reasonable efforts to contact the commenter and alert them to the situation. If we are required by law to disclose commenters’ contact information, we will attempt to contact commenters to give them the opportunity to respond to such requests. Please refer to our terms of use for more information.
Mailing Lists
Philadelphiacc.org may launch a mailing list to provide subscribers with relevant information – such as breaking news, or weekly or daily round-ups. To sign up to receive regular emails, users must submit information including a valid email address and demographic information. This information will be used in aggregate form only to assess general user interest in various internal and third-party products and services. Your personal and contact information will not be passed to any other organization. Users who sign up for a mailing list will receive regular emails from the site, which may occasionally include an email from a third-party sponsor. These emails will clearly be marked as advertising. If you do not wish to receive emails from third-party advertisers, please do not sign up for the mailing list.
Discussion Group and Cookies
To further enhance the user experience, Philadelphiacc.org runs a commenting service on some or all of the Philadelphiacc.org Sites where users can discuss common topics of interest. Users can sign up for this service by submitting information including a valid email address. Philadelphiacc.org uses this information to screen out users who leave comments prohibited by our terms and conditions of use and to pick out topics of interest to discussion board users. Philadelphiacc.org will not pass this information to any other organization except in aggregate form. The discussion board service may use cookies, which are pieces of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. Session ID cookies terminate once users close the browser. Persistent cookies are small text files stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. We store a cookie on each user’s machine that contains a username and encrypted password. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use Philadelphiacc.org products or services that require you to “sign in,” and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings. However, not all Philadelphiacc.org services require that you accept cookies.

This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may use a tracking utility that uses log files to analyze user movement.
Business Transactions
In the event Philadelphiacc.org goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Legal Disclaimer
