COOKIES AND HOW WE USE THEM
What are cookies?
Cookies enable us to customize and personalize your experience for certain parts of our Service. Essentially, a cookie is a small data file that is sent to your browser from a web server and is stored on your computer’s hard drive. It enables our Service to identify your computer as you view different pages or areas within our Service.
Cookies allow websites and applications to store your preferences in order to present content, options or functions that are specific to you. They also enable us to see information like how many people use our Service and what pages or areas they tend to visit.
How we use cookies
We use cookies in several different purposes in connection with the operation of our Service:
• Store information about your preferences: We may use cookies to identify you and access your information stored on our computers in order to deliver you a better and more personalized experience.
• Identify whether you are signed in to our Service: A cookie allows us to check whether you are signed in to the Service. Upon request, we will save your “user name” so that you do not have to re-enter it every time you visit our Service – this requires use of a cookie.
• Analyze traffic using analytics package: We may use cookies to estimate the size of our user base and usage patterns. Each browser accessing our Service is given a unique cookie that is then used to determine the extent of repeat visits and the user’s activity during those visits. We may use the historical information to help target promotions based on user interests and behavior, both specifically to individual users and on an aggregate basis with respect to all users. Aggregated usage data helps us improve the Service structure, design, content and functions.
• Promotions: We also may use cookies to track your progress and number of entries in some promotions and contests, or through a registration process. For example, when a promotion uses cookies, the information coded to the cookie indicates your progress through the promotion, and may be used to track entries, submissions and status of prize drawings.
• Test content on our Service: For example, 50% of our users might see one piece of content, while the other 50% may see a different piece of content.
• To retarget you on other websites: Such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter and/or other websites you may visit on the internet.
Controlling Cookies
Cookies do not provide us with access to your computer or any information about you, other than that which you choose to share with us. You have several choices with respect to cookies. You can modify your browser preferences to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you may no longer be able to log onto our Service and/or utilize the content of the Service.
CONTROLLING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

Please note that your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal or deletion of the content or information, as, for example, some of your content may have been reposted by other users on or within the Service or on City Lights’ social media pages.
SHARING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone unless we have your permission or the law requires us to do so. If and whenever we intend to share your personally identifiable information with a third party (other than to a business partner as provided herein), you will be notified at the time of data collection or transfer, and you will have the option of not permitting the transfer. However, we may from time to time rent or sell demographic information in the aggregate that does not contain your personally identifiable information.
Any personal information we hold about you is stored and processed under our data protection policy, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
We generally will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission to do so or under some special circumstances described below:
• As noted previously, we may from time to time partner with other companies to offer co-branded services as well as contests and promotions. Any information that you provide in connection with the co-branded services or any jointly sponsored contests or promotions will become the joint property of City Lights and its business partners. We may also disclose other personal information about you to our business partners, but only if we have obtained your permission to make the disclosure before data collection or before transferring the data.
• We may, from time to time, offer you the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you want to receive this information, we may (but only with your permission) share your name and e-mail address with them.
• We may disclose aggregate demographic and/or user information and statistics in order to describe our customer base to third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
• We may disclose your personally identifiable information without your prior permission only in special cases. For example, we may have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms and Conditions, or may be causing intentional or unintentional injury or interference to the rights or property of City Lights or any third party, including other users. Also, we may disclose or access your personally identifiable information when we believe in good faith that the law or regulations require disclosure.
PRIVACY POLICIES OF COMPANY PARTNERS
Third parties that may have links on or within our Service may collect personally identifiable information about you. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of such sites and the practices of these sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about the privacy policies or practices of a third party site, you should contact the site administrator or web-master of the specific site. We may from time to time partner with other companies to offer co-branded services as well as sweepstakes, contests and promotions. Any information that you provide in connection with the co-branded services or any jointly sponsored sweepstakes, contests or promotions will become the joint property of City Lights and its business partners.

As detailed above, you may choose to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes at any time by submitting a request in writing to City Lights, c/o SouthBrook Christian Church, at 9095 Washington Church Road, Miamisburg, Ohio 45342 or by sending an email to info@SouthBrook.org. Please include your account number and phone number in the body of your email or letter, and put “Opt-out” in the subject line. It is important to note that this opt-out request does not prohibit us from sending you important administrative disclosures for non-marketing purposes. We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
SECURITY
To protect the security and quality of your personal information, we have implemented technical and managerial procedures to maintain accurate, current and complete information as well as to protect your personal information against loss, misuse or alteration when it is under our control. Your personally identifiable information will be encrypted and stored on our secured servers. Your personal information is also password protected so that access is limited to yourself and those with whom you share your password, City Lights, as well as third party access facilitated by City Lights with your prior permission.
It is important to remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, your information can be collected and used by others. If you transmit or post personal information online that is accessible to others, you will not be able to control how that information is used by others. When we receive the transmitted information, we will use the procedures summarized in this Privacy Policy to ensure the integrity and security of that information in our system. Unfortunately, notwithstanding any of the steps taken by us, it is not possible to guarantee the security and integrity of data transmitted over the Internet. Consequently, while we take the above-described reasonable steps to protect your personal information, we cannot and do not warrant the security or integrity of any information you transmit to us when registering for our Service or otherwise. All such transmission of information is at your own risk. Moreover, though we are committed to having our Servercomply with this Privacy Policy, you are ultimately responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and your personally identifiable information. If you are careless with your password, or you decide to share your password with third parties, you must be aware of the risk that such third parties will have access to all your personally identifiable information.
SALE OR MERGER
We have a legitimate interest in transferring or disclosing your personal identifiable information to a third party if we are involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition or asset sale, and your personally identifiable information may be transferred to another party as part of the transaction. In such an event, data you provided to us, where it is relevant to any part of the business transaction, will be transferred to the new owner or new controlling entity who will be permitted to use the data for the purposes for which the data was originally collected by us. In this event, we will notify you in advance of the transaction and inform you of the changes.

We periodically review and update this Privacy Policy in light of our business practices and applicable law or regulations. Any and all revisions to the Privacy Policy will be posted to this page.
