In the course of using the Site, we may ask that you provide us with some personally identifiable information – information about you that can be used to contact or identify you, and information on your use / or potential use of the Site (“Personal Information”). It is possible for you to access parts of the Site without providing any of your Personal Information. However, in order to take full advantage of the Site and all the resources JBN has to offer, you are required to connect with a region or join the online forum.
If you wish to connect with JBN, you will be required to submit your name and email address to JBN along with other required and optional information.

We use your Personal Information to offer you certain services through this Site and the JBN Group, including, the provision of information about upcoming events, parenting information, volunteer opportunities and more.

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect data about your visit, including your IP address, and non-personal data such as your browser type, the pages you visit, and the search terms you use. This information provides us with data about user activity and helps us improve the usability and reliability of the Site. This information may be automatically correlated with your username if you are logged in to the Site. However, we only use this non-personal data in connection with your personal information if necessary to provide services to you.
Cookies
The Site may rely on “cookie” technology (including flash cookies) to collect additional usage data and to support any login mechanisms on the Site. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive. We do not use cookies to collect Personal Information, and, to our knowledge, WordPress does not do so either. However, we and/or WordPress may do so in the future. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can configure your browser to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting cookies from the websites you visit.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
We may choose to disclose some or all of your information, including your Personal Information, any correspondences and non-personal data, to the government, law enforcement officials, or private parties if we, in our sole discretion, believe it necessary or appropriate to comply with the law, to respond to legal complaints, to comply with legal process (including subpoenas), to protect the rights of JBN or a third party, to enforce our terms and conditions, to ensure the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally questionable activity.
Security
We believe the safety and security of your Personal Information is important. We employ procedural and technological measures in an attempt to protect your information from unauthorized access and use. Although we do attempt to keep your Personal Information secure, no security measures are perfect; there is always a possibility that a security breach could occur, resulting in the release of Personal Information. Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or may abuse or misuse your Personal Information available on the Site.
Certain of our third party providers may also have access to your Personal Information and may have their own procedural and technological measures in place to protect your Personal Information. These providers may also backup your Personal Information. While JBN makes every effort to select responsible third party providers, we are not responsible for, and have no control over, the security measures of our third party providers, or where or how long they may store your Personal Information. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of our third party providers.

The Site may contain links to other websites. You should pay particular attention to which website you are visiting when submitting any Personal Information. This Privacy Policy addresses the use and disclosure of only that information that we collect from you through the Site and the JBN Group. Different rules may apply to information you submit to other websites. We are not responsible for, and have no control over, the sharing practices or policies of the third parties that operate those sites. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of third parties with which you interact.
Our Policy Toward Children
The Site is not intended for or directed toward, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from, children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will attempt to remove such information from our files.
