This Legal & Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the terms that govern your use of our website at www.csj117.org (the "Site"); how we collect, use, and protect the personal information we gather through the Site; and other legal notices relevant to your use of the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

This Policy applies to the Site and to your interactions with CSJ through it, including newsletter sign-ups, donations, contact and volunteer forms, and event registrations. It does not govern our Facebook Group or other third-party platforms, which have their own terms and privacy practices (see Section 11, "Third-Party Links, Embedded Content, and Our Facebook Group," below). We may update this Policy from time to time; your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

You may access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes consistent with CSJ's mission, including reading content, registering for events, subscribing to communications, and making donations.

You agree not to:

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, and design — is owned by CSJ or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws, unless otherwise noted. You may view, download, and share Site content for personal, non-commercial, and ministry-related purposes, provided you do not alter it and you credit CSJ as the source. Any other use requires our prior written permission. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, please contact us at ChristiansSeekingJustice@gmail.com with a description of the material and your contact information, and we will investigate promptly.

Content on the Site — including articles, teachings, resources and discussion materials — is provided for informational and spiritual encouragement purposes only. It is not intended as legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice and should not be relied upon as such. Please consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. CSJ does not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CSJ and its officers, directors, staff, and volunteers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site.

This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you:

This information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, religious affiliation, demographic data, and, if you make a donation, payment information (see Section 6, "Donations and Payment Processing," below).

Like most websites, our Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as Google Analytics) to collect certain information automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps us understand how visitors use the Site so that we can improve it, and generally does not identify you personally. See Section 9, "Cookies, Analytics, and Other Tracking Technologies," below for more detail.

We use the personal information we collect to:

CSJ does not sell or distribute your personal information to third parties for any purpose. We use and share your personal information only to: (a) complete the actions necessary to accomplish the purpose for which the information was provided (for example, sharing payment information with our payment processor to complete a donation); (b) improve CSJ's programs; or (c) inform you of CSJ programs, events, and announcements related to CSJ's mission.

We may also share your information with service providers who help us operate the Site, manage event registrations or process donations (who are permitted to use your information only to provide those services to us); when required by law or legal process; or to protect the rights, safety, or property of CSJ, our members, or the public.

​​​​​​​If CSJ were ever to merge with, or transfer substantially all of its assets to, another organization, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

If you make a donation through the Site, your payment is processed by PayPal, a secure third-party payment processor. CSJ does not store your full credit card, debit card, or bank account number on its own servers. Please review PayPal's privacy policy to understand how it handles your payment information.

If you sign up for our mailing list, we will send you emails about CSJ news, programs, and announcements related to our mission. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email, or by contacting us directly (see "Contact Us" below).

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information below.

We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve it. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for purposes such as:

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how the Site functions. We do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information, and we do not knowingly permit third parties to use cookies on the Site for their own advertising purposes.

CSJ is committed to making the Site accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as our website evolves. If you encounter any barrier to accessing content or features on the Site, please contact us at ChristiansSeekingJustice@gmail.com, and we will work with you to provide the information or service you need and to address the issue.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and platforms, and may include embedded content (such as videos), including links to our CSJ Facebook Group, Instagram, or YouTube channel. This Policy does not apply to those third-party sites, platforms, or embedded content, which have their own legal and privacy policies and practices outside of CSJ's control. We encourage you to review the legal and privacy policies of any third-party sites or platforms you visit, including Facebook's legal and privacy policies before joining our Facebook Group.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

You may contact us at any time to review, correct, update, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of future communications. We will honor such requests except where we are required to retain information for legal, administrative, or recordkeeping purposes.

CSJ is a small, volunteer-run religious nonprofit and does not meet the revenue or data-volume thresholds that trigger the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
