About This Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us, so we’ve developed this Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information. We collect personal information when you use our website(s), mobile apps, and other online and offline products, services and experiences (collectively, the “Services”). Please take a moment to read through this Policy in its entirety.

If you have any questions, concerns or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how we use your personal information please contact us via e-mail at info@cocfaculty.org.

What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It?

We collect personal information that you provide directly to us:

Contact information. If you sign up to receive our newsletter, emails, or text messages from us, we will collect your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and any other information needed to contact you about the Services.

Payment information. To order products or services through the Services, you will need to provide us with payment information (like your bank account or credit card information). Please note that your financial information is collected and stored by a third party payment processing company. Use and storage of that information is governed by the third party payment processor’s applicable privacy policy.

Survey information. You may provide us with other personal information when you fill in a form, respond to our surveys or questionnaires, provide us with feedback, participate in promotions, or use other features of the Services.

How We Use Your Personal Information?

We use the personal information we collect for the following reasons:

  • To send you our newsletter, or other information or marketing about our Services that you think may be of interest to you.

  • To reply to your questions, inquiries, or customer service requests or to send you notices, updates, security alerts, or support and administrative messages.

  • To provide you with information about the Services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you.

  • To monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with our Services and to improve the Services.

  • To facilitate contests, sweepstakes and promotions, and to process entries and provide prizes and rewards.

  • To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities on the Services and to protect the rights and property of us and our customers.

  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.

How We Share Your Personal Information?

Our organization maintains strict privacy policies to protect the personal information of our users obtained for text message communications. This information is never sold, rented, released, or traded to others without prior consent or legal obligation. Any sharing of information with third parties is solely for the purpose of fulfilling the organization's obligations to the user. We guarantee that it will never be shared with third parties for marketing purposes."

"Text Message Opt-Out: If you are receiving text messages from us and wish to stop receiving them, simply respond with either “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to the number from which you received the message. Once we receive your message, you will no longer receive further text messages from us."  

We may be legally required to disclose or share your personal information without your consent in some circumstances, for example to comply with a court order or law enforcement. In such circumstances, we will only disclose your personal data if we have a good-faith belief that such sharing is required under applicable legal obligations.

Your Marketing Choices

When you sign up for a promotion like a sweepstakes, or subscribe to our newsletter or marketing/promotional messages, we use your personal information to help us decide which products, services and offers may be of interest to you.

We will send marketing messages to you if you have asked us to send you information, bought goods or services from us, or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion. If you opt out of receiving marketing messages, we may still send you non-promotional emails. We will ask for your consent before we share your personal information with any third party for their direct marketing purposes.

You may unsubscribe from marketing messages through a link we include on messages we send you. You can also ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at: info@cocfaculty.org.

Retention of Your Data and Deletion

Your personal information will not be kept longer than is necessary for the specific purpose for which it was collected.

When we decide how long we will keep your information we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, why we need it, and any relevant legal requirements (such as legal retention and destruction periods).

The foregoing will, however, not prevent us from retaining any personal information if it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, in order to file a legal claim or defend ourselves against a legal claim, or for evidential purposes.

International Transfers

We will ensure that any transfer of personal information to countries outside of the United States will take place pursuant to the appropriate safeguards.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

From time to time, we have the right to modify this Privacy Policy. We’re likely to update this Privacy Policy in the future and when we make changes. Please come back and check this page from time to time for the latest information on our privacy practices.
