Privacy Policy

Introduction

The Jorja Emerson Centre is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We believe that the best way to protect the privacy of our users is to tell you what information we gather and ensure that you understand and consent to The Jorja Emerson Centre uses of the information you provide. We may occasionally modify the Privacy Policy and will post the revised Privacy Policy on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we use or disclose it.

We may let you know via the homepage when this happens but you should check the policy frequently to read the latest Privacy Policy. Please note that the Website contains links to and from other websites.

Security

We are committed to using our best efforts to maintain the security of your personal information. Although we use our best efforts to protect the security of your personal information and our system, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, no transmission via the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result of this and other factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee the security of the information that you transmit to or through our Website. Therefore, you assume that risk by using the Website.
