We regard our visitors' privacy as one of our most important values. We want you
to know how we protect visitor information and what choices you have about its
use. We believe our Privacy Policy should give you confidence whenever you visit
Antioch — all 24 hours of the day, every day of the year.
Our Privacy Commitment
We are committed to protecting your personal privacy. Our 5 Principles of Privacy
summarize and clarify that commitment: how we safeguard your privacy, how we treat
personal information, and what choices you have. We understand that for you to take full
advantage of the benefits of this interactive medium, we must do what we can to ensure that
your privacy is secure.
THE 5 PRINCIPLES OF PRIVACY:
- We do not disclose your private online communications.
- We do not use any information about where you personally go in the Antioch
website, and we do not share it with any other party.
- We do not sell or otherwise pass on any of the information you provide us
(name, E-mail address, URL, telephone number, mailing address, etc.).
- We use secure technology, privacy protection controls, and restrictions on
employee access in order to safeguard your personal information.
- We will keep you informed about what we do with your personal information,
and we ill advise you if we change our policy.
(1) We do not disclose your private online communications.
Antioch honors the confidentiality of its visitors' private communications (i.e.
email, calendar appointment postings, address book and bookmark additions, and
file uploads/downloads). Antioch does not disclose private communications except
to comply with legal processes. However, what you explicitly publish (e.g. in
the guestbook, public forum) in Antioch will be available to the general public.
(2) We do not use any information about where you personally go in the
Antioch website, and we do not share it with any other party.
Our system automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on our
service. We do not share any of this data with outside companies. We do use
navigational information in the aggregate to understand how our visitors as a
group use the service so that we can make Antioch better. And from time to time,
we may communicate with you directly via email to make suggestions and provide
advice about how to more effectively and efficiently use our service. You can
opt out of receiving such email messages by responding to any of them and
asking to be taken off the list.
We may also share aggregated navigational information with our partners (whom are
under confidentiality obligations), but in doing so, we don't disclose personal
navigational information. We do not keep track of where you go on the World Wide
Web. The Web sites you visit may have their own privacy policies or no policy at
all. Once you click on a link leading to another web site, our privacy policy no
longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Web sites
before providing them with any of your personal information.
(3) We do not sell or otherwise pass on any of the information you provide us
(name, E-mail address, URL, telephone number, mailing address, etc.).
Antioch may ask visitors for their name, E-mail address, URL, telephone number,
mailing address, telephone number, and (if you use our secured E-commerce
facilities) billing information — including the credit card account used
to pay for your purchases/booking — as well as some basic system configuration
information. Here is how we protect that information:
- Antioch will not sell, rent or otherwise pass on your name, E-mail address,
URL, telephone number, mailing address, or any other registration information,
whether in electronics, printed or any medium.
- In the case where additional safeguard is necessary (e.g. receiving credit
card information), Antioch uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to receive
these information securely.
- We will not share your specific system configuration information with any
third party. We may from time-to-time aggregate our users' system information
and share that with partners (whom are under confidentiality obligations), but
in no case is an individual's specific system configuration revealed to
third-parties.
- We do, however, collect and use system configuration information internally
in order to more effectively diagnose visitor problems. Antioch automatically
queries your computer for information such as: the operating system you are using
(whether MacOS®, Windows® or variants of UNIX®), which web browser
you are using (Navigator®/Communicator®, Internet Explorer®) and
the date and time of your visit. In addition, we keep a history of visitors'
email exchanges with Antioch.
We have two exceptions to this policy. We will release specific information
about you to law enforcement authorities if compelled to in order to
comply with legal process. We may from time to time share aggregate visit or
registration information (such as percentage of visitors who are active in
forum discussion, visits by denomination etc.) with our partners and prospective partners
such as churches/missions/organizations being hosted by us (whom are under
confidentiality obligations). However, we make no commitments on behalf of our
hosted partners, and encourage you to acquaint yourself with their individual
privacy policies as well.
(4) We use secure technology, privacy protection controls, and restrictions
on employee access in order to safeguard your personal information.
We use industry-standard technology to keep your personal information — including
your profile/registration information — as secure as possible. We also have put in
place privacy protection control systems designed to ensure that these data remain safe and private.
Each and every Antioch employee servicing Antioch is obligated to abide by the
Antioch privacy policy. Employees who violate our privacy policies are subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Only authorized Antioch employees servicing Antioch are permitted to have
access to your personal information and such access is limited by need.
(5) We will keep you informed about what we do with your personal
information, and we will advise you if we change our policy.
A key part of Antioch's commitment to protecting your privacy is explaining
to you how we may use your personal information. This privacy policy serves
that purpose. In addition, we will inform you wherever it is ambiguous, how your
personal information will be used at the webpage where you are expected to
provide any personal information.
A current copy of this policy is available from Antioch. We will notify
prominently on our website in the event of changes to our policy.

concern or policy violation you wish to report, or wish to change or delete the
visitor information you submitted to Antioch, please contact us at
