This contract covers the terms and conditions that apply to your use of all sites and services owned or operated by Charis Center and affiliated organizations, along with any other site that we have owned or operated, currently own and operate, or may own or operate in the future, collectively referred to as the “sites.” By using this website, you agree to these terms.

Governing Law

The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy set forth on the sites are governed and interpreted under the laws of the United States of America and the State of Oklahoma, without giving effect to conflict-of-law provisions. If any portion is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that portion will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. We may, at our sole discretion, replace or amend such provisions with another provision. These terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the sites and any materials, communications, transmissions, or postings to the sites.

Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right to revise this policy at any time by updating this posting. You agree to be bound by any such revisions and should periodically read and review this policy.

If we change our policies, we will post those changes to this statement, the home page, and/or other places we deem appropriate so our users remain aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of users of our sites. Please review our Privacy Policy below, which explains how we protect your personal information and the choices you have concerning our use of that information. By using our sites, you consent to the processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, including any future amendments.

Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right to revise this policy at any time by updating this posting. You agree to be bound by any such revisions and should periodically read and review this policy.

This policy applies to personal information. Once information is de-identified, it is no longer considered personal information and is not subject to this policy.

Collection of Information

We may request personal identifying information from you in connection with your use of or participation in appointment scheduling, communications, requests for information or suggestions, requests for free products or services, email correspondence, social media reviews or tags, and other activities, services, or resources made available on any of our sites.

We only collect information that is reasonably related to and necessary for providing our services to you.

The information we collect may include:

Your name.
Your street address.
Your telephone number.
Your email address.
Your date of birth.
Donation information, such as debit or credit card information.
Health information needed to schedule an appointment.
The location of your device.

In all cases, we collect personal identifying information from you only when you voluntarily submit it to us. We will never intentionally disclose personal identifying information about you as an individual user to a third party without receiving your permission.

We do not sell or otherwise share your data with third parties. Although we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

We may share aggregated demographic information that is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Collected information includes information you voluntarily provide to us and may also include information automatically sent by your device as you interact with this website, commonly referred to as log data.

We and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information from your computer or mobile device over time and across different websites when you use the sites. This may occur through cookies or similar technologies and may include your Internet Protocol address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you view on the sites.

This information allows us and our service providers to recognize you, personalize your experience when you return to the sites, improve the sites and services we provide, and provide advertisements targeted to your interests.

Use of Information

Charis Center may use, retain, and disclose information to:

Customize your use of our website.
Contact and communicate with you.
Conduct market research and analytics.
Provide access to our website and social media platforms.
Provide requested services.
Communicate with you about your appointment.

We may also aggregate data about our website visitors with information obtained from other trusted resources.

Information Storage

Information is safely stored for the period of time needed to properly serve you. It will be deleted or de-identified after that time.

To Whom We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose information we collect from or about you:

To service providers who work on our behalf.
As required by law.
When required to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
To detect, prevent, or respond to misuse of our sites.
In a de-identified and aggregated form with other user data to national affiliations or third parties for reporting and research purposes.

Parental Permission

Some of the information available on the sites concerns the topic of sex and may not be appropriate for children. The sites are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

We strongly recommend that parents participate in their children’s exploration of the internet and online services and use their browser’s parental controls to limit the areas of the internet their children can access.

Security

Our sites take commercially acceptable precautions to protect users’ information from theft, loss, or modification. When users submit sensitive information through the sites, we make significant efforts to ensure their information is protected both online and offline, although no form of electronic transmission is completely secure.

When registration, donation, appointment, or chat forms ask users to enter sensitive information, such as a credit card number, that information is encrypted using SSL technology.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also work to protect user information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job, such as billing or customer service, are granted access to personally identifiable information.

The servers that store personally identifiable information are maintained in a secure environment. In the event of a data breach, we commit to complying with applicable laws.

Your Choices

The sites may use cookies, which are pieces of data stored in your web browser for later use by the website. If you do not want the sites to collect information through cookies, you may configure your web browser to reject cookies from the sites.

If you wish to review or correct the contact information we have on file for you, or inform us how you would like your contact information to be used, please contact our staff using the contact information provided in this policy.

When you contact us or otherwise submit content through the sites, you should not provide your name if you wish to remain anonymous. To more fully protect your privacy, do not provide information that you believe may identify you or others.

If you sign up for our email list, you will have the ability to unsubscribe from the list.

If any information we have about you is incorrect, please contact us using the contact information provided in this policy.

If you believe a possible breach has occurred, please contact us with the relevant details. We will comply with applicable investigation and response requirements. You also have the right to file a complaint with us and with the appropriate regulatory agencies.
