The Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC) collects and receives information for the sole purpose of providing information, products and services to the requestors. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.

JCCCNC collects personal information when you register your name for programs, events or requests for information, including registering for our email newsletter. We use this information for providing you with the information or service you request.
When you register for specific programs or services, we mayask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. JCCCNC uses this information in order to fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, and to conduct research. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
Japanese Cultural & Community Center of Northern California does not sell or trade names or other personal data that we collect on our web site nor do we maintain any credit card information. Credit card donations through our web site are processed exclusively by Groundspring.org. Groundspring.org is committed to providing safe, secure and private online transactions.

Online registration for our monthly email newsletter is handled through GotMarketing. This service enables us to create fully opt-in subscriptions and enforces a strict policy for allowing subscribers the option to unsubscribe from our newsletter list at any time. GotMarketing is a professional services company, fiercely committed to a strict anti-spam policy, that enables organizations to communicate more effectively with their constituencies.
GotMarketing respects the privacy and security of your personal information. GotMarketing will not sell, rent, loan or invite external access to JCCCNC's newsletter distribution list (including customer data) to any outside firms nor will GotMarketing use customer contact lists for their own marketing purposes. Furthermore, "GotMarketing™, developers of Campaigner™ email marketing tools, and GotMarketing Partners (those who make Campaigner available to their customers), support ONLY permission-based marketing practices.... The terms and conditions of using Campaigner inform our clients they can only send email campaigns to people who have agreed to receive them. Our spam early warning system uses sophisticated algorithms to assess the probability that a list is not opt-in. Any list that fails the early warning system is held and reviewed with the customer." For more information about GotMarketing's privacy and security policies, please see their official privacy policy.
