This policy was last updated on 7/20/2022. Original policy effective as of 1/19/2018.

This website is owned and operated by The Village Family Service Center (hereafter referred to as The Village, we, or us). The Village takes the privacy of your personal information seriously. This policy describes how information may be collected, how it may be used, and the measures we take to ensure the security of that information.

When you provide personal information, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, or payment information, to The Village through an online contact form, email subscription service, or linked payment processor, we will use that information to respond to your questions or comments, to provide services or information to you, and/or to obtain payment for services provided. The Village may also contact users with information that relates to their requests or interests. Information you submit is shared internally with employees of The Village who need this information to respond to your request or improve operations. Information may also be utilized to evaluate the technical functionality of our website, and to address inappropriate use or communications with our website.

The Village offers you the opportunity to receive email communications including newsletters and marketing communications. You may opt out of receiving marketing emails by following the instructions on the marketing email. Other communications that you send to us via email may be shared with a customer service representative, employee, counselor or other Village employee that is best able to respond to your inquiry. Email communications are not completely secure or confidential. It is possible that an email may be accessed or read by other internet users. Please do not use email for communications you wish to keep private and secure.

In addition, The Village allows only authorized employees or agents access to personal information. Although The Village cannot guarantee there will be no unauthorized access to personal information, our measures increase the security and privacy of information traveling to, from, and within this website.
