connection with our Service, 1CFS may gather, disclose, keep, transfer, and use information
that could be used to specifically identify a user ("Personal Data").
The Site is the only website to which this privacy statement is relevant; it does not apply to any
other websites to which you may have access through the Site and which may have data
collecting, storage, and use methods and policies that are significantly different from those of
the Site.

2. TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
You may be required to give us certain information that personally identifies you in order to
access certain services and make purchases of goods and services we provide over the Site
("Personal Information"). Personal data consists of:
Contact Information: We gather the most basic data about you, including your first and last
names, mailing and email addresses, birthdate, and social network handles.
Financial Account Information: Details you give in relation to a Service purchase or payment,
such as a credit card number, expiration date, credit card company, PayPal email address, and
Amazon payment email address. For the purpose of providing essential services, such as but not
limited to processing payments for orders placed through the Site, all Financial Data you
voluntarily provide may be collected and processed by third-party business partners.
Use of Service Data: Information gathered while you use our service, including your search
history, browsing history, download history, favorites, votes, and follower counts as well as
your purchase history, cart data, and check-out information.
User Account Information: Details about your user account, including your IP address, user
name, store name, email address, and password. For instance, we use this information to verify
your identity when you sign in to the Service, and we use the IP address to support the security
of your browser session when you use the Service.
Public User Content: Images, photographs, comments, and other content, information, and
materials that you choose to provide while using our Service.
User Feedback: If you contact us with feedback, a complaint, or a question, we may keep a
record of the Personal Information and other information you include so that we can properly
address your inquiry. Any such contact with 1CFS should be made pursuant to Section 9, below.
Traffic Data: Data that the Service automatically tracks and collects about how you use the
Service, including (i) IP addresses; (ii) domain servers; (iii) device and browser types accessing
the Site; (iv) operating systems; (v) types of web browsers used to access the Site; (vi) the pages
or features of our Website or Service that you browsed; (vii) time spent on those pages or
features; (viii) the frequency with which the Service is used; (ix) search terms used and (x) links
on the Service that you clicked on or used (collectively "Traffic Data").
Site Traffic Data is anonymous information that doesn't let anyone know who you are but is
useful for marketing or to make the Site more enjoyable for you. We also gather usage and
performance data that is not personal data, is aggregated, or has been de-identified so that it
cannot be used to personally identify a user. Additionally, we link some non-personal data with
personal data.
Important Notice: Any information you supply in communications with us via email or other
online forms, surveys, or product evaluations may be collected as Personal Information.
We make commercially reasonable measures to limit the gathering of personal data to what is
required to achieve the goals outlined in Section 3 below. Without first getting your approval,
we won't use your data in any way other than for which it was originally acquired.
When you (i) create an account (a "User Account"); (ii) log into the service; (iv) interact with the
service; (v) upload or create user content; (vi) communicate with us; (vii) respond to a
communication or interaction from us; (viii) add items to your cart; (ix) make a purchase on our
site; and (ix) join our email lists. Some other methods and tools we use to collect Personal Data
are:
Unique Identifiers: To track individual usage behavior on our Service, such as the amount of
time spent on each page and the pages visited during a given log-in period, we and our third-
party service providers use unique identifiers like cookies, e-mail, or your pseudonymous user
ID and store owner ID, username. Individual usage data is gathered through unique identifiers
about each user's use of our service.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: To provide functionality and to recognize you across
different Services and devices, we and our third-party partners, including our advertising and
analytics partners, use cookies and other tracking technologies (such as web beacons, device
identifiers, and pixels).
We might make use of both temporary (session) cookies and permanent (persistent) cookies
(which stay on your computer until you delete them). By following the instructions in your
browser's help file, persistent cookies can be deleted. After you leave our Service, we may still
be able to track your online behavior thanks to these cookies. By tracking things like how
frequently users visit our service, which features they use, which pages they visit, which emails
they open, and which other websites or applications they used before and after using our
service, these Tracking Tools help us better understand our users and analyze how users
interact with the service. Some parts of the Site may not function properly or at all if you opt to
disable cookies.
Third-Party Widgets: Some of our Services' content may include widgets and social networking
buttons like the "Tweet" and "Like" buttons for Twitter and Facebook. Your IP address, the page
you are visiting, and maybe a cookie are collected by these widgets and features in order for
them to work properly. Either a third party or our Services directly host widgets and social
networking functionality. The privacy policy of the provider of these features will control how
you interact with them.
Third-Party Marketing: We also work with a third-party partner to locate users and present
them with marketing on our behalf (i.e. email or direct mail). In addition to your IP address,
device ID, and details about your browser or operating system, our partners may also gather
information about you directly from your device, combine it with information from other
sources, and set or recognize a special cookie on your browser. They can identify you thanks to
this behavior, which makes it easier for us to market to you. Please visit
https://1stchoicefamilyservices.org/ to opt out of recognition services. Please visit
https://1stchoicefamilyservices.org/ to disable third-party cookies.
ENFORCEMENT: In order to look into, apply, and enforce our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy,
we may use the information we gather in connection with your use of the Site or Services.
3. HOW COLLECTED INFORMATION IS USED
For the following reasons: I to provide and improve our services; (iii) to better understand your
needs and interests; (iv) to fulfill requests you make; (v) to provide Service announcements; (vi)
to protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity; and (vii) to
provide necessary information. We use Contact Data to send you company information,
services information, product information, promotional information, and updates from our
company, affiliates, and some of our partners.
4. SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA
In order to conduct business, we disclose specific categories of data we gather from you in the
manners outlined in this Privacy Statement. Contact Data will be shared with our business
partners that help us run the Site by providing essential services (such hosting, billing,
fulfillment, shipping, or data storage and security). They have all agreed to observe the same
security and confidentiality duties set forth in this Privacy Policy, and they will only use your
Contact Data and other Personal Information in order to fulfill their specific contractual
obligations to the Company.
5. PERSONAL INFORMATION INTEGRITY AND SECURITY
We will keep your Personal Information private and won't share it with other parties, with the
exception of what is stated in this Privacy Policy, unless necessary to: (a) comply with a court
order or other legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; or (c) enforce our Terms of Use.
Your Personal Information is kept on safe servers that are off-limits to outsiders. If you use a
web browser with a similar set of capabilities, we give you the option to send your Personal
Information over channels that are secure and encrypted.
Your account is password-protected as well. We only allow those employees and contractors
who need access to your Personal Information to do their jobs. Please email us at
info@1stchoicefamilyservices.org if you have any questions about the security on the Site.
Even while we take the necessary precautions to prevent unauthorized disclosures of
information, we are unable to guarantee that your personal information won't ever be
disclosed in a way that conflicts with this privacy statement. No security system is impregnable,
and due to the inherent characteristics of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data is
completely safe from intrusion by outsiders while being transmitted across the Internet, stored
on our systems, or otherwise in our care. Any unintentional disclosures or information that is
intercepted while being sent over the internet are not the responsibility of 1CFS.
6. INFORMATION AND DATA RETENTION
We keep your personal information on file for as long as your account with us is active or as
long as it takes to deliver our services to you. When doing so is necessary to meet our legal
duties, settle disputes, or recover fees due, or when it is otherwise permitted or required by
relevant law, rule, or regulation, we may keep Personal Data for longer periods of time. Any
such Personal Data will be erased or rendered unreadable after disposal. Following that, we
keep some information in an aggregated or depersonalized format, but not in a way that would
personally identify you.
7. USER ABILITY TO ACCESS, UPDATE, CORRECT, AND DELETE PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Access, Update, and Correct: We keep a process in place to make it easier for you to verify that
your personal information is accurate and current. You can log in at any time to the "User
Settings," "Email Settings," and "Store Settings" (if applicable) web pages of the Site to see your
account information. You can check and change the Personal Information we already have
about you on our "User Settings," "Email Settings," and "Store Settings" web pages. You can
also decide whether or not we can send you information about our business or advertisements
from third parties.
Removal: To have your personal information removed, get in touch with Info@1stcfs.org and
ask us to completely erase all of your personal information.
Portability: This is the ability to request a copy of your personal data in a machine-readable
format. In cases when it is technically possible, you can also ask that we transfer the data to
another controller. For either, send an email to Info@1stcfs.org.
8. INFORMATION ABOUT ANOTHER PERSON
We will only use your friend's email address to contact them about the invitation if you give it
to us so we can ask them to open an account on the website. By giving us another person's
email address, you are certifying to us that you have that person's permission to share their
personal information with us. All invitees have the option to decline receiving additional
invitations.
9. LOST OR STOLEN INFORMATION
If your credit card or password is lost, stolen, or used in any other way without your consent,
you must contact us right away. In that case, we will update our records and delete that credit
card number or password from your account.
10. PUBLIC INFORMATION
Links to other websites are available on the Site. The content of those websites and their
privacy policies are not our responsibility. We might also provide you with access to chat
rooms, forums, message boards, product review boards, and news groups. Please be aware
that whatever you disclose in these sections becomes public knowledge. You should use
caution when deciding to disclose your Personal Information because we have no control over
how it will be used.
11. SECURE SHOPPING
We employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, the industry-standard
authentication and encryption technology, to protect the personal information we gather, even
though all Financial Data will be collected by our third-party business partners. Information
communicated over the Internet will remain unmodified and safe if SSL is enabled on both the
client and the server. Use an SSL-enabled browser if you want SSL security to function. Version
3.x and later Netscape and Explorer browsers generally support SSL. Feel free to call us to place
your order if you have any remaining reservations about ordering online. Please be aware that
sending credit card information by email is not secure because it is not encrypted. We will
never ask for sensitive information via email.

concerns, you can email 1CFS at Info@1stcfs.org or write to the 1CFS at the following

not share your Personal Information with those third parties, except as stated above, and we
are not liable for their privacy practices. You should review the privacy policies on any such
third-party websites, as we advise.

result, 1CFS does not purposefully collect or obtain Personal Data from children under the age
