What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected?

Persons who become members receive FCNI e-communications using the membership application contact information (name, address, email address, telephone, county, congregation name and address). This information may be used for specific limited purposes related to the organization. Individuals can "opt out" during the application process or at any future time.

Non-members who attend FCNI events have personal information collected upon registration. That information may be used to notify non-members of future FCNI events and membership benefits. This information will be maintained in a contact list.

We use the requests offered to provide specific information and services, and we take seriously each recommendation as to how we might improve communications and the organization.
