DMCA NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN

As required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Section 512(c)(2), if you believe that any material on the Site infringes your copyright, you must send a notice of claimed infringement to JQAS’s Designated Agent at the following address:
Email: john.gay@jqas.org

Written Notice: To be effective, Section 512(c)(3)(A) of Title 17 of the United States Code requires that your notification of claimed infringement be a written communication provided to JQAS and that it include each of the following elements:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Information to contact you, including your name, address, telephone number and, if available, your email address.
• A description of each work claimed to have been infringed, including any relevant information about the infringing activity.
• A description of the infringing activity or of the work that is claimed to be infringing and information about the location on the Site (or, if the infringing information is located on another website linked to through the Site, information about the location of the link or reference on the Site) where the alleged infringement is occurring that is reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the infringing material.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, under the penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice of claimed infringement is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

JQAS does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on the Site, and JQAS will remove the infringing content if properly notified of infringement. As stated above, JQAS reserves the right to remove any and all content and user submissions without prior notice.

Counter-Notice: If you believe that your submitted content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright owner or the copyright owner’s agent, or that it is pursuant to the law to post and use the content in your submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to JQAS’s Designated Agent:

• A physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Arlington, Virginia, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at JQAS’s sole discretion.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

The Site may contain hyperlinks to websites operated by other parties. You agree not to hold JQAS responsible for the content or operation of any and all such third party websites. A hyperlink from the Site to another website, or from another website to the Site, does not imply or mean that JQAS endorses the content on that website or the operator or operations of that site. You are solely responsible for determining the extent to which you may or should use any content located at any other websites to which you might link from the Site. Additionally, any link to a third-party site submitted or posted by you must not in any way represent that you have received the endorsement, sponsorship or support of JQAS or JQAS’s respective employees, agents, or directors.

TERMINATION

JQAS or you may terminate this agreement at any time. You may terminate this agreement by destroying: (a) all materials obtained from all the Site and (b) all related documentation and all copies and installations.

JQAS may, in JQAS’s sole discretion, modify, or revise the Privacy Statement and these Terms at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions.

Privacy Statement

The John Quincy Adams Society (“JQAS”) recognizes that visitors to our website (the “Site”) should know how we collect, use, and maintain information we collect or may collect about them. JQAS is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of the Site and people who communicate with us. This Privacy Statement seeks to help you better understand (a) how we collect and use your information; (b) how we share and protect your information; (c) your choices regarding our use of such information; and (d) your ability to access and correct your information.

This Privacy Statement applies when you visit the Site or share your personally identifiable information with us, as discussed below. By using the Site, you accept this Privacy Statement and the Terms of Use, both of which may be updated by us at any time. If you do not agree to this Privacy Statement for any reason, please do not use the Site or share your personally identifiable information with us as discussed below. Please note that this Privacy Statement applies only to the Site and not to any other website linked to ours or other web-based resources linked therefrom. We do not control the privacy policies or practices of others. We encourage you to ask questions and read the privacy policies of other websites before you disclose any personal information to them. Please note that this Privacy Statement may change from time to time.

A NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN

We encourage everyone to visit the Site and learn about JQAS. Children, however, are not eligible to register to use the services of JQAS, and we ask that minors not submit any personal information to us. If you are a minor, you may use this service only in conjunction with a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians should become knowledgeable about software and other tools so they can assure that children’s use of the Internet reflects parental preferences and requirements.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing your information (whether collected online or offline) with our affiliates for their marketing purposes, if the affiliates are separate legal entities. Please tell us your preference by contacting us as indicated in the “Complaints or Questions” section of this Privacy Statement.

SECURITY

Although the Site has certain security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information you provide, no email or web transmission is completely secure against interception or incorrect routing. Thus, there is always the risk that unauthorized persons may access or use your personally identifiable information. If you are worried because your communication is very sensitive, do not send it electronically. Please consider this prior to submitting any information to us via the Site. You use the Site and send us such information at your own risk.

Although we take reasonable measure to protect your privacy on the Site, we need your help. You have control over your own privacy. Think carefully before providing any personal or financial information online. If you desire to remain anonymous when you write to us or send us submissions you should not tell us your name, the names of other users, or of your friends. To fully protect your privacy, you should try to exclude any information that you think may identify you or others.

Remember that we cannot protect your privacy once you leave the Site, such as by hyperlink. We do not control the privacy policies of other websites. So when you visit other websites, check each site’s privacy policy, and be careful about the information you submit or share. In addition, you should only forward our email messages or other website information to others through the buttons or links provided within the email or the Site. When you use your email system’s forwarding capabilities, others may be able to take actions in your name and/or access your personal information.

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

JQAS collects both personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information from you in a number of ways. Personally identifiable information is generally information that identifies you, such as your name, telephone number, postal address, email address, and birth date. Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not personally identify you, including anonymous information and aggregate data. JQAS uses this information to understand better how visitors use the Site, research our visitors’ demographics, interests, and behavior, provide visitors with customized services and information, improve our promotional and outreach efforts, and for other similar purposes.

I. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
There are certain actions and areas of the Site that require you to provide personal information, which may include: (a) requesting educational materials; (b) joining the Site or creating a user account; and (c) submitting a comment.

The personal information we collect may consist or include, but is not limited to, requesting your name, address, phone number, mobile phone number, email address, username, and birth date. By submitting personal information to us, you agree that we may use the information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. We will update this Privacy Statement as we deem necessary. You should be sure to reread this policy in its entirety from time to time.

If you do submit information to us, we will use that information for the purposes for which it was submitted. In order for us to convey educational information to you, we may require a user to provide a name, address, phone number, mobile phone number, email address, username, and birth date. Information collected may be used for the promotion of our educational activities.

We may also use your information in other ways, such as to contact you about other activities or as otherwise disclosed to you at the point of collection, and we may share or transfer your information with our affiliates and any other organizations or entities for similar purposes. Additionally, to the extent required by applicable federal or state law, we will provide this information to others. We may share personally and non-personally identifiable information with third parties that help manage the Site and databases, as well as with our affiliates or other third parties.

By submitting this information to us, you give us permission to receive it, review it, edit it, store it, post it on the Site, and use it in appropriate settings designed to advance the educational mission of JQAS. To protect your privacy, we strongly urge you to not include any identifying information in your submissions.

You should be aware that we use third-party vendors to provide services on the Site and in our offline business operations. The information that you submit on the Site may be provided to those vendors on a confidential basis so that those vendors can provide services (such as maintaining our databases, sending email messages to our visitors, or otherwise facilitating our educational activities) on our behalf.

We also reserve the right to share personal information you provide with legal authorities if it is, in our sole opinion, necessary to investigate, prevent, or otherwise take action regarding suspected fraud, situations involving threats or potential harm, or if otherwise required by law (such as by a subpoena, court order, or other legal means).

II. NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
JQAS gathers certain broad information about the use of the Site, including the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit, and the programs and services preferred. We look at the data in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. We gather this information so we can learn how many people visit the Site, see which pages are the most and least viewed, identify which websites are referring visitors to the Site, and related information. The data helps us determine the extent to which visitors use certain parts of the Site. Thus, we use this information to help us in restructuring the Site to better meet the needs of our users.

In connection with these activities, we may use some of the below mentioned tools.

COOKIES

We use cookies to track usage and to enhance the efficiency of user interaction with the Site, gain insight into and customize your use of the Site, and help maintain the Site’s proper operation. Cookies are small files placed on the hard drive of your computer; each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser preferences allow it. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.) You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although that may prevent you from using certain features on the Site. Please note that several companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously.

Generally, we will not allow third parties to place any cookies, web beacons, or other similar devices on the Site. JQAS may allow third parties to place cookies on the Site, such as the below-referenced Google Analytics, in order to improve services JQAS provides to advance our educational mission. We do not control devices that may be placed on the Site by third parties. JQAS is not responsible for any other websites accessible from or linked to this website, including their privacy policies or information collection practices.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

JQAS uses Google Analytics, a service that uses cookies and tracking code to analyze how visitors use the Site. The information collected (including your browser and operating system, IP address, pages visited on our website, and time spent here) is transmitted to and stored by Google. Google uses this information to evaluate visitors’ use of the Site in an aggregate manner. Google compiles reports on website activity and provides other related services. Google may transfer this information to third parties that process information on its behalf or as required by law.

JQAS’s use of Google Analytics may include:
• Google’s Display Advertising (e.g., Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, or Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting). Using the Google Ads settings, you can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads.
• Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online, which means third-party vendors, including Google, may show JQAS’s ads on sites across the Internet. JQAS and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Site.
• Google Display Network Impression Reporting or the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, which means JQAS and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to report how JQAS’s ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to the Site.
• Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, which means that JQAS may use, to the extent permitted by applicable law, data from Google’s interest-based advertising or third-party audience data (such as age, gender, and interests) through Google Analytics.

IP ADDRESSES

We collect and analyze traffic on the Site by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. An IP address is the unique numeric identifier assigned to each computer browser accessing the internet. An IP address, by itself, cannot identify you personally. When combined with other information provided by your Internet Service Provider, however, your IP address can be used to identify the computer originating a message.
