Weatec WMRC Privacy Policy
The WMRC members are committed to maintaining privacy for our Weatec users. We will review information about your internet usage and websites visited. This activity will remain anonymous to the initial person reviewing the logs. WMRC members will not have access to information such as personal passwords and banking information. WMRC members will review all suspected noncompliance to determine if it is true noncompliance or a false positive. Compliant activity (Acceptable use categories within the Weatec Guidelines) is not reviewed by committee members. It is the WMRC members’ responsibility to maintain confidentiality when reviewing all types of information logs. Additionally, all internal conversations, decisions, or documents are to remain confidential.
Terms & Conditions
Having safe access to the internet is a privilege and we ask all users to use this privilege responsibly. A Weatec user agrees to behave in a mature, Christian manner when a situation involving the Weatec system or the Weatec administration arises. Negative reviews and problems within the system will be directed to the proper, responsible committees and if reasonable solutions cannot be reached, the matter will be addressed by the Weaverland Conference.
Ever Accountable is a third party accountability software provider, and is not affiliated with Weatec or Weaverland Conference. Any questions/problems with or involving Ever Accountable or the Weatec System must be addressed to the Weatec Administration. The cost for Ever Accountable is billed through Weatec and is included with the Weatec subscription cost, as explained on page 1 of the registration form. Each Weatec user is responsible for any financial repercussions incurred through their misuse/abuse of either the Weatec or Ever Accountable systems.
The Weatec system is for use by members in good standing of Weaverland Conference and if membership is discontinued, the use of the Weatec system should be terminated within 30 days by contacting Ever Accountable and removing the link to Weatec. The user may keep the Ever Accountable program but Weatec will discontinue accountability monitoring.
Users should understand and agree that Weatec feels it is their responsibility to provide safe and accountable internet use. Extensive testing of the system by the user is potentially dangerous and is unnecessary. Testing will not be an acceptable justification for non-compliant activity. Ongoing non-compliant use will result in church level discipline. Please direct any concerns about loopholes, etc., to your local WMRC person. We ask all users to immediately report any system failures.
