You have the right to opt out of having your image used. To do so, please request and submit an Opt-Out Form from the Membership Office or Welcome Desk. If you do not opt out, your presence in the facility constitutes consent for inclusion in JCC Rockland media.

Posting of Marketing Materials

Flyers, posters, business cards, or any promotional materials may not be displayed, distributed, or posted anywhere in the building (including walls, doors, bulletin boards, or common areas) without prior approval from JCC Rockland management.

Videotaping & Security Cameras

To respect the privacy of our community, videotaping or recording within JCC Rockland facilities is not permitted unless pre-approved by management. Any approved recording must avoid capturing other members without their consent.

For the safety and security of all who visit the J, JCC Rockland utilizes security cameras throughout the facility. These cameras are in place solely to help maintain a secure environment and are monitored in accordance with JCC Rockland’s safety protocols.
