What Information Do We Collect?
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when expressing an interest in obtaining information about us, registering for events, donating, participating in activities, or otherwise contacting us.
The personal information we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us, but generally falls into these categories:
Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number (when provided for communication or registration).
Donation Data: Payment details (e.g., credit card numbers, which are securely handled by our payment processor, PayPal or similar services, and are not stored by us), donation amounts, and giving history.
Login Data: Usernames and passwords (when you register an account), password hints, and similar security information.
Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data):
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country location, and information about how and when you use our Services. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
How Do We Use Your Information?
We use the information we collect about you or that you provide to us for various purposes, including:
To Provide Services and Ministry: To fulfill the purpose for which you provided the information, such as processing donations, registering you for an event, or managing your member account/subscription.
To Send Administrative Communications: To send you product/service-related announcements, welcome emails, confirmation of registration, and notices about your account or subscription, including expiration and renewal reminders.
To Fulfill Legal and Contractual Obligations: To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection related to your donations.
To Improve Our Services: To estimate our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, customize our Services according to your individual interests, and improve the overall user experience.
Location Services: We use location information to understand the geographical extent of our reach and services.
Will Your Information Be Shared With Anyone?
We only share information in the following limited circumstances:
With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any purpose with your explicit consent.
Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
Protection of Rights: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation.
Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your data with trusted third parties who perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing (e.g., PayPal), data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, and marketing assistance. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than providing services to us.
Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our ministry to another organization.
How Do We Handle Your Social Logins?
If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account (e.g., Facebook, Google), we may have access to certain profile information about you from your social media provider. We will use this information only for the purposes described in this policy, primarily to facilitate your access to the Services.
What Is Our Stance on Third-Party Websites?
Our Services may contain advertisements or links to other websites, online services, or mobile applications. These third parties are not affiliated with us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties. We encourage you to review the policies of those third parties directly.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business or ministry need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
