Privacy Policy

We use the information we collect only for parish and pastoral purposes, including:

• Responding to prayer requests, call requests, and general inquiries
• Providing information about church services, schedules, and events
• Communicating with parishioners and visitors about ministry activities
• Operating and improving the website
• Ensuring the security and integrity of our online services

We do not use your information for targeted advertising. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

We share your information only in limited circumstances:

• With church leadership and clergy — so that they can respond to pastoral requests and care for the community.
• With service providers — such as our web hosting provider (Hostinger), who maintain the infrastructure on which our website runs. These providers are bound by their own privacy and data protection policies.
• When required by law — if we are required to disclose information by applicable law or a valid legal process.

We do not share your personal information with advertisers, marketing companies, or unrelated third parties.

Our website uses or links to the following third-party services. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review:

• Google Calendar API — used to display the church event schedule. Events are fetched server-side; your browser interacts with our server, not directly with Google’s calendar API.
• YouTube — we link to our church YouTube channel for live-stream recordings and online services. If you click a YouTube link, you visit YouTube’s platform, which has its own privacy policy.
• Google Fonts — our website loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may log technical requests from your browser.
• Hostinger — our web hosting provider, located in the European Union, who stores and serves our website files.

We do not use Google Ads, Facebook Ads, tracking pixels, or social-media login on our website.

Our website includes information about ministries that serve children and youth, such as Sunday School and youth programs. If any form on our website collects information about a child under the age of 13, we require that a parent or guardian submit that information on the child’s behalf.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who have concerns about their child’s information may contact us at [email protected].

Our website may use basic session or preference cookies necessary to operate the site. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or behavioral profiling. Third-party services embedded on our site (such as Google Fonts) may set their own cookies according to their own policies.

You can configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies. Doing so should not significantly affect your use of our website.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Form submissions and contact records are kept for a reasonable period to support pastoral follow-up and are not stored indefinitely.

If you would like us to remove your information from our records, please contact us at [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to do so.

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect the information on our website, including encrypted HTTPS connections and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We encourage you not to submit sensitive personal or financial information through general website forms.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to any legal requirements
• Withdraw consent for communications from us at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

California residents: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California “Shine the Light” law, California residents may request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties for direct marketing purposes.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website or services change. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
