Please be aware that, if you do not allow us to collect and use your Personal Information, you may not be able to participate in our Programs, ministries, and other offerings.

USER-GENERATED CONTENT

Our Online Services and Social Media Pages may allow users to post messages and submit their own content (e.g., stories, comments, blogs, postings, etc.), which may include Personal Information.

PRIVACY OF CHILDREN ONLINE

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information online from children under the age of 13 without parental or guardian consent. Please contact us via the Contact Information provided below if you believe we may have collected such information without parental or guardian consent or other than in a manner authorized by law, and we will work to delete it.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We seek to keep your Personal Information secure and implement reasonable safeguards to help us protect such information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. However, no method of electronically transmitting or storing data is ever completely secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will never be accessed, used, or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

EMAIL SECURITY

"Phishing" is a scam designed to steal your Personal Information. If you receive an e-mail, text, or any other communication that looks like it is from us asking you for your Personal Information, it may be a scam; please notify us via the Contact Information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy if you ever feel like this may be the case.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of any Linked Sites, even if you link to them from our Online Services or communications. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Linked Sites. We have no control over the collection or use of Information, including Personal Information, on any Linked Site. We encourage you to read and understand the privacy policies of any Linked Sites that you visit.

If you are visiting our Online Services or Social Media Pages from outside of the United States or otherwise contacting or visiting us from outside of the United States, please be aware that your Personal Information is transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States, where our servers are located and our central database is operated.
