Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 9, 2026

Updated: July 30, 2026

Welcome to our community church website. Your privacy is deeply important to us, and we are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. Our Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the decisions you have regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect Through Our Forms

When you engage with our website, you may choose to provide us with personal information directly. This happens when you sign up for events or contact us using our online forms.

The data we collect may include:

Contact Information: Your full name, email address, phone number, and residential address.

Sensitive Personal Information: Depending on the specific event registration form, you may choose to share sensitive details such as dietary/medical/allergy restrictions, or specific requests for an online waiver form. This information is kept confidential and is only accessible to authorized church leadership organizing the event.

Parental Consent for Minors: Because we host family, youth, and children events, we frequently register children. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children under 13. All data concerning minors must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian.

2. Website Analytics and Tracking Technologies

Our website is built using the Wix platform, an online website builder. We utilize built-in Wix Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve our digital ministry.

Automated Metrics: Through Wix, we automatically collect standard, non-identifying technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type, site sessions, bounce rates, and total visitor counts.

Cookies: Wix uses essential cookies and performance cookies to track these metrics. You can control or block cookies at any time through your individual web browser settings.

Embedded Content from Third-Party Platforms: Our website embeds interactive graphics, presentations, and designs hosted by Canva. When you view pages with this embedded content, Canva may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, and device characteristics. Canva may also utilize cookies or similar tracking technologies to optimize performance and ensure the media displays correctly on your device. This data collection is governed directly by the Canva Privacy Policy and their Canva Cookies Policy.

3. Data Management, Sharing, and Communications

We treat your personal information as a sacred trust. We carefully govern our data management with the following strict rules:

No Commercial Sharing: We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade our church member or visitor contact lists to outside businesses, secular marketing companies, or third parties.

Internal Communications: When you sign up for an event, we may use your contact details to send you important event updates or to follow up with you afterward. We may also retain your email address internally for our records and communications. You may opt out of this storage and communication at any time by contacting us directly.

Data Retention: We do not retain event registration data indefinitely. Once an event concludes and necessary follow-ups are finished, registration sheets and associated sensitive records are securely archived.

4. Photo and Media Release Policy

Our church frequently document our events, worship services, sermons, and gatherings through photography and video recordings.

Crowd Photography and Livestreams: By participating in church events, you understand that your image or voice may be captured in crowd photos or online livestreams used for our website or internal video archive.

Opt-Out and Removal Rights: We highly respect your personal boundaries, especially concerning minors. If you see a photo of yourself or your child on our website or social media platforms that you wish to have removed, please contact us immediately, and we will take it down promptly.

5. Your Rights and Access to Your Data

You have full control over your personal data. At any time, you can contact us to:

Review what personal information we have on file for you.
Request corrections to inaccurate information.
Ask us to completely delete your contact details and form submission history from our systems.

6. Updates to Our Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or website tools. Any updates will be posted directly to this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top. For big changes, we will post a clear notice as banner or light box on our site before the new rules start.
