1. Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information from our Website users:

a. Information You Voluntarily Provide:

This includes any information you provide directly to us through interactions like:

  • Donations/Support Us: If you choose to support our ministry, while we do not directly process or store your financial details, we may collect your name and email address for acknowledgment and communication purposes. Payment processing is handled by secure third-party platforms (e.g., PayPal, local banks).
  • Email Subscriptions (Future): If we implement a newsletter or subscription service, we would collect your email address for that purpose.

4. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
