About This Privacy Policy 

Your privacy is important to us, so we’ve developed this Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information. We may collect personal information when you use our website(s), mobile apps, and other online and offline platforms, services and experiences (collectively, the “Services”).

Please take a moment to read through this Policy in its entirety.  If you have any questions, concerns or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how we use  your personal information, please contact us via e-mail at privacy@trinitycovenantchurch.org

What Personal Information Do We Collect and How We Collect It? 

We only collect personal information that you provide directly to us, such as your contact information or information needed by our online giving platform.  

Payment information: 

In using our online giving platform, you will need to provide us with payment information (like your bank account or credit card information). Please note that your financial information is collected and stored by a third party payment processing company. Use and storage of that information is governed by the third party payment processor’s applicable  privacy policy, available here.  . 

How Do We Use Your Personal Information? 

We use the personal information we collect for the following reasons: 

  • To send you our newsletter, or other information or reminders about our Services that we  think may be of interest to you. 
  • To reply to your questions, inquiries, or visitor service requests or to send you notices,  updates, security alerts, or support and administrative messages. 
  • To provide you with information about the Services that you request from us or which we  feel may interest you. 
  • To monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with our Services and to improve the Services. 
  • To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities on  the Services and to protect our rights and property, and those of our members and  visitors. 
  • To process any payments or other transactions you make to us, including those on our  online giving platform. 
    Information that may be needed from time to time if you register for a class or event or choose to participate in one or more surveys or questionnaires, to provide us with feedback or use other features of  the Services.
  • To meet any other obligations we may have with regards to your information under any  applicable local, state, or Federal laws. 

How Do We Share Your Personal Information? 

We may share your personal information in the following ways: 

  • With vendors, consultants, and other service providers who process your personal  information on our behalf when they provide services to us such as data analytics,  research, marketing or financial services.  
  • We may also be legally required to disclose or share your personal information without your consent in some circumstances, for example to comply with a court order or law enforcement. In such  circumstances, we will only disclose your personal data if we have a good-faith belief that such sharing is required under applicable legal obligations. 

Your Messaging Choices 

When you subscribe to our newsletter or other informational messages, we use your personal  information to help us decide which Services may be of interest to you.  You may unsubscribe from informational and reminder messages through a link we include on  messages we send you. You can also ask us to stop sending you messages at any time by  contacting us at: privacy@trinitycovenantchurch.org

Retention of Your Data and Deletion 

Your personal information will not be kept longer than is necessary for the specific purpose for  which it was collected.  When we decide how long we will keep your information we consider the amount, nature, and  sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, why we need it, and any relevant legal requirements (such as legal retention and  destruction periods).  The foregoing will, however, not prevent us from retaining any personal information if it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, in order to file a legal claim or defend ourselves  against a legal claim, or for evidential purposes. 

Changes to This Privacy Policy 

From time to time, we have the right to modify this Privacy Policy. We’re likely to update this  Privacy Policy in the future when we make changes. Please come back and check this page from  time to time for the latest information on our privacy practices.
