This policy explains the kinds of information The Way of Christ Fellowship may collect through the website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to visitors.
We may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, questions, messages, newsletter preferences, event or fellowship interest, and information necessary to process a donation when secure giving is enabled.
Production website services may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, referral source, and approximate location derived from network information. The final policy will identify the specific analytics and hosting services actually used.
Visitors who subscribe may receive teachings, videos, questions, book updates, and fellowship news. Each production email should provide an appropriate way to unsubscribe or change preferences.
When online giving is enabled, payment information should be handled by the selected secure payment or donation provider. The Way of Christ Fellowship should not store full payment-card information on the website.
If an AI-assisted question feature is added, the site will explain what information is sent to the service, how prompts may be retained, and how approved ministry content is used to generate responses. Visitors should not submit confidential or highly sensitive personal information to such a feature.
The production site may use cookies or similar technologies needed for site operation, preferences, security, analytics, or embedded media. The final implementation should provide any notices or controls required by applicable law.
Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the website, deliver email, process donations, host media, prevent spam, or provide other ministry infrastructure. Information should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for those services.
The Way of Christ Fellowship does not plan to sell personal information for monetary consideration or build an advertising business around visitor data.
Reasonable safeguards should be used to protect information, but no website can guarantee absolute security. Information should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for ministry, legal, accounting, security, or operational purposes.
The public website is intended for a general Christian audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent.
Visitors may use the contact page to ask about ministry communications, personal information they have submitted, or privacy concerns. Applicable law may provide additional rights depending on where a visitor lives.
This policy may be updated as the website and ministry systems develop. The effective date should be revised when material changes are made.
