2. Religious and Sensitive Information

Information you provide to a church may reveal religious beliefs, ministry involvement, family circumstances, or other highly personal matters.

Christian Promise Fellowship intends to treat this information with appropriate care and use it primarily for legitimate religious, pastoral, administrative, charitable, safety, and ministry purposes.

Prayer requests and pastoral communications should not be made public without appropriate permission unless disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by law or necessary to address an immediate safety concern.

Unless the context clearly indicates that public sharing is requested, the Church should make reasonable efforts to avoid publicly identifying individuals in sensitive prayer requests without permission.

5. Donations and Payment Providers

Online donations may be processed by third-party payment processors.

These providers may collect financial information directly from the donor and process it under their own privacy and security practices.

Christian Promise Fellowship should receive only the information reasonably necessary to record, acknowledge, administer, and account for donations.

We do not sell donor lists.

We will not provide donor information to commercial marketers for their independent advertising purposes.

Public comments, usernames, profile photographs, reactions, and similar activities may be visible to other members of the public.

Do not submit information publicly that you want to remain private.

9. Children and Youth Privacy

Christian Promise Fellowship takes the privacy of children seriously.

Our general online services are not intended to encourage children under 13 to independently submit personal information.

A child under 13 should not submit personal information through Church websites, social-media pages, forms, chats, or other online services without appropriate involvement and authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

When applicable, Christian Promise Fellowship will use reasonable procedures for obtaining parental or guardian permission before knowingly collecting, using, or publicly disclosing personal information from children.

Information concerning children should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant ministry purpose and retained only as long as reasonably necessary or legally required.

Parents or legal guardians may contact the Church regarding personal information concerning their minor child.

Christian Promise Fellowship will use additional care when publishing identifiable photographs or videos of children.
