PRIVACY POLICY

At Grace Ministry ® we respect, and will do our best to protect, the privacy of anyone who provides us with any personally identifiable information or PII. PII is defined as any information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact or locate a person, such as name, address, contact number(s), and email addresses.

In this privacy policy, we set out the practices we abide by as a ministry to protect your PII. Please read through this privacy policy before you use our website because by using our website, you are automatically agreeing with the points covered here. If you do not agree with them, we would advise you not to use our website.

When do we collect information?

We collect information from you when you register on our site, donate, fill out a form or enter information on our site.

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you register, donate, sign up for our newsletter, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your gift cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services.

SECURITY

To make online giving and shopping at the Grace Ministry website a safe and secure experience, we use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) capable browser. This means that any credit/debit card information you send is encrypted by your computer, and then decrypted again on our server, making it extremely difficult for others to access your private information during transmission.

While we will make reasonable efforts to store any PII which we hold in a secure server or in secure files, and to keep this information accurate and up-to-date, the Internet is not a secure medium for the transmission of information. Grace Ministry cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorized access to or use of that information.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information to or change information on our website are strictly prohibited and may be punishable by law.

VARIATION

Grace Ministry may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to visit our website regularly to stay updated of these changes as your continued use of our website indicates your acceptance of these changes.
