Privacy Policy

If you use our contact form, we collect your first and last name, phone number, email address (if you provide it), the topic you choose, and your message. We use this only to read and respond to your message. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you ask us to.

We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service, to count visits and see which pages are most useful. Umami does not use cookies and does not build profiles of individual visitors. It records general information such as the page visited, the site that referred you, your browser and device type, and your approximate country. We look only at combined totals, not at individual visitors.

Some pages show content provided by other companies. To display it, your browser connects directly to that company, which receives technical information such as your IP address, and its own privacy policy applies:

• YouTube (Google): sermons, songs and livestreams from our YouTube channel. If you play a video, YouTube may set its own cookies. Google Privacy Policy
• Instagram (Meta): posts from our Instagram account on the home and youth pages, loaded when you scroll to them. Instagram may set its own cookies. Instagram Privacy Policy
• Google Maps: the map on our contact page.
• Google Calendar: our choir schedules are loaded from a Google Calendar.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising. A few service providers handle information on our behalf so the website can work:

• Netlify hosts the website and stores contact form messages. Like most web hosts, it keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses.
• Umami provides the visit counts described above.
• Google (YouTube, Maps and Calendar) and Meta (Instagram) provide the content described above.
• Subsplash provides the online giving form on our Give page, and Stripe processes card payments for it. Your payment details go directly to them; we do not receive or store your card number. Their own privacy policies apply to what you enter there.
• PayPal processes donations made through our PayPal donation link, under PayPal’s own privacy policy.

Our mobile app is provided by Subsplash and is covered by its own privacy policy, shown in the App Store and Google Play listings. We may also share information if required by law.

Our website sets one cookie of its own, NEXT_LOCALE, which remembers whether you chose English or Ukrainian. It contains only that choice, lasts up to one year, and is not used for tracking or advertising. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

On our Give page, the embedded giving form from Subsplash and Stripe may set cookies and use its own tools for security, fraud prevention, and performance. YouTube and Instagram may set their own cookies, as described in section 3.

Our website is meant for adults and families. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 through the contact form. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

You can ask us what information we have from you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your contact form messages. Send your request through our contact form, call us at (916) 961-2766, or write to us at the address below. We will respond within a reasonable time.

If we change how the website handles information, we will update this page and its effective date.
