We may receive transaction information such as your name, contact information, donation or payment amount, date, and transaction status for church recordkeeping purposes.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website operate properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website, improve website performance, and provide certain website features.

A cookie is a small data file that a website may place on your computer, tablet, or mobile device.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly. Other cookies may be provided by third-party services used on our website, such as website analytics, embedded media, maps, social media features, or other website tools.

You can control or disable many cookies through your web browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may cause some portions of our website to function differently or prevent certain features from working properly.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

7. Third-Party Services

These may include:

• Website hosting and maintenance providers
• Email and communication services
• Church management or registration systems
• Online giving and payment processors
• Website analytics services
• Video or livestreaming services
• Maps and location services
• Social media platforms

These providers may receive information necessary to perform services on our behalf. Their collection and use of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services when you interact directly with them.

8. Sharing of Personal Information

LifeSpring Church does not sell personal information.

We may share personal information when reasonably necessary with:

• Church staff, leaders, volunteers, or ministry personnel who have a legitimate need for the information
• Service providers that perform functions on our behalf
• Payment processors and other providers necessary to complete a transaction or requested service
• Government agencies, law enforcement, courts, or other parties when disclosure is required by law or legal process
• Appropriate parties when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of LifeSpring Church or others

We seek to limit access to personal information to those who have a legitimate reason to use it.

9. Children's Privacy

LifeSpring Church provides ministries and activities for children and families. However, our general church website is intended primarily to provide information to adults and families and is not intended to solicit personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.

Children under 13 should not submit personal information through our website without the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

When information about a child is needed for a church program, ministry, event, or activity, we generally seek to obtain that information from the child's parent or legal guardian.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us through our website without your knowledge or permission, please contact LifeSpring Church. We will review the matter and take appropriate steps regarding the information.

10. Prayer Requests and Sensitive Information

Our website may provide a way to submit prayer requests or other personal communications to LifeSpring Church.

Please use discretion when submitting sensitive, confidential, medical, financial, or other highly personal information through an online form.

If a prayer request may be shared with a church prayer team, congregation, or other group, we encourage you to review any choices provided on the form regarding how the request may be shared.

We will make reasonable efforts to honor the privacy preferences communicated to us.

11. Security of Your Information

LifeSpring Church takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

Access to personal information is generally limited to individuals and service providers who have a legitimate need to access it.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored through our website.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, maintain appropriate church and financial records, meet administrative needs, resolve disputes, protect our legal interests, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, destroy, or anonymize it in accordance with our normal recordkeeping practices.

13. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organizations or companies.

LifeSpring Church does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. When you leave our website, we encourage you to review the privacy policy of the website you are visiting.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may contact us to:

• Ask questions about the personal information you have provided to us
• Request that inaccurate information be corrected
• Request deletion of certain information when appropriate
• Unsubscribe from general church email communications
• Ask questions about how your information is being used

Some information may need to be retained for legitimate church, financial, administrative, security, or legal purposes even after a request for deletion.

You may also manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings and, when available, through cookie preference controls provided on our website.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

LifeSpring Church may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technology, ministry practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, the revised policy will be posted on this website and the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy will be changed.
