Your Privacy Matters to Us
Protecting Your Information and Your Trust
At Afghan Christians, a ministry of Christ Community Church, we respect your privacy and understand the importance of protecting your personal information. We recognize that faith is deeply personal and that privacy is especially important for members of Afghan Christian communities.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to protect it when you visit our website or interact with our ministries.
Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact us, submit a prayer request, register for an event, express interest in church membership, or participate in our ministries.
This information may include your name, email address, phone number, registration details, and messages you choose to share.
Our website may also collect basic technical information, such as your browser type, IP address, and website activity, through cookies and related technologies.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to inquiries, communicate about church activities, manage event registrations, process donations, and provide spiritual support when requested.
We may also use this information to improve our website and ministry services.
We do not sell your personal information or use it for unrelated commercial marketing.
Payments and Donations
When you register for a paid event or make a donation, your payment is processed through a third-party payment provider, such as Stripe.
We receive the information necessary to confirm transactions, maintain financial records, and provide payment confirmations. Complete payment card details are handled by the payment provider rather than stored directly on our website.
Confidentiality and Information Sharing
We understand that sharing personal information about Christian faith, prayer requests, or church participation can be sensitive.
We limit access to personal information to authorized individuals who need it for legitimate church or administrative purposes. We may share necessary information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website, manage communications, or process payments.
We do not publicly disclose personal testimonies, photographs, or identifying information without appropriate permission, unless disclosure is required by law.
Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand visitor activity, and improve the user experience.
Some third-party services may process technical information according to their own privacy policies. You can manage certain cookies through your browser settings and available website privacy controls.
Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or meet applicable legal and administrative requirements.
Although we work to protect your information, no internet-based system guarantees complete security.
Your Privacy Choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have shared with us, subject to applicable legal requirements.
When registering children for church events, parents or legal guardians should provide the necessary information on their behalf.
We encourage everyone to share only the personal information they feel comfortable providing.
Updates and Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, ministry activities, or legal requirements. Any updates will be published on this page.
If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please contact us through our website.
