We may share limited data with service providers (e.g., hosting, email, SMS) to operate our ministry. We require them to protect your data and use it only to provide contracted services. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights, safety, or our congregation.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No system is 100% secure. We retain data only as long as necessary for ministry purposes, legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
