What personal data we collect and why we collect it.
1. Forms
On our website, we have forms that allow you to submit content such as recommended resources, event posts, and ministry listings. These forms help us collect the best information and resources available. Your form is not stored in the website database, but is forwarded to the email account of the person that will best help you. Your information is never sold or distributed.
When you subscribe to our newsletters we collect only your email address so that we can correspond with you. Your email address is stored in our website database, and is placed in our Mailchimp database (the application we use to send our newsletters and campaigns) for our mass emails we distribute to people who have opted in. You can always request that we remove your email from these lists, or “unsubscribe” from the bottom of the email itself.
2. Google Analytics
