Pleasureville Christian Church (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and values the trust of our visitors, members, donors, and community. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information when you visit https://pleasurevillechristianchurch.org/ (the “Website”), submit an inquiry or prayer request, use online giving, or communicate with us through the Website.

Additional notices or consent forms may apply to particular church programs, activities, or services.

  1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect information you choose to provide, including:

  • Your name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address.
  • Messages sent through our contact form or by email.
  • Prayer requests, praise reports, sharing preferences, and notification preferences.
  • Information submitted when asking about a visit, ministry, event, or volunteer opportunity.
  • Information needed to coordinate participation in church activities, where requested.
  • Donor contact details and donation records received through our online giving provider.

Prayer requests may contain sensitive information about faith, health, family circumstances, or personal needs. Please share only what is necessary. Avoid including financial account details, identification numbers, medical records, or other information you would not want disclosed.

Information Collected Automatically

Our Website and service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, pages visited, and visit dates and times. Cookies and similar technologies may support Website functionality, security, and usage measurement.

  1. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and provide information about the church.
  • Coordinate visits, events, ministries, and volunteer activities.
  • Receive and respond to prayer requests.
  • Share prayer requests according to the options you select.
  • Send requested prayer notifications or church communications.
  • Process and record donations and provide related acknowledgments.
  • Maintain, secure, and improve the Website.
  • Meet applicable legal, accounting, and administrative requirements.
  1. Prayer Requests and the Public Prayer Wall

Our Website offers a prayer wall powered by Prayer Engine. When you submit a request, please review the available sharing options carefully.

If you select public sharing, your request and any displayed name may be visible to anyone visiting the Website. Public content may also be indexed by search engines, copied, or shared by others.

If you choose an anonymous option, avoid including identifying details in the request itself. Omitting your displayed name does not remove personal details you type into the message.

Requests designated for restricted sharing are handled according to the option selected and may be accessed by church personnel or prayer team members responsible for responding.

Please obtain permission before sharing another person’s identifying or sensitive information. Consider using general wording rather than names, diagnoses, addresses, or other personal details.

To request an update or removal of a prayer request, contact us using the details below. Removal from our Website may not remove copies held by search engines or other parties.

Prayer submissions are not an emergency reporting service. For urgent assistance, use the appropriate emergency services.

  1. Online Giving

Online giving is provided through Vanco. Information you enter into its giving platform is processed by Vanco and its payment service providers under their applicable privacy policies and terms.

Depending on the donation method, the provider may collect donor contact information, payment details, donation amounts, fund selections, and recurring giving instructions.

The church may receive donor information and transaction records needed to acknowledge gifts, maintain accounting records, and administer giving. Please do not send payment card or bank account details through our general contact or prayer forms.

  1. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information:

  • To church staff and authorized volunteers who need it to respond to requests or coordinate activities.
  • To service providers supporting hosting, maintenance, communications, prayer request features, online giving, and Website security.
  • Publicly when you choose to publish a prayer request or otherwise authorize publication.
  • With your permission when needed to connect you with a requested service or resource.
  • When required or permitted by law, or when reasonably necessary to address fraud, security incidents, or threats to safety.

Information designated for restricted sharing should not be treated as public prayer wall content.

  1. Cookies and Third-Party Features

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, and Website measurement. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the Website’s cookie controls. Disabling cookies may affect certain features.

The Website includes third-party services such as Vanco, Prayer Engine, and Google Maps. These providers may receive technical information when their features load or when you interact with them. Their own privacy policies may also apply.

Google Tag Manager is used to manage Website tags. The information processed through those tags depends on the services enabled on the Website.

  1. Church Communications

We may contact you to respond to a message, provide requested information, send prayer notifications you select, or coordinate activities in which you participate.

You may ask us to update your communication preferences or stop optional communications by contacting us. Where provided, you may also use an unsubscribe link. Necessary communications relating to an active request, registration, or donation may continue.

  1. Children’s Information

Although the church offers children’s ministries, the Website’s inquiry and submission features are intended for use by adults, including parents and guardians.

Parents or guardians should provide information needed for a child’s participation through the appropriate registration process. Please avoid posting a child’s full name, contact details, health information, or other sensitive information on the public prayer wall.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate parental involvement, contact us so we can review and address the matter. Separate program notices or consent forms may govern information collected for children’s activities.

  1. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to requests, coordinating activities, maintaining donation records, and meeting applicable requirements.

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no website or electronic transmission method is completely secure.

  1. Your Choices and Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided, update communication preferences, or request removal of a prayer wall submission.

We will consider requests in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, or other lawful purposes.

  1. External Links

The Website may link to external websites or social media platforms. Their information practices are governed by their own privacy policies. Please review those policies before providing personal information.

  1. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable requirements. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date and provide additional notice where required.
