This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for https://terrellnazarene.org. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this website. It will notify you of the following:
We only have access to and/or collect personal information that you voluntarily give us via forms you manually fill out on our website, such as our contact form or an event registration form.
We use your personal information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your personal information with any third party outside of our organization unless that third party is employed by us (see the Service Providers section of this Privacy Policy).
The personal information we collect on https://terrellnazarene.org is information that users voluntarily provide to us. There are three reasons you might enter personal information on our website.
When contacting us via our Contact Form (located at https://terrellnazarene.org/contact-us), you submit your name, your email address, and optionally your telephone number or other information via the text entry boxes on the form. The Contact Form gives several options as the “Reason for Contact”, and depending on the option selected and the content of the submitted message, the data submitted will be forwarded to the most appropriate person to handle the request.
Contact Form submissions marked with “Prayer Request” as the “Reason for Contact” are absolutely never shared with anyone outside our pastoral staff, unless there is a legal obligation to share that data, or it is abundantly clear that the “Prayer Request” option was chosen by mistake (such as a “Website Problem” inadvertently sent in as a Prayer Request). In the event of an abundantly clear mistake in that regard, the information will be shared with the most appropriate person to handle that request.
By submitting the Contact Form to us, you are sending your personal information to the United States, where the data will be subject to the protections afforded under the United States, which may be different from the laws in your country and may be considered not sufficient in your country. If you do not agree that your contact with us be governed under the laws of the United States, you will not be able to submit the Contact Form.
From time to time, we may host Event Registration forms on our website. These forms collect personal data such as your Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Physical Address, and other information which may be pertinent to your registration for the Event.
The personal information we collect for the purpose of registering you for an event will only be used for the purpose of fulfilling such a request, and it is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Donations on our website are handled by Tithe.ly (tithe.ly). When you submit a donation through our site, the form you see and fill in is actually hosted by Tithe.ly. Your personal information, including your payment details and personal information, is actually submitted directly to the Tithe.ly service. Use of the donation form requires acceptance of the Tithe.ly privacy policy, which is located here: https://get.tithe.ly/privacy-policy as well as the Tithe.ly Terms of Service, which is located here: https://get.tithe.ly/terms-of-service.
Faith Fellowship Church of the Nazarene may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
To be clear: although your personal information is important to us, there is no clergy privilege for any data sent to/from or collected by our website, and there are legal obligations in the United States which nullify certain aspects of clergy privilege.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit personal information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect personal information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (such as the pastor handling a pastoral contact request from the Contact Form) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this Privacy Policy, you should contact us immediately by referring to the Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.
