Privacy Policy

1. Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026

New Beginnings Global Methodist Church ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at newbeginnings-gmc.org and the Connect With My Church app (together, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When you fill out a form, register for an event, sign up for communications, create an account in our app, or give online, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and prayer requests or messages you choose to send us.

Giving information. Online donations are processed by Connect With My Church. Payment card details are handled directly by that processor; we do not store full card numbers on our systems. We may retain a record of your gift for receipting and accounting purposes.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website or use our app, we may automatically collect your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Services and understand how they are used.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve the Services, respond to your inquiries and prayer requests, process and receipt your donations, send you updates and communications you have requested, maintain the security of the Services, and comply with our legal and accounting obligations.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who perform functions on our behalf (such as our website host, app platform, email provider, and giving processor), and only as needed for them to perform those functions. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the church, our members, or others.

Third-Party Links

Our Services may link to websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may unsubscribe from our communications at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us. Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is not yet a common standard for these signals, our Services do not currently respond to them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version here with an updated Effective Date.
