REVISED 4.23.24

Global Church Partnerships (GCP) is committed to the responsible use of information we collect. We respect your right to keep your personal information confidential and understand your desire to avoid unwanted solicitations. We hope that by taking a few minutes to read this privacy policy, you will have a better understanding of what we do with the information that is collected and the steps we take to keep it private and secure.

A. TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1. Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically. GCP collects limited, nonpersonal information that your browser makes available when visiting websites. This information may include your IP address, your browser type, access times, cookie information (described below), referring or exit website address, internet service provider, date/time stamp, operating system, device, geographic locale, language preferences and system configuration information.

We use non-personally identifiable information while you are browsing the GCP site to improve your individual experience and provide you with a more personalized experience in subsequent visits. We also aggregate non-personally identifiable information from many users into statistical reports on website traffic to better administer our website and improve its effectiveness, diagnose server issues, and improve the user experience.

  • Cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We may assign your computer one or more cookies for the purpose of facilitating access to our website and to personalize your online experience. Through the use of a cookie, we also may automatically collect information about your use of our site, such as the web pages you visit, the links you click, and the searches you conduct on our site. If you desire to remove such technologies you may do so by disabling these features in your browser program, but this may render our websites unusable to you. Consult your browser’s Help Menu for assistance in changing cookie settings or removing cookie files.

2. Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide. In addition to the web analytical information collected when you visit the GCP website, GCP also collects and uses personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you fill out a form on our website, sign-up for an event or mailing list, request information, apply for products or services, etc. By completing any of these forms, you are agreeing that we can use the information for the purposes of the form and for follow up communication. If you do not wish to provide your contact information or other private information online, you may contact GCP and request that information be sent through the mail.

B. PARTIES TO WHOM WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION

We will not sell, trade or transfer your personally-identifiable information to third parties, except in accordance with this policy. However, GCP may use or disclose personal information for the following purposes:

  • If required by law. For example, to comply with a validly issued and enforceable subpoena or summons.
  • When necessary for any legitimate interests of GCP, except where your interests or fundamental rights override those legitimate interests.
  • When necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another individual.
  • To provide information to affiliates of GCP and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services to you, but only if we have an agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
  • To employees of GCP and other parties who must use that information to provide services to you. Their right to further disclose and use the information is limited by this policy, applicable law, and nondisclosure agreements where appropriate.
  • To communicate information that GCP thinks may be of interest to you.
  • Any other purpose when you provide consent to the processing of your personal data.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information WILL NOT be provided to any other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

C. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY OF NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations to guard your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or premature destruction. However, as effective as any security measures implemented by GCP may be, no security system is impenetrable. GCP cannot guarantee the absolute security of its database environment, nor can it guarantee that the information you provide will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet.

D. GDPR PRIVACY RIGHTS

This notice provides certain information to persons located in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EAA) and is intended to satisfy requirements in Regulation 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR). GCP may be a data “controller” or “processor” with regard to certain activities as defined under the GDPR. If you are an individual located in the EU, you may have additional rights available to you, including:

  • You have the right to request access to your personal information, and the rectification of inaccurate personal information concerning you.
  • You have the right to obtain the deletion or the restriction of processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, including when the information is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, except when we are required by law to maintain or otherwise process your personal information, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights or another person.
  • In certain circumstances, you may have the right to be provided with your personal information in a structured, machine readable and commonly used format and to request that we transfer the personal information to another data controller without hindrance.
  • Where our processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
