This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (pccfoley.com) and use our online services (collectively, the “Services”).
**1. Information We Collect**
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Services includes:

We do not collect or store this sensitive information on our servers. We do, however, receive a record of the donation, including your name and the donation amount, for our financial records.
* **Derivative Data:** Our servers automatically collect information when you access the Services, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you have viewed. This is used for analytics to improve our website and services.
**2. How We Use Your Information**
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
* To respond to your inquiries, prayer requests, and other communications.
* To send you newsletters, event updates, and other information about our church, provided you have opted-in to receive such communications.
* To operate and maintain our website and online streaming platform.
* To process your donations and maintain records of giving.
* To analyze website usage to understand trends and improve user experience.
**3. Disclosure of Your Information**
We are committed to being good stewards of your information. We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing, email delivery, and website analytics. These vendors are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they are providing to us.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
**4. Data Security**
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
