When you voluntarily subscribe to the Weekly Watchmen Prayer Alert or another mailing list, your information may be processed and stored through GetResponse.

You may unsubscribe from subscription or promotional emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in those messages.

Unsubscribing from a mailing list does not necessarily prevent us from responding to a separate inquiry you initiated.

When you submit a contact form or request information about Transformational Coaching, we use the information you provide to review your inquiry and communicate with you.

Information shared during ministry or coaching communications will be handled with care and discretion.

However, ordinary website forms and email communications should not be considered guaranteed confidential or secure channels for highly sensitive information.

We may retain relevant communications for administrative purposes, follow-up, or recordkeeping, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Our website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, security, performance, and analytics.

These technologies may collect technical information about your browser, device, or interactions with the website.

Where applicable law requires consent for nonessential cookies, we will provide the necessary consent options.

GetResponse: Website hosting, forms, subscription management, and email communications.

Other technology providers: Website infrastructure, security, analytics, or communications services where applicable.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before submitting information to them.

8. Information Sharing

We do not sell or rent our mailing lists or personal contact information.

We may share information with service providers who assist in operating our website or delivering requested services, only as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of the ministry and others.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Our website and email service providers may also employ technical and organizational security measures.

Nevertheless, no internet transmission, website, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

Email subscription information may remain in our mailing system until you unsubscribe, request deletion, or the information is otherwise no longer needed, subject to applicable retention requirements.
