St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church (“the Church,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit our website, submit a form, register for an event, subscribe to communications, make a donation, or otherwise interact with us online.
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:
Please do not submit sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information through a general contact form unless the form specifically requests it.
When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:
This information may be collected through website hosting logs, cookies, analytics services, security tools, and other technologies used to operate and improve the website.
We may use collected information to:
Information submitted through website forms may be sent to Church staff, clergy, ministry leaders, event coordinators, or authorized volunteers when reasonably necessary to respond to your request.
If you subscribe to an email list, we may use your information to send Church news, event announcements, ministry information, and related updates. You may unsubscribe by using the unsubscribe option included in an email or by contacting the Church.
Online donations, stewardship payments, event payments, or other transactions may be processed through third-party payment providers. Those providers may collect payment card, bank account, billing, and transaction information under their own privacy policies and terms.
The Church may receive information such as your name, contact information, donation amount, designation, transaction date, and payment status. The Church does not generally receive or store complete payment card numbers when payments are processed by an independent payment provider.
The website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions, security, preferences, analytics, performance measurement, and, where enabled, advertising or outreach measurement.
Analytics or advertising providers may collect information about your activity over time and across different websites or online services. The specific technologies used may change as the website and its service providers are updated.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function. Where a cookie consent tool is provided, you may also use it to manage available preferences.
Because browser-based “Do Not Track” signals are not interpreted consistently across the internet, the website may not respond to every such signal.
We may share information with:
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We do not disclose personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes without appropriate permission.
The website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services, including payment platforms, maps, videos, social media platforms, calendars, event services, and websites connected with Orthodox organizations.
These third parties operate independently and may collect information according to their own privacy policies. The Church is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party services.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including administrative, pastoral, accounting, tax, legal, security, and recordkeeping purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal or organizational requirements.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information. However, no website, email transmission, storage system, or internet connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may contact us to:
Some information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, transaction, or legitimate Church recordkeeping purposes.
The general website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate consent.
When information about a minor is submitted for a Church ministry, youth activity, religious education program, or event, it should be submitted by or with the authorization of a parent or legal guardian.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, Church activities, service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
