This policy explains how Igreja Assembléia de Deus em NY ("the church", "we") handles the information you send us through this website and through our text message (SMS) program.
Information we collect
Text message sign-up. When you sign up to receive our messages, we collect your mobile number, the language you used, the date and time of your consent and the text you agreed to.
Prayer requests and contact messages. When you send a prayer request or a message, we collect what you write and, if you choose to provide them, your name and a way to reply to you.
Technical information. Our servers process your IP address to keep the site secure and to prevent abuse of the forms. We store a cookie with the language you chose, so the site opens in your language. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
How we use the information
We use your mobile number only to send the messages you asked for: church news, service times and event reminders. We use prayer requests and contact messages only to pray for you and to reply to you.
Text messages
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can stop at any time by replying STOP to any message or through the unsubscribe page of this website. Reply HELP for help.
Sharing of information
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties. Our messaging provider and the mobile carriers handle your number only to deliver our messages.
The site is hosted by a service provider that processes the data on our behalf. The map on the contact page is provided by Google and follows Google's privacy policy.
How we protect the information
Mobile numbers, prayer requests and contact messages are stored encrypted, and only authorized members of the church team can read them.
How long we keep it
We keep your mobile number while you are signed up. When you unsubscribe, we keep a record of your request so that we do not message you again. The church team deletes prayer requests and contact messages when they are no longer needed.
Your choices
You can stop the text messages at any time. You can also ask us to correct or delete the information we hold about you by contacting the church.
Children
Our text message program is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
