Overview

Destiny Ecumenical Fellowship, Inc. (“DEF,” “we,” “us”) respects the privacy of everyone who visits our website. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you complete a contact form, prayer request, photo submission, or online giving form, we collect the details you provide — such as your name, email address, phone number, organization, and message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is used to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

Membership applications. The membership packet collects sensitive information, including date of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license or state ID, and background check authorization. This information is handled separately from the website under the terms of the membership packet and is not collected through this site. 

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiries, prayer requests, and membership questions
• To process and acknowledge donations
• To send fellowship updates, event announcements, and communications you have requested
• To maintain and improve the website

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly and to understand site traffic through [analytics provider, e.g. Google Analytics]. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

Online Giving

Donations are processed through [payment processor]. Payment card details are handled directly by that provider and are never stored on our servers. Please review their privacy policy for details on how they handle your information.

Sharing Your Information

We share information only with service providers who help us operate the site and process donations, and where required by law. As stated in our membership documents, we reserve the right in life-threatening situations to pass information to local authorities.

Data Security & Retention

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, and we retain it only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law. No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Photography & Media

Photographs and video taken at DEF events and services may be used in our publications, including this website, as described in our Photography & Media Release.

You may unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in each message, or contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information.
