1. Introduction

​

Bedrock of God’s Word Ministries (“BRM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information when you visit our website, contact us, register for events, submit prayer requests, or give online.

​

​

2. Information We Collect

​

Depending on how you use our website, we may collect:

• Contact information: Your name, email address, telephone number, and any other details you provide.

• Messages and prayer requests: Information you submit through contact forms, testimonies, or prayer request forms.

• Event information: Details needed to process registrations and communicate with attendees.

• Donation information: Donation amounts, dates, contact details, and transaction references. Payment providers process payment credentials under their own privacy policies.

Please provide only the information needed for your request and avoid submitting another person’s sensitive information without permission.

​

​

3. How We Use Information

​

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and prayer requests.

• Provide ministry support and communicate with you.

• Manage event registrations and attendance.

• Process donations and maintain appropriate records.

• Send church news or updates when you subscribe or otherwise request them.

• Maintain, secure, and improve the website.

• Meet applicable legal and recordkeeping obligations.

Submitting a prayer request or making a donation does not automatically subscribe you to promotional messages.

​

​

4. Prayer Requests and Sensitive Information

​

Prayer requests may contain sensitive personal information. We use this information to respond to your request and provide prayer or pastoral support.

Requests may be shared with designated ministry leaders or prayer team members as needed for that purpose. We will seek your permission before publicly sharing an identifiable prayer request or testimony.

Please do not submit information you would not want the relevant ministry team to receive. Website forms are not intended for emergencies.

​

​

5. How We Share Information

​

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share relevant information with:

• Authorized staff, ministry leaders, or volunteers who need it to carry out their responsibilities.

• Service providers supporting website hosting, forms, communications, event registration, or payment processing.

• Authorities or other parties when required by law, or when reasonably necessary to protect someone’s safety, prevent fraud, or protect legal rights.

• Other recipients when you direct us or give permission.

​

6. Online Giving

​

Online donations may be handled by an external payment provider. Its privacy policy explains how it collects and protects payment information.

Please review the provider’s policy before entering payment details. Do not send payment card numbers or banking credentials through ordinary email or prayer request forms.

​

​

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

​

Our website and embedded services may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functions, remember preferences, measure usage, or display content such as videos.

​

Where required, we will request consent before using nonessential cookies. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functions.

​

​

8. Emails and Other Communications

​

If you subscribe to church updates, you may unsubscribe using the link provided in the message or by contacting us.

We may still send communications needed to respond to your inquiry, confirm a registration, or provide information about a transaction you initiated.

​

​

9. Information Security and Retention

​

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system is completely secure.

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including applicable legal, accounting, and recordkeeping requirements. Retention periods vary by the type of information and why it was collected.

​

​

10. Children’s Privacy

​

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. Parents or guardians should complete forms and registrations on behalf of young children.

​

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information without appropriate parental permission, please contact us so we can review and address it.

​

​

11. Your Privacy Choices

​

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided. You may also withdraw permission for optional communications or future public use of a testimony.

We will respond as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may need to be retained for legal or recordkeeping purposes.

​

​​

12. External Websites

​

Our website may link to other websites or include third-party content. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.
