Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 11, 2026

At ELEVATE FAITH, accessible from our official website, protecting the privacy and personal security of our visitors, donors, and community members is one of our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by ELEVATE FAITH and how we use, safeguard, and respect that information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information directly from you when you interact with our website, submit a form, request prayer, or make a voluntary contribution.

Contact Data: Name, email address, phone number, and physical mailing address provided when you fill out our "Contact Us" or "Prayer Request" forms.
Donation & Financial Data: Payment card details, billing address, and transaction amounts processed when you contribute to our church building fund. (Note: All payments are processed securely through encrypted third-party payment gateways; ELEVATE FAITH does not store complete financial account credentials on our servers).
Prayer Requests & Pastoral Notes: Any personal information, prayer requests, or feedback you choose to share in confidentiality with our pastoral care team.

B. Automated Technical Information

Log Files & Usage Data: Standard web analytics including IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts to analyze trends and manage website performance.
Cookies: Small data files stored on your device to enhance site navigation, remember user preferences, and optimize your browsing experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for legitimate charitable, ministry, and administrative purposes, including:

Processing and managing voluntary donations and issuing tax receipts or transaction confirmations.
Responding to direct inquiries, support messages, and prayer requests submitted through our website.
Keeping you informed about the construction progress of our church sanctuary at 1801 E Parmer Ln, Austin, TX, as well as upcoming community events.
Maintaining website security, preventing fraudulent transactions, and ensuring compliance with applicable legal standards.
Fulfilling advertising and policy compliance requirements for platform integrations (such as Google Ads and non-profit verification programs).

3. Information Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, trade, or lease your personal information to third parties.

We may share limited personal data only under the following necessary circumstances:

Trusted Service Providers: We partner with secure third-party vendors (such as credit card processors, web hosting providers, and email distribution services) who assist us in operating our site and conducting ministry operations. These partners are legally bound to protect your data and are not permitted to use it for independent purposes.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation to protect the legal rights, safety, or property of ELEVATE FAITH, our visitors, or the public.

4. Data Protection & Security

We employ industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical security measures—including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption—to safeguard your personal data during transmission and storage. While no internet transmission is 100% secure, we continuously update our safety protocols to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of user information.

5. Your Privacy Rights & Choices

If you believe your child has provided personal information on our website without parental consent, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.
