If you donate through the Site, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor (for example: [Stripe / PayPal / Donorbox / Tithe.ly / Pushpay]).

  We may share information only as needed with:

  • Service providers that help operate our Site and ministry operations (hosting, analytics, email platforms, CRM/donor systems, payment processors)

  • Legal and compliance authorities if required to comply with law, enforce rights, or respond to lawful requests

  • Ministry partners only when necessary to fulfill a request you made (for example, coordinating a volunteer opportunity), and only with appropriate safeguards

  All third parties are expected to handle information responsibly and in a manner consistent with this Policy.
