This page holds the privacy policy for McIlwain Presbyterian Church: how information shared with us through this site is handled and cared for.
Information We Collect
When you contact us through this website, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, the reason for your message, and anything you write to us, including a prayer request. We use this only to respond to you and to provide pastoral care.
When you visit the site, we may automatically collect standard analytics information, such as the pages you view, the type of device and browser you use, and a general, city-level location. This helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, and it is not used to personally identify you.
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure how the site is used. It sets cookies that collect the analytics information described above. You can opt out at any time using your browser's cookie controls or Google's opt-out tools.
Because we are a church website and do not use your information for advertising, we do not interrupt your visit with a cookie pop-up. This policy is our plain disclosure of what we collect and how to opt out.
How Your Information Is Managed
Analytics data is collected and managed by Heron Product Company, which builds and maintains this website on the church's behalf. The church has access to its own analytics.
The messages and prayer requests you send through this website belong to the church. They are kept private, shared only with the staff and leaders who need them to respond and to care for you, and are never used for analytics or marketing.
Third-Party Services
Some pages include content from other services: video from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, the church calendar from Google Calendar, and online giving through our giving portal. Scripture is provided through the ESV API from Crossway. When you use these features, those services may set their own cookies or collect information under their own privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children for the purpose of collecting personal information. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Participation in our children's and youth ministries is arranged directly with our staff, not through this website.
Your Choices
You can opt out of analytics using your browser or Google's tools. If you have sent us a message and would like us to review or delete the information you provided, please contact us using the details below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date it was last updated is shown at the top of this page.
