This Privacy Policy explains how CO Church collects, uses, and protects information provided through our website, giving experiences, text messaging program, forms, and other interactions with our ministry.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, donation information, communication preferences, and other information you choose to provide.

When you interact with CO Church by text message, we may also collect information related to those communications, including your mobile phone number, messages you send, messaging preferences, and your interactions with our text messaging services.

Payment card and banking information used to make donations may be processed securely by our payment service providers. CO Church does not use your payment information for purposes unrelated to processing or managing your donations.

We may use your information to:

  • Process and acknowledge donations;

  • Provide donation confirmations, receipts, giving history, and contribution statements;

  • Respond to requests and provide information or support;

  • Facilitate text-to-give and recurring giving services;

  • Communicate information you have requested from CO Church;

  • Send ministry or church communications when you have provided appropriate consent;

  • Maintain accurate ministry, donor, and communication records;

  • Protect the security and integrity of our systems; and

  • Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Mobile Information and SMS Consent

CO Church does not sell, rent, share, or disclose mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent data may be disclosed only to service providers that act on behalf of CO Church solely to provide the messaging, technology, security, or operational services necessary to deliver the communications requested by the individual. These service providers are not permitted to use mobile information or SMS consent data for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Message frequency varies based on your interactions with CO Church. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of text messages and HELP for assistance.

Donations and Service Providers

CO Church uses third-party service providers to support certain aspects of our ministry operations, including donation processing and communications.

These providers may process information as necessary to perform services on behalf of CO Church. Their handling of information may also be governed by their respective privacy policies and applicable law.

Information Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain donation and ministry records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce applicable agreements.

Your Choices

You may request that we update or correct certain personal information we maintain about you.

You may opt out of SMS communications by replying STOP to a message from CO Church.

Children’s Privacy

Our general website, donation services, and text messaging program are not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization or consent where required.

CO Church may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we make changes, we may update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
