This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Your responses to questions about visiting our church, including whether you have attended before and how you prefer to be contacted.

Website usage information, such as browser type, IP address, pages visited, and information collected through cookies or tracking technologies.

We collect information that you voluntarily provide and certain technical information automatically generated when you use our website.

3. Facebook and Instagram Lead Forms

The Feast of the Lord may use Facebook and Instagram advertisements that allow individuals to submit information through Meta Instant Forms.

When you submit one of these forms, we may receive your name, email address, phone number, and answers to questions about your intended church visit.

We use this information to respond to your expressed interest, prepare for your visit, and communicate with you according to your selected contact preferences.

Submitting a form does not automatically enroll you in recurring promotional text messages or email campaigns.

If you indicate that no contact is needed, we will respect that preference for visitor follow-up communications.

4. Text Messages and Telephone Calls

We respect your right to decide whether and how you wish to be contacted.

When a form offers communication preferences:

Yes, text me: You are requesting text communication from The Feast of the Lord concerning your inquiry or planned visit.
Yes, call me: You are requesting a telephone call concerning your inquiry or planned visit.
No contact needed—I'll see you in church!: We will not initiate visitor follow-up calls or texts based on that form submission.

We use Dialpad for personal telephone calls and text messages. Our visitor follow-up messages are intended to be personal, helpful, and relevant to your inquiry. Message frequency varies based on your inquiry and conversation with us.

We will not enroll you in recurring promotional text messages without obtaining any additional consent required by applicable law.

Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us using the information below.

We honor STOP requests and other clear requests to stop text messages and do not resume text messaging unless appropriate consent is obtained. You may receive a final message confirming your opt-out.

You can also ask us to stop visitor follow-up telephone calls or change your contact preferences by telling us during a call or contacting us using the information below. We will respect your request.

Consent to receive promotional text messages is not a condition of attending church, participating in ministry activities, or making a donation.

5. Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may use it to respond to your inquiry, provide information you requested, or communicate about a planned church visit.

We may also send church announcements, ministry updates, or other promotional communications when permitted by applicable law and your communication preferences.

You may request to stop receiving promotional emails by using an unsubscribe option when available or emailing info@orangeburgchurch.com.

6. Website Cookies and Advertising Technology

Our website may use cookies and third-party technologies, including the Meta Pixel, to understand website activity, measure advertising effectiveness, and improve our outreach.

These technologies may collect information about your browser, device, pages visited, and interactions with our website.

Where enabled, information may be shared with advertising or analytics providers for measurement and advertising purposes.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and applicable privacy controls offered by those providers.

We do not use website tracking as a substitute for obtaining consent where consent is required.

7. Third-Party Service Providers

To operate our website and ministry services, we may use third-party providers, including:

Meta, for Facebook and Instagram advertising and lead forms.
Planning Center, for church administration and related services.
Dialpad, for church telephone and text communications.
Stripe and other authorized payment processors, for online transactions.
Website hosting, email, and technology service providers.

These providers may process information as necessary to deliver services to The Feast of the Lord, subject to their applicable terms, privacy policies, and legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights, and security of individuals or the church.

8. Donations and Financial Information

When you give online, payment information is processed through authorized payment service providers.

The Feast of the Lord maintains appropriate donation and transaction records for administrative, accounting, and legal purposes.

Payment card information is handled according to the security practices of the applicable payment processor.

9. Protecting Your Information

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

Access to personal information is limited to authorized individuals who need it for appropriate ministry or administrative responsibilities.

Although we work to safeguard information, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and general online forms are not intended to collect personal information directly from children under age 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.

If we discover that information has been collected from a child under 13 without the required authorization, we will take appropriate steps to address or delete it.

Information collected for Children's Ministry participation is handled through appropriate church registration and safeguarding procedures.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, meet legal or accounting requirements, maintain appropriate ministry records, or resolve disputes.
