This policy explains how The Gift Ministries uses information connected with this website. It covers our public pages, inquiry forms and newsletter signup, and explains how outside services support donations and course enrollment.
Information you share with us
When you submit an inquiry, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, organization, inquiry type and message. Program assistance inquiries may also include the program and course you selected and the details you share about your needs.
Newsletter signup collects your email address, optional first name and your consent to receive updates. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in an inquiry unless it is needed for the conversation.
Donations and paid course enrollment
Donation interactions are handled through Givebutter, including its embedded giving form. Givebutter and its payment providers may collect donor, transaction and payment information. This website does not directly collect or process your card or bank details. The Gift Ministries may receive donor and gift information needed for acknowledgments, stewardship and recordkeeping.
Paid course enrollment links take you to TalentLMS, with payment handled through Stripe. Enrollment and payment for each course are completed through those services, not through a checkout operated by this website. We may receive learner and enrollment information needed to provide course support.
Technical information and website services
Our hosting and service providers may process standard technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, pages requested, request times and error or security logs. Cookies or similar technologies may be used by the site or embedded services for their operation and security.
Wix is our CMS and content source for selected website content, including programs, courses, events and campaigns. It is not a separate enrollment checkout or inquiry form. Resend supports inquiry email delivery and newsletter contact management and email delivery, and processes the contact details and message information needed for those services.
How we use information
- Respond to inquiries and provide relevant program, enrollment or assistance information.
- Send newsletter communications when you have consented to receive them.
- Operate and improve the website and its services.
- Facilitate donations, course enrollment and related support.
- Protect against misuse, maintain security and meet applicable recordkeeping or legal obligations.
Sharing and third-party privacy practices
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with the staff and service providers who need it to carry out the purposes above, or when required by law or necessary to protect people and our services.
Givebutter, TalentLMS, Stripe, Wix, Resend and our hosting providers have their own privacy practices. When you use an embedded service or follow a link to another platform, review that service’s privacy policy for details about how it handles your information.
Your choices and privacy questions
You can unsubscribe from newsletter emails using the unsubscribe option in those messages. You can also contact us to ask about your information, request a correction or deletion, or discuss a privacy concern. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security or recordkeeping purposes.
Use our existing public contact page and select General Inquiry for privacy questions. Please share only the information needed to help us respond.
