Privacy Notice

How we handle personal information shared with Mount Zion Fire Ministries International.

Notice version: 2026-08-18

Information we collect

Depending on how you engage with the ministry, we may collect your name, contact details, address, event registration information, partnership information, membership details, attendance, communication preferences, photographs, and information you choose to share for pastoral or prayer support.

Why we use it

We use personal information to operate church services, manage members and visitors, process event registrations and partnership requests, provide pastoral care, record attendance, send communications you have agreed to receive, maintain finance and governance records, protect the website, and meet legitimate safeguarding or legal obligations.

Consent and communications

When a public form requires privacy consent, that consent permits us to process the form for its stated purpose. It does not automatically subscribe you to promotional email or SMS. Communication preferences are managed separately.

Sharing and service providers

We do not sell personal information. We may use carefully selected hosting, database, storage, backup, and email providers to operate the ministry system. We may also disclose information when required for safety, legal compliance, or with your permission.

Retention and security

We use access controls, staff authentication, audit records, encrypted connections, monitoring, and private backups. We review old records and keep information only while it remains reasonably necessary for ministry, safeguarding, accounting, governance, security, backup, or legal purposes. Review does not mean automatic deletion.

Your privacy request

You may contact us to ask about the personal information we hold, request a copy, correct inaccurate information, stop optional communications, or ask us to review deletion or de-identification. We will verify identity before releasing or changing personal information, and some records may need to be retained for lawful, safeguarding, finance, or ministry reasons.
