Privacy notice

A plain description of what ChurchGiveaways collects, why, and who can see it. This notice is reviewed with qualified counsel before any contributor contact sharing is enabled in production.

Who is responsible

ChurchGiveaways.com is operated by FaithVenture Media. The operator decides how the personal data described here is used. Registered Churches use the platform free of charge.

What we collect

Your name, email address, telephone number, the Church listing you select, your self-reported role and approximate weekly attendance, plus your communication choices. We also record which campaign you registered for, how you arrived (a referral link, for example), and whether you opened a gift.

Why we hold it

To create your profile, register you for the campaigns you choose, let you access the gifts offered, keep an accurate record of what you agreed to, and report aggregate interest to the organizations taking part.

Church affiliation is treated as sensitive

Identifying a Church can reveal a religious connection. We treat that as potentially sensitive personal data: it is stored securely, never published, and never shown to a contributor unless you explicitly authorized that named organization for that campaign.

Sharing with contributors

At registration you see the exact organizations taking part in that campaign. You decide whether your contact details are shared with them, and for which channel. Sharing is per campaign and per organization. You can withdraw a permission at any time from your account, and we stop future disclosure. A referral link never grants anyone access to your details.

Church research

For each Church listing, we may compile a private, admin-only note about publicly available facts such as an official website. This note is not shown to Churches or contributors, is not used to make eligibility decisions, and is not published anywhere on the platform.

Your rights

You can review the data on your profile, correct it, withdraw a sharing permission, or ask us for a copy or the deletion of your data. Contact the platform team from your account page and we will respond within the periods required by applicable law.

Contests run by contributors

Prize drawings open on the sponsor's own website under that sponsor's rules and privacy notice. ChurchGiveaways does not receive your entry, does not select winners, and does not treat a click as an entry.
