Embrace the Truth respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit embracethetruth.org, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

This Privacy Policy is part of and incorporated into our Terms & Conditions.

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it. This includes:

• Your name and email address when you subscribe to our emails
• Your name, contact information, and payment details when you make a donation
• Information you provide when you register for a program, course, or event
• Anything you include when you contact us by email, phone, mail, or through our website

Our website does not offer user accounts. You cannot create a login or profile on embracethetruth.org.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we and our service providers automatically collect standard technical information. This may include your IP address, browser and device type, pages you visit, time spent on the site, and the website that referred you.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you emails, updates, and resources you have signed up to receive
• Process donations and provide giving receipts
• Register you for programs, courses, and events
• Respond to your questions and requests
• Understand how people use our website so we can improve it
• Reach people who may be interested in our teaching and resources through online advertising
• Meet our legal and financial reporting obligations

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to help our website function, measure how visitors use it, and understand the results of our outreach. We do not place personally identifiable information in cookies.

We use two main types:

• Analytics tools that show us how visitors find and use our website, such as which pages are most visited
• Advertising tools from social media and advertising platforms that help us measure ad performance and show relevant content to people who have visited our site

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you do, some features of our website, such as embedded videos, may not work properly.

Online Advertising

We sometimes advertise on social media and other online platforms to share our teaching and resources. To do this, we may:

• Show ads to people who have previously visited our website
• Use contact information you have given us, such as your email address, to create audiences on advertising platforms. These platforms use that information only to match audiences under their own privacy terms.
• Reach new people who share interests similar to those who already engage with our ministry

You can adjust ad personalization through the settings on each platform you use. You can also ask us to exclude your contact information from advertising audiences by contacting us.

Service Providers

We rely on trusted third party providers to operate our ministry. These may include an email marketing platform, a donation and donor management platform, payment processors, website hosting and analytics providers, advertising platforms, and registration or learning platforms for our programs.

These providers only receive the information they need to perform their services for us. Information you give directly to a provider, such as when you donate or register for a program, is also subject to that provider’s own privacy policy.

Donations are processed by a secure third party payment processor. We do not store full credit card or bank account numbers on our systems.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent, trade, or share your contact information with other ministries, churches, or organizations for their own use.

We share information only:

• With the service providers described above, as needed to operate our ministry
• When required by law, subpoena, or other legal process
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of Embrace the Truth, our supporters, or others

Links to Other Websites

Our website may link to websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing information with them.

Your Choices and Rights

You are in control of the information you share with us. You may:

• Unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send
• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request a correction if your information is inaccurate or incomplete
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to records we must keep for legal or financial reasons
• Withdraw consent to our use of your information for advertising audiences

To make a request, contact us using the information at the end of this policy. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will respond within 30 days.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Donation records are kept as long as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your information, we will remove it from active use, though limited records may remain where the law requires.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, and we choose service providers who do the same. No website, internet transmission, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Visitors Outside the United States

Embrace the Truth is based in the United States, and the information we collect is stored and processed in the United States. If you visit our website or share information with us from Canada or another country, you consent to your information being transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page and update the date at the top. If we make material changes, we will provide notice on our website before they take effect. Continuing to use our website after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
