1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information when you use our website:
- Personal Information: Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address (for example, when you sign up for newsletters, register for events, or submit prayer requests).
- Non-Personal Information: Information automatically collected, such as your browser type, device, IP address, and general usage data.

We use the information collected to:
- Communicate with you about church events, ministries, and services
- Respond to your requests or questions
- Improve our website and online ministry resources
- Provide updates, devotionals, and announcements (if you opt-in)
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers (such as email systems, payment processors, or website hosting) who assist us in operating our ministry. These providers are only authorized to use your information as necessary to perform their services.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance your experience. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but this may limit some features of our site.
5. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Messaging
We will send messages to users including: announcements and reminders; responses to prayer requests and stories from individuals; notes of encouragement; answers to questions received; message series with devotional or other content; and periodic surveys. Periodically, we may also send messages asking users about donating towards the mission of the church. Any charitable donation messages will direct users to a separate third party to collect all donations. Donations payable through a user’s wireless carrier bill will not be permitted.
You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text “STOP”, “END”, “QUIT”, “CANCEL” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to the 10-digit telephone number. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, text “START” to opt back in and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.
If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program, you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at info@fbchaughton.org.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency will vary and will also depend on the number of times you contact us or request a response. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
If you have any questions regarding privacy, please see our Privacy Notice or contact us at: info@fbchaughton.org.
Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
