Privacy Policy

Deerfield Beach Church of God of Prophecy (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, and how we use and safeguard it.

Information we collect

• Information you provide. When you submit a form — newsletter signup, plan-a-visit, prayer or care request, or Vacation Bible School registration — we collect the details you enter, such as your name, email, phone number, and (for VBS) the child information needed to care for your family.
• Guidance & discussion tools. When you use our AI “Ask for Guidance” or story-discussion features, the questions you type are sent to our service provider to generate a response. Please don’t share sensitive personal, medical, or financial details.
• Usage data. With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, links and buttons clicked, general location and device). This data is aggregated and helps us improve the site.

Cookies & analytics

We use Google Analytics with Google Consent Mode. By default, analytics cookies are off until you choose “Accept” in our cookie banner. If you decline, we collect only limited, cookieless, aggregated measurement. You can change your choice anytime by clearing your browser’s site data for this site.

Third-party services

We rely on a few trusted providers, each with its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics & YouTube (embedded sermon videos) — Google Privacy Policy.
• Giving apps — gifts made via Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle are processed by those services under their own terms; we never see your full payment credentials.

How we use your information

• To respond to your requests, welcome visitors, and provide pastoral care.
• To send updates you’ve signed up for (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To run programs you register for, such as Vacation Bible School.
• To understand and improve how our website serves our community.

We do not sell your personal information.

Children’s privacy

VBS and other children’s registrations are submitted by a parent or guardian, who provides consent for the information shared. We use children’s information solely to operate the program and care for participants. Contact us to review or delete this information.

Data retention & security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we work to safeguard your data.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may opt out of analytics via the cookie banner. To make a request, contact us below.
